In this week's post, we are reviewing the Lucas Tutorials from Week 9-10 posted by your classmates. As we prepare for our individual persuasive speeches, it is important that we keep coming back to Lucas to help us understand what makes good persuasive speaking.
Speaking to persuade is one of the most challenging forms of public speaking and presentation. For this, you are addressing a skeptical audience, which adds another layer of pressure to this unique situation.
Remember that the unique challenge of persuasive speaking is that we must influence or change the minds of our audience. This means we must know who they are, what they believe, and what kind of argument and evidence will serve to challenge their points of view.
For this blog post, I want you to view 2 of your classmates' tutorial videos. From each, reflect on one key learning you gain that will benefit the preparation of your persuasive speech. Please take these tutorials to heart, as they truly matter to your work.
Please make your first post by Sunday night, and then respond to 2 other posts by next class.
As always, please remember to include your ID# in your posts. Aj. M

ReplyDeleteThe first tutorial video I watched was emotional appeal. I always believed that emotions are very important in any kind of speech. Emotions can help us to deliver our thought to the audience easily. And it can be more persuasive than facts. I learned many effective ways about how to use my emotions in the persuasive speech from the video. But, the most important point that I learn was to connect my emotions with logic and facts. I think that if I use this advice and I was able to connect my emotions about my persuasive speech topic and a real facts my speech. I will be able to reach my audience hearts and convince them by my ideas.
the second video I watch was demographic audience analysis. I think this is a very good point to know before my persuasive speech, especially that we have students in this class are coming from different backgrounds. the first learning was the steps of demographic analysis such as identifying the general demographic features. Age and religion are one of the aspect were we need to analysis our audience in before the persuasive speech. I will definitely consider the Age of my classmates and try to select a topic which they might be interested in. As I said many of us came from different backgrounds so we have many different religions in this class. And it is important that my topic Won't crossover any of these religions.
Napat Pracharktam 6329007 (section 1)
DeleteI totally agree that emotional appeals are very important in delivering a speech, especially for a persuasive speech. I also think that in order to successfully persuade the audience, we need to consider their possible perspectives towards the speech topic, and we can do this by identifying their demographic features and backgrounds.
Ratchanon Nanagara 6329022 (Section 2)
DeleteWith persuasive speech, emotions are definitely crucial. More importantly, I also believe connecting emotions with logics and facts would even be even better in convincing my ideas to the audience.
Mananchaya Punsiri 6329021 (Section 2)
DeleteI completely agree with you that we should be aware of choosing the topic that will not cause conflict with the audience, particularly when speaking about gender and religions. Therefore, I think it is crucial to analyze the audience demographic to give the appropriate speech and to effectively persuade the audience.
Phornrawin Wongkarnjanapanich 6329016 Section 1
DeleteI strongly agree with you that emotions play a huge role in persuading the audience. It helps the speaker deliver their thoughts to the wider perspective. By combining both factual knowledge with emotions, one could have a very effective persuasive speech.
Napat Pracharktam 6329007 (section 1)
ReplyDeleteThe tutorial video on Psychology of Persuasion made me realize that delivering a persuasive speech to audiences is like having a conversation with my friends. In other words, my friends could be agreeing on some parts of my opinions and disagreeing on the other parts, except that in this case they do not verbally response. One key learning from the video is to anticipate possible objections and questions in the audience’s mind, by putting myself in their shoes, and make sure to answer those counter-points and concerns in the speech.
From the tutorial video on Reasoning, I learnt that the audience needs to first understand your reasoning before they can agree with your standpoint. For the principle of reasoning, it often begins with general claims and ends with specific conclusion. When preparing points to be discussed in my persuasive speech, I would need to be careful that my reasoning is clear and not based on logical fallacies as they can later raise logical questions and weaken my credibility as a speaker.
heba bashir 6318031 section 2
DeleteI agree with importance of psychology of persuasion which carry many question in the minds of audience so the speaker must know all the probabilities and learn how will answer and deal with these points to facility persuasive the audience in the topic or speech .
Ratchanon Nanagara 6329022
DeleteI myself find the 'Psychology of Persuasion' tutorial video really useful. By treating persuasive speech as a conversation with my friends, I believe I will be able to do be more comfortable and do better with it.
Omar Alshawwa 6318029 (section2)
DeleteDefinitely it is important to learn what are the questions may come to your audience mind and try to answer it before they ask. This will make us more prepared and ready to give a speech. It might be useful to speak with our friends about the speech topic to know what might my audience think.
I agree that we should make sure that our points are clear to the audience. And they are understanding what we are trying to explain, so they won't have many questions.
Mananchaya Punsiri 6329021 (Section 2)
DeleteI think it is true that the audiences have to understand our reasons first before they can agree to believe on our point of view. It is also important to make sure that our reason is clear, not biased, or based on logical fallacies. This is because when our argument is biased or not clear, this can easily lower the speaker credibility.
Phornrawin Wongkarnjanapanich 6329016 Section 1
DeleteI agree with you that we could treat persuasive speeches as having mental dialogues with the audience. We should stepping in their shoes and incorporate the possible objections an audience could raise and answer it in our speech.
heba bashir 6318031 section 2
ReplyDeletethe tutorial video about using evidence by Omar learned me how the evidence is important goal to persuasive the audience and let them believe in the topic so using the novel and specific evidence make the speech real and near from facts so it will be credible sources in the speech .
from the tutorial video on question of fact which talked about truth or falsity of an assertion this will make the speaker advocate for specific topic such as California earthquake example how much the topic organization make the audiences arrive to the facts by real numbers and ratios so I will be more organize in persuasive speech for the facts and real information which using in the speech .
Omar Alshawwa 6318029 (section 2)
DeleteI agree with you, using evidence in the speech has many advantages. It will be easier for the audience to believe in what are you saying if you include the information sources. Aslo, they will have trust on you if you shared the sources with them.
Making my presentation or speech well organized, it will sure help me to persuade my audience. organized idea will be more effective and easy to understand.
Pribdao Charumattanont 6329017
DeleteThankyou heba, I agree with Omar's video too because by using evidence you make your speech more credible as a whole and the audeince will likely understand and rely on your speech more than if you just present the topic without any evidence.
Palakorn Piyawannasuth 6329018 Section 1
DeleteI fully agree with Heba that giving some evidence to the speech, such as a novel or some specific evidence can make the speech a more creditable source. In my opinion, it is really crucial to have creditable speech when we want someone like audiences to be persuaded. Moreover, it is also important to have real information because it will really bad if we are trying to persuade someone with a false source of information.
I agree with you about the use of evidence in a persuasive speech. People must believe in the speaker and his credibility. Persuasion is generally a difficult process, but lack of credibility can make it more difficult. So, it is one of the most important aspect.
DeleteMd. Abdullah Al Mamun, ID: 6318028, Section: 2

Ratchanon Nanagara 6329022 (Section 2)
ReplyDeleteThe first tutorial video I watched is “Question of Facts”. In this video, I learnt that question of facts is a question about the truth or falsity of an assertion. However, for some questions, we do not have enough information to know whether there is a true answer (such as predictions or open-ended questions). For persuasive speech, a question of fact is partisan. The speaker acts as an advocate to present one view of the facts as persuasively as possible.
The second tutorial video I watched is “Question of Policy”. Question of policy is a question about whether a specific course of action should or should not be taken. There are two main types of speech on questions of policy: speeches to gain passive agreement (persuasive speech to convince the audience that given policy is desirable without encouraging the audience to take action) and speech to gain immediate action (persuasive speech to convince the audience to take action in support of a given policy).
Tisthong Charoonmethee 6329009 Section 1
DeleteI totally agree with you on the question of fact, when applying to the persuasive speech, I need to present the fact as persuasively as possible to get the audiences to our side.
Chanisara K. 6329003 Sec 1
DeleteThe role of a speaker in a persuasive speech is to attempt to convince the audience by proposing an answer to a question (even if it may not be 100% true). So I agree that the speaker is just acting as "an advocate to present one view of the facts".
Nanthasak Kanchanathipkhachorn 6329012 Section 1
ReplyDeleteThe tutorial by Pin on Demographic Audience Analysis taught me how important it is to know your audience. By analysing your audience, you can avoid stereotyping--which could cause a lot of trouble. Knowing your audience will help you group them by category such as age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and etc., and will help you to choose your topic and be more careful of your words.
From the tutorial Building Credibility by Palakorn, credibility plays an important role in making a good speech. Credibility mainly have 2 important factors: competence and character. The 2 factors makes it easier for the audience to accept what the speaker is saying or claiming. I also learned that it is important to establish a common ground with the audience to connect more with the audience.
Tisthong Charoonmethee 6329009 Section1
DeleteIt is crucial to establish solid reputation. You will improve your credibility by stating your competence, building common ground with the listener. Resulting in audience's genuine trust in what you're talking about while you were speaking.
Pribdao Charumattanont 6329017
DeleteI agree with this because in order to present a good speech, we have to know and analyze what our audience is like. This will help us choose the topic and know what language to use when speaking.
Panachai Limninart 6329013 sec 1
DeleteI agree that understanding your audience will help you categorize them as well as help you select a subject and be more careful with your phrases. This method can help us avoid so many problem.
Napat Satitthummanit 6329006 (Section 1)
ReplyDeleteThe first video was on building credibility. There are 2 factors that make the audience accept what the speakers say. First, is the character and the second is competence which refers to the speaker’s expertise. The video made me realize that the credibility of the speaker is judged even before the speech, and the ending of the speech can affect the initial credibility of the next speech. So, it is important to build strong credibility. While speaking, you can enhance your credibility by stating your competence, creating common ground for the audience, and truly believe in what you are talking about.
The second video was on appealing to emotions. To persuade audience, the speaker need to make the audience feel with the speech. One key thing that I gained is that emotional appeals should not be used for evidence. It is really important to use emotional appeal ethically, speakers should use only sound logic and information to persuade audiences.
Pakawatwong bunluesak 6329031 section 2
DeleteI agree with you that it is very important that you show great credibility for your audiences since it will make your persuasion more effective in the viewpoint of the audiences and that our credibility will be establish by the audiences before we even start to speak.
Akarapol Vichitvigrom 6329029 sec 2
DeleteI agree with you that credibility is important so persuasion will be more persuasive and more credible, making people believe in more, making it easier to maintain the interest of the audience.
Panachai Limninart 6329013 sec1
DeleteI agree that the speaker's credibility is assessed even before the speech begins, and that the conclusion of one speech will influence the credibility of subsequent speeches. As a consequence, it is crucial to develop strong credibility.
DeleteUracha Wachirawuttikai 6329030 (Section 2)
I agree with you that it is important to show credibility because it will make your persuasive speech more effective and gain the attention of the audience.
Tisthong Charoonmethee 6329009 Section 1
ReplyDeleteQuestion of value
Question of value is the worth, rightness, morality of an idea or action. Oftentime it might be confused with the question of fact that asks for the scientific outcome. So, the possible answer to the question must depend on factual knowledge and our moral values. When applying questions of value to the persuasive speeches, I need to organize my speech topically. Starting with the first main point which I would establish the standard for my value judgement. For the second main point, I would apply those standards to the subject of my speech.
Appealing to emotions
Emotion appeals are the intentions to make listeners feel sad, angry, guilty, afraid, happy or even sympathetic. To generate emotional appeal, I need to use emotional language which I would utilize emotion-laden words; to produce a desired effect. Followed by developing vivid examples; adding illustrative descriptions towards the story I am trying to say, for example, saying the cause and effects on one person. And speak with sincerity and conviction; every single words I say must be truthful in order to let the audience feel it too.
Pin Ngenpisutsin section 1 (6329014)
DeleteI agree with you that the speech involve emotions are more trustworthy. Emotional languages and description are important as you mentioned. It is true that it is essential to keep in mind that all the words we say to the speakers needed to be truthful in order to let audience receive our emotions.
Hatailux Boontub 6329025 section2
DeleteI believe that emotion appeals are very important when delivering speech. It is one of the factors that can greatly persuade the audience by using emotion-laden words and examples.
Mananchaya Punsiri 6329021 (Section 2)
ReplyDeleteThe first video is about appealing to emotions. One key learning point that benefits the preparation for my persuasive speech is adding emotions to the argument can make a more compelling persuasive speaker. This is because the intention of using emotional appeals is to stirrup emotions, which can lead to the reaction by making the listener feel afraid, compassionate, sad, angry, etc. There are three ways to generate emotional appeals, for instance using emotional language, developing vivid examples, and speaking with sincerity and conviction. Additionally, it is imperative to use emotional appeal ethically and make sure that it is suitable for the chosen topic.
The second video is using evidence, with the key learning that using strong and supporting evidence can enhance the speaker's credibility and increase persuasiveness. The evidence can be statistics, testimony, and example. There are three tips for using evidence to make a more persuasive speech. Firstly, using specific evidence such as supporting number statistics rather than using a general term. Secondly, using novel evidence by citing new evidence and finding in-depth research. Thirdly, using evidence from credible sources to support the points is better than using less qualified sources. Lastly, it is important to keep in mind that the evidence is used just to prove a point, but the speaker is the one who should make a conclusion for the audience.
Pakawatwong Bunluesak 6329031 section 2
DeleteI agree with you in the fact that using a strong piece of evidence can enhance our credibility as a speaker making our speech a more persuasive one. The evidence we use in our speech is very important, we should use evidence which is a specific one or evidence that are new to the audiences. Our evidences that we use should come from a credible sources.
I strongly agree with you that evidences can improve one's credibility. Hence, speaker needs specific evidences to support their speeches but it is also important that all evidences we used should come from reliable sources.

Md. Abdullah Al Mamun, Id:6318028, Secion: 2
DeleteI strongly agree on the aspects of emotional aspects. We can not ignore this emotional appeals, rather it can really improve the communication between the speaker and the audience and they can feel the same appeal for the topic.
Pakawatwong Bunluesak 6329031 section 2
ReplyDeleteThe first Lucas tutorial video I watched was the question of policy. When we are doing a persuasive speech about the question of policy, we should consider three basic issues. These three are first the needs. This step we have to convince our listeners for change in current policy. The second issue is the Plan. In this part, we should point out the problem with the old policy and provide a solution to help solve the problem. The last issue is the Practicality. This is when we have to show audiences that our proposed solution is successful in solving the problem. When I am planning to do a question of policy, I will have to consider these three issue to make sure that my speech will be a persuasive one.
The second video tutorial I watched was about using evidences. Evidences are very crucial in your persuasive speech and when you are using evidence can help you better persuade your audiences. In our persuasive speech we should consider to use specific evidences enhancing the speaker’s credibility because it makes the audience know that the speaker has an understanding of the facts. We should also use novel evidences in our persuasive speech which is using evidence that is new to the listeners which may require the speaker to do more research. It is an effective way of using evidence since the speaker will be present a new information making it persuasive. We should also use evidence from sources that are credible or well known rather than evidence from non-credible sources. The important thing about using evidences is that we as a speaker should make sure that we clearly state about the point we are trying to prove using that piece of evidence in our speech.
Nutnichaporn Phugdiprapai 6329008 (Section 1)
DeleteFor the question of policy, I agree that those 3 main issues are the ones that we, as a speaker, have to consider in our persuasive speech. Since it could affects how the audiences understand and believe in speakers' speech.
Napat Pracharktam 6329007 (Section 1)
DeleteI agree that the three main basic issues: needs, plan and practicality are very important to be included in a persuasive speech. Also, it surprised me that we should use evidence that is new to the listeners.
Pribdao Charumattanont 6329017
ReplyDeleteAppeal to emotions: This first video that I watched really helped me reflect on myself. In anything you do, people will feel for you if you learn to add emotions to it. Same thing goes with the speech. Have you ever listened to someone perform their speech without emotions or life? It's very boring. So the benefits of using emotions to a persuasive speech is that people will feel what you're going through whether whatever those set of emotions will be. There are many ways you can have emotional appeals such as emotional language, developing examples that are vivid and speaking with conviction and sicerity keeping in mind that the emotions that you choose to deal with correlate with the topic you are presenting about too. Practice is key and also inflicting real life emotions to your speech will make it way more believable.
Question of value: The definition of question of value is rightness, and morality of an idea or action. Question of values need to have the right balance between factual knowledge or scientific knowledge and morality. To compare this to a real life persuasive speech. We need to present the audience with factual knowledge and from that factual knowledge, we can analyze and crtizize to put those into our own opinions and explain it to our audience.
I agree with you that real-life emotions are necessary for a persuasive speech as it helps to make a strong connection between speaker and audiences. Also, it will definitely make the speech more believable.

Including emotions into our speech is clearly the important task to do, however, it requires a lot of effort and practice.
Arissara Kannasombat 6329028 sec2
ReplyDeleteThe first video I watched is “Building Credibility.” From this tutorial video, I have learned that there are many types of credibilities included in a speech; for example, initial credibility, derived credibility, and terminal credibility. Also, there are many ways to improve one’s credibility. One suggestion that I found it is important to include in my speech would be to emphasize on study and research. Therefore, all the tips and suggestions in this video would definitely help me to enhance my credibility in the speech.
The second video I watched is ‘Question of policy.” In this video, I have learned that question of policy is a question about whether a specific course of action should or should not be taken. Moreover, there are also many factors that are needed in analyzing the question of policy. For instance, the speaker needs a plan to solve a problem with current policy and also shows the audience that your plan will work by demonstrating a successful plan that is similar to your solution. By watching this tutorial video, I also got many ways to organize my persuasive speech following the patterns that are used for policy speeches.
Napat Satitthummanit 6329006 (section 1)
DeleteI also agree with Arissara that adding research studies and data is a way to enhance speaker's credibility. Building a good credibility on one speech can influence initial credibility of your next speech as well.
Chanisara K. 6329003 Sec 1
DeleteYes, for a good persuasive speech organization, there are patterns that should be followed to make the proposed plan a policy. To analyze the question of policy we must also plan things out and show how it will work to the audience.
Panachai Limninart 6329013 sec1
ReplyDeleteFrom the question of value video, some questions require not only factual judgments, but also value judgments based on a person's views on what is right and wrong, good and evil, moral and immoral, correct or inappropriate, fair and unfair. Question of value is not only personal taste or opinion. As a result, if you're giving a speech about a topic of importance, make sure to explain and consider the criteria for value judgment. The majority of the time, a persuasive speech on a value issue is structured topically. The most common approach is to define a value judgment standard, and then apply those criteria to the topic of your speech.
From the tutorial question of policy, when giving a persuasive speech on a policy topic, there are three basic issues to remember. We must persuade listeners to change current policy in this step. The Plan is the second thing. In this section, we can define the flaws in the previous policy and propose a solution to help solve the problem. The last point to consider is practicality. This is the point at which we must demonstrate to the audience that our suggested solution is effective in solving the problem.
Wattanawadee Ruangvanish 6329032 (Section2)
DeleteI agree with you from the question of policy topic that we must persuade the listener to change current policy and to define the flaws in the policy. The demonstration to audience will also make the speech more effective too.
Chanisara K. 6329003 Sec.1
ReplyDeleteThe first video I watched mentions three key aspects of appealing to emotions. Using emotional language can help generate strong emotional power resulting in a reaction from the audience that we want. This means that we can evoke feelings of fear, anger, guilt, etc. given if the words we use are emotion-laden and effectively used. The video then explains how the use of vivid examples can make a huge difference in the emotional appeal by comparing two examples (one of the examples describes a case of a person who has been infected with COVID-19, while the other does not). We can conclude that the use of vivid examples can help convey messages in a way that makes the audience able to feel what it is like to be in the situation. Lastly, it is crucial for the speaker to understand that emotional appeal should not be used as a substitute for evidence and that it should be appropriate for the topic of the speech.
Building credibility is also very important in a persuasive speech. The video I watched explains that credibility is an attitude, meaning that it is dependent on the audience. As much as our credibility varies for each topic, it also varies for each audience. Before we speak we usually have a set level of credibility, but that changes depending on the things we say. Like a domino effect, it also affects your credibility for the next speech. Luckily, there are ways to enhance your credibility if you ever mess up your speeches (like I did). The first way is to explain your competence. This is when you show that you have done thorough research on your topic or that you have prior knowledge or experience on it. Another way is to establish common ground with the audience. This is done by identifying ideas that the audience agrees with and trying to express how your point aligns with their beliefs. Lastly, speaking with genuine conviction can help boost your credibility. A lot of research, a faster pace, and vocal variety represent this.
Akarapol Vichitvigrom 6329029 sec 2
DeleteI agree with appealing with emotion. It can create a strong emotion on the audience, and using vivid examples can be a great way to generate emotions on the audience.
Pin Ngenpisutsin section 1 (6329014)
DeleteI agree with you. Credibility is very important because audiences will believe what speakers say when they are reliable. Hence, researching, speaking with genuine, and identifying and connecting information to the audiences are ways to improve our credibility which leads to successful persuasive speech as you mentioned.
Pipatra Tirapairojana 6329019 Section 1
DeleteI strongly agree to you that incorporating emotions to our speech can help generate reactions from audiences. I also believe that adding descriptive illustrations could help speakers express their emotions and help audiences visualize the situation better.
Akarapol Vichitvigrom 6329029 sec 2
ReplyDeleteThe first video I watched was emotional appeal. It can also be called pathos, and it is intended to make listeners feel sad, angry, guilty, afraid, happy, proud, and etc. For example, to invoke fear in the audience, the speaker can talk about serious illness, natural disaster, sexual assault, personal rejection, or economic hardship. Audiences can understand the emotions conveyed in a speech easier than other appeals, if used correctly, it can be a very powerful tool to persuade audiences. To make it more effective, we need to make use of vivid examples, this pulls the listeners into the speech. However, it must be used appropriately, it must be used in question of policy, but inappropriate to be used in a question of fact, which is about information and fact.
The next video I watched was on reasoning. Reasoning is the process of drawing a conclusion on the basis of evidence. Reasoning is important because no matter how strong the evidence is, if the reasoning is weak, then the listeners will not be persuaded. Reasoning is the process of drawing conclusions from a given evidence. To reason properly, we need to check if it is sound and make sure that the audience understands and agrees with it. Reasoning generally has evidence, and we need to analyze and explain it with a conclusion. This will be useful for my persuasive and academic speech because we need to analyze evidence and make sure it is sound and the audience is interested in it.
Hatailux Boontub 6329025 section2
DeleteI agree with you that proper reasons must be given in order to persuade the audience. Although a strong argument is provided, it is more necessary to include explanations.
Uracha Wachirawuttikai 6329030 (Section 2)
ReplyDeleteThe first video is building credibility. There are two factors that affect your credibility. The first one is competence which means how the audiences consider the speaker’s knowledge. The second factor is character which is how the audience regards a speaker's trustworthiness. Also, I learned that to enhance credibility, we should explain the competence, create common ground for the audience, and try to speak fluently.
The second video is emotional appeal. Emotional appeals are the intention to make the audience experience different sensations. I learned that to generate emotional appeal, the speaker needs to use emotional language, develop vivid examples by adding illustrative descriptions in the story, and speak with sincerity and conviction. Also, it is important to use emotional appeal ethically.
Nutnichaporn Phugdiprapai 6329008 (Section 1)
DeleteI also agree with you on the building credibility that speakers are must to enhance their credibility for the audiences to believe what speakers speak.
Atikan Thangwatcharapong 6329026 (section 2)
DeleteI agree with Uracha about the fact that speaker's credibility is depending on how the audience consider the speaker's knowledge and the character of the speaker. The speakers should look trustworthy to make the audience believe in what they say.
I also agree with emotional appeals effect audience attention toward the speaker. Illustration and sincerity and conviction will attract audience attention as well as persuade them.

ReplyDeleteThe first video clip was about Question policy by Jellybean. There are two main types of the question of policy, first is the speech to gain passive agreement, and the second one is to gain immediate action. She mentioned about how to analyze the question of policy which there are three basic steps, need, plan, and practicality. In my opinion, it will be useful in the persuasive speech by making the speech more effective and grab the audience’s attention and want to follow.
The second video clip was about the Question of value by Jiang. He explained that some questions not only involve matters of fact, but they also demand value judgments. Most of the time, persuasive speech on a question of value is organized topically, which means that it is organized and separated a point by another point. The most common approach is to establish the standard for value judgment and the second main point would be to apply the standards to the subject of your speech.
Jirapat Chirachanchai 6329002 (Section 1)
DeleteI learnt the same thing that the question of policy needs the three steps: Need; plan; and practicality. I will surely use this knowledge to help me on the persuasive speech.

DeleteI agree that there are 3 basic steps in analysis of question of policy which are need, plan, and practicality. This is essential for persuasive speech. Also, I agree that some question involve not only fact but also judgements. For this question of value persuasive speech, the speech is organized topically. The purposes are to establish the standard for value judgement and apply the standard to the speech.
Hatailux Boontub 6329025 section2
ReplyDeleteThe first tutorial video I watched was about question of fact. What I have learned from this video is that there are many questions of fact that cannot be answered absolutely. Although there are true answers, we are unable to reach a conclusion due to a lack of information. The question that belongs to prediction is one of the examples. Furthermore, according to this tutorial video, when giving a persuasive speech, you have to persuade the audience of your point of view by explaining one side of the facts as persuasively as possible, then you must draw a conclusion.
From the “Demographic Audience Analysis” video, I have learned several points that can be applied to my persuasive speech. The first is that we should be able to identify general features. This means that, in terms of age, each generation has different perspectives, so it is obvious that their views may differ from those of the previous generations. The following point is belief; we should avoid false beliefs. When delivering a persuasive speech, bear in mind that some listeners may have racial or cultural viewpoints that will affect their attitudes towards your speech, and your goal is to find how the audience will respond to each characteristic of your speech
Chinnawat Thotsaphonphaisan 6329004 section 1
DeleteFor the video about question of fact, I totally agree that to persuade your audience, you have to explain or inform one side of the facts as persuasively as possible. Then finish with a conclusion. This is one way to a successful persuasive speech.
Pin Ngenpisutsin section 1 (6329014)
ReplyDeleteFor persuasive speech, credibility is important in order to provoke other to believe into what the speaker say. I listened to building credibility video. There are 2 factors of credibility. First is competence which refers to how the audience regards to speakers knowledge of that particular subject. Second is character which is how audience regards to speaker’s sincerity and welling of the audiences. It is important for audiences to observe speakers’ competence and characteristic which help speaker to convince the audiences to the content of their speech. Moreover, along the video, I got tips such as the way to show respect to the audiences to increase the credibility by identifying the speaker’s ideas to the audiences by showing speakers’ points of view is consistent with what audiences’ believe. Another video that I watched was Question of fact. It is a true or false of an assertion. However, according to the video, it is a fact that there some questions that cannot be answered exactly. Along the video, I learned how aims of the persuasive speech different from informative speech. This aids me to identify and organize the persuasive into the right way. Hence, I can effectively produce the speech and delivery information to the audiences.
I totally agree to you that the speaker's competence and characteristic could help persuade audiences about their speech. Alongside with sincerity and confidence, speakers would enhance the possibility that audience will accept what the they say.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the Question of fact video, it basically is to consider that the fact of those topic which we speak to the audience is persuasive enough to gain audience’s attention and convince or not. Since sometimes questions don’t have an absolute answer, we have to be persuasive as we present only one view of the fact. The organization of your speech is very important in order to deliver your points to persuade audience’s as much as possible.
Another one is the video of Building credibility. There’re 2 mains factors of credibility which are competence (how audiences regards a speaker intelligence) and character (how audiences regards a speaker’s trustworthiness). The more favorably audiences view of a speaker, the more they accept the fact we speak. So, a speaker have to enhance the credibility of your own so that the speech becomes more interesting and trustworthy.
Anantaya L. 6329027 section2
DeleteI strongly agree with the part where you mention that fact is important in order to successfully establish a point in a persuasive speech. I also think organization is really important to the overall flow of the speech too.
Palakorn Piyawannasuth 6329018 Section 1
DeleteI agree with her that we need to know about our topic that it can persuade the audience or not. This is one of the facts that I have to adapt in my own persuasive speech. Next is 'Building credibility'. This is important to the speech because it can determine whether the speech is trustable or not, and it cannot be neglected in the persuasive speech.
ReplyDeleteMd. Abdullah Al Mamun, ID: 6318028, Section: 2
The first video that I have watched is about 'Using evidence' in a persuasive speech. 'Using Evidence' maybe one of the most important part where the speaker can gain his credibility in a persuasive speech. In the mean time the speaker can show that, he is not just showing his personal opinions rather how the intellectual world is thinking about that specific topic. Therefore, the evidences have to be specific and from credible resources. It is also important to deliver the newest/updated evidences where the speaker is making his point clear to his audience.
The second video that I have watched is about 'reasoning'. simply in this reasoning, we want to find the conclusions from available evidences. This topic is really interesting. In a persuasive speech reasoning has two major concerns. firstly, it has to be sound and secondly, it has to be convincing to the listener what makes sense in real world. There are four basic methods of reasoning. They are specific reasoning, reasoning from principles, Casual reasoning, and analogical reasoning respectively. Every types is important in a persuasive speech. We need to be careful of an error in reasoning or fallacies while delivering a persuasive speech. There are many kinds of fallacies like false cause where the actual reason is false, hasty generalizations where drawing conclusions from only one cause that might not be appropriate, and red herring where the the conclusion is from irrelevant causes.
Jirapat Chirachanchai 6329002 (Section 1)
ReplyDeleteThe first video I watched was ‘Question of Fact’. The question of fact is about whether or not the statement is true or false, however, many questions in real life cannot be answered right or wrong. In a speech, the facts are used differently. For example, in the informative speech, the facts would be stated by the speaker in order to inform the audience, in contrast, in the persuasive speech, the facts are usually stated and later concluded in a certain way to guide the audience to be persuaded by the speaker’s point of view.
The second video I watched was ‘Question of Policy’. Basically, the question of policy is about whether a particular topic should be taken action or not. Moreover, there are two types of speech regarding the question of policy. One is the speech that aims to gain agreement, this type of speech aim only to persuade the audience so that they agree with the idea but not to make them take action (similar to Meechai’s speech about family planning), the other is the speech that aims to make the audience take actions (similar to Greta’s speech about climate change)
Chinnawat Thotsaphonphaisan 6329004 section 1
DeleteFrom the video “Question of Fact”, I have also learned that facts are used differently in informative speech and persuasive speech. In informative, facts aim to inform the audience. However, in persuasive speech, facts aim to persuade audience and make them see the same picture as the speaker.
Thidaporn Ratarsa 6329011 section 1
DeleteI agree with Jirapat that from the video 'Question of Fact', the purpose of the fact is different in an informative speech and a persuasive speech. In an informative speech it is to inform the audience. However, in a persuasive it is to persuade the audience and make the audience be persuaded by the speaker's point of view.
Chinnawat Thotsaphonphaisan 6329004 section 1
ReplyDeleteThe first video I watched was "Building Credibility". I have learned that there are two factors of how the speaker attain credibility from the audience. First is competence, the speaker's expertise and knowledge of the subject. And the second factor is character, the speaker's trustworthiness and sincerity. In order to build up credibility, there are several ways to do so. Firstly, explain your competence. Second, establishing common ground with the audience. Last, speaking with genuine conviction. By keeping these steps in mind, you are able to do an effective persuasive speech.
"Question of Fact" was the second video that I watched. The question of fact or the question about truth and falsity of an assertion sometimes can be answered immediately and sometimes it cannot. This is because sometimes we do know some facts about the question and sometimes we do not. The question of fact can be applied to the informative speech and persuasive speech. For example, in informative speech, the question of fact aims to inform the audience not to argue with any other concept. On the one hand, in persuasive speech, the question of fact aims to present one view of the facts as persuasively as possible.
Thidaporn Ratarsa 6329011 section 1
DeleteI agree with Chinnawat that from the video 'Question of Fact', I learnt that the purpose of the fact is different in an informative speech and a persuasive speech. In an informative speech, the purpose of the fact is to inform the audience. However, in a persuasive speech, the purpose of the fact is to persuade the audience and make the audience agree and see the same image and idea that the speaker has.
Varit Lerdmaneepha 6329023 Section 2
DeleteI agree with Chinnawat that building credibility is very important for persuasive speech and we should learn how to do so to make our speech effective.
Atikan Thangwatcharapong 6329026
ReplyDeleteFrom “Question of Fact” tutorial video, I learnt that the question of fact is a question about the truth or falsity of an assertion. Although the question is about the facts that have absolute answer, but some still cannot be answered, as we have not enough evidence to support the answer. For example, answers that rely on prediction such as economic growth. For persuasive speech, speaker acts as partisan, advocate, and present one view of the facts as persuasive as possible. Persuasive speech usually organized topically, divided into specific purpose, central idea, and main points.
From “Psychology of Persuasion”, in persuasive speech, we have to consider three majors aspects (listeners’ attitude, belief, and value). Also, there are 3 types of persuasive speech, agree, neutral, and disagree. In addition, process of persuasion involves the degree of persuasion from strongly opposed to strongly in favor. Lastly, how to overcome the challenges of persuasive speech, first is focusing on mental dialogue with listener and second is focusing on the target audience.

DeleteI agree with her that questions cannot be always answer with a simple answer so the question of facts can be used to help in persuading the audience into the speaker's point of view.
Anantaya L. 6329027 section 2
DeleteI agree with you on the first on the idea of how some question do not have an absolute answer to it. I think it is really nicely put through examples.
Phornrawin Wongkarnjanapanich 6329016 Section 1
ReplyDeleteAppealing to emotions
By adding emotions to our speeches, we appear to be more compelling. The three ways for generating emotional appeal includes using emotional language, developing vivid examples, and speaking with sincerity and conviction. The stronger a word is emotionally, the more desired effect it will produce. However, emotions rest in the audience, not merely on your words. We should keep in mind to not overuse emotionally-charged words, which might in turn cause a negative impact in our speech. By adding descriptive words into our speech, it would help audiences portray an image in their mind, enhancing the emotional appeal. When we use emotional appeal, make sure it’s ethically sound: be truthful in what you say, don’t replace evidence with emotional appeal, use reasoning to kindle emotions of audiences.
Questions of value
To answer questions regarding “value”, we incorporate our factual knowledge along with our moral values (its worth, rightness, and morality of an idea or action). Whenever we are giving a speech on a question of value, we should also provide special thoughts to the standards for our value judgment. By using this learning in my persuasive speech, the first main point in answering questions of value is to establish the standards of my value judgment. The second main point is to apply those standards to the subject of my speech.
Nanthasak Kanchanathipkhachorn 6329012
DeleteI agree with Phornrawin emotions can make our speech more compelling. By adding emotions through the usage of vivid language and speaking with conviction, the audience can be more easily persuaded or to convey. The stronger the emotions, the better the effect.
Napat Satitthummanit 6329006 Section 1
DeleteI agree with you that using too many emotionally-impact words can make the audience overwhelmed and reduce the word's actual meaning. Moreover, the speakers need to use emotional appeal in an ethically way to ensure that the audiences get proper information.
Sirada Sornchaitanasuk 6329024 (Section 2)
DeleteI think to put emotions to our speech is a key to get audience attention and understanding. I agree that the stronger the word is emotionally, the more desired effect it will produce. However, it is also true that we should not overuse it, otherwise it will give the opposite result.
6329005 Yanon Tangmanpuwadol section1
DeleteI agree that putting emotive language would largely enhance the audience’s attention as it would be easier for them to understand words through emotions. However, there are some limitations that we need to be aware because too much of these words could cause a negative impact to the understanding, and also the speech. Be sure to use it ethically and support it with reasonable explanations.
Thidaporn Ratarsa 6329011 Section 1
ReplyDeleteThe first video I watched is ‘Question of Fact’. The video is about whether the question is right or wrong. However, many questions in life cannot be answered by just right or wrong. The purpose of the facts that are used in an informative speech and persuasive speech is different. In an informative speech, the fact is used to inform the audience and give credibility. However, in a persuasive speech, the fact is used to guide the audience a certain way in order to persuade the audience to the speaker’s point of view.
The next video I watched ‘Question of Policy’. The question of policy is about whether a particular topic should be taken action or not. There are two types of speech in the question of policy. The first one is the speech that aims to get agreement. This type of speech is the type that only wants the audience to agree with the speaker, but not takes action. The other type is to not only agree but to also want the audience to take action.
Nanthasak Kanchanathipkhachorn 6329012
DeleteI agree with Thidaporn that many questions in life cannot be answered or determined with just a simple right or wrong. Speaker can use question of fact to help support their argument, convey and persuade their audience.
Pipatra Tirapairojana 6329019 Section 1
ReplyDeleteThe first video I watched was about ‘questions of value’. It is important to include our virtues alongside with the knowledge we have to the message we are trying to deliver. This is to allow our speech to have good notions between factual knowledge and the sense of morality. I believe it gives good dynamic towards the speech. For my persuasive speech, I plan to incorporate my viewpoints and ideas about the topic while applying those viewpoints to my speech. This is to answer the question of value to my speech.
The second video I watched was about building credibility towards the speech. In the video, competence and expertise of the speaker are the two main factors that improve a speaker’s credibility. Building credibility is very crucial in delivering a speech because it helps audience accept what the speaker says. So in my persuasive speech, I plan to improve credibility by incorporating researches and experience towards my speech.

ReplyDeleteQuestion of Facts
It is a question about the truth or falsity of an assertion which some are unable to answer and some are inconclusive. For persuasive speech, it is partisan. Speakers act as an advocate and to present one view of the facts as persuasive as possible.
Emotional Appealing
The key to persuading the audience is to make the audience part of the speech. Emotions are easier to understand for the audience so if we can make the audience into the speech it would be an easy way to persuade them.
Anantaya L. 6329027 section2
ReplyDeleteThe first video I have watched is the question of value by Jiang. In the video, he listed out the way we would normally bring the topic as the first part, then introduce the standard of value in relation to the upcoming context. It will be easier to draw the value and apply it to the context we are aiming for, instead of introduce our main goal first. This is about the question of worth and morality so it is better to keep thing more identifiable standard for the standard of value. It should have a specific purpose and central idea. We should also be aware of the fact that this is a standard, it is not a personal value or preference.
The second video I have watched is the idea of credibility by Stella. In the video, she explained 2 factors for credibility which are competences and characters. Competences are about the speaker’s ability, while characters are about the speaker’s sincerity to the audiences. Next, she also talk about 3 types of credibility: initial, derived, and terminal credibility. The initial is our first impression to the speaker. The credibility that is gained during our speech and how we deliver it is derived credits. Lastly, it is about how we end the whole things and what remain is our terminal credibility as a speaker. There’s also another important phrase that I personally uses in my daily life that is mentioned here as well. Generally, I would use it every times I have to speak for something. It is that you have to truly believe in it first, before you convince someone else. It’s quite surprising and relatable so it did left some impact when I’ve finished watching the video.
Palakorn Piyawannasuth 6329018 Section 1
ReplyDeleteIn the first video, I watched about appealing to emotions. So, first, she always gives the example to the topic and also adds more information to the topic to make it more clear. She also divides the topic explicitly, so the audience can follow what she was trying to say. There is also a 'keep in mind' for the audience. This will make the audience remember this part more from not putting anything to make it highlight. So, speaking emotional speech can make the speaker make a better persuasive speech. By using strong emotional powerful words can also enhance the speech. However, the speaker has to make sure that it is appropriate to the speech. In my speech, this technique can improve the speech by making the audience moving mind into my speech, so this will make my speech easier to persuade on any topic.
In the second video, I watched Psychology of Persuasion. She always gives a topic that has the information below. This can make the audience understand better of the speech if the speech is not clear. This is one of the ways that can improve my speech because sometimes the audience cannot follow my speech. Next, she said that we should put yourself in the audience and prepare the answer for the audience. And, the most important thing is to target your audience because this will make the speech even more effective. In some situations where there are too many kinds of audience, this can enhance the speech by narrowing down the topic, and it will make the speech even easier for both speaker and audience.
Sirada Sornchaitanasuk 6329024 (Section 2)
DeleteTo focus on the audiences as the first priority is very important. I agree with Palakorn that if we put ourselves in the audience and prepare the answer for them, it can help improving my speech and the understanding of my audiences. A good speech should concern about the audiences first, and this will help us to persuade them easier too.

ReplyDeleteBuilding Credibility
I really believe that one of the most important key for every speeches, especially for the persuasive speeches is the credibility. To be able to persuade someone, we have to make them believe the speaker first, then they will fully open their mind and listen our aspect in that topic. This Lucas video tutorial help to clarify the factors and types of credibility. And more importantly, it gives the tips to enhance credibility by firstly knowing my topic well enough to pass onto others, trying to relate that topic directly to ourselves and our audiences, and lastly using the words smartly to deliver. Furthermore, we have to practise until we really have full confidence, and that feeling will show out when we speak.
Questions of Fact
This tutorial video by Fern helps me to understand the differences between informative speech and persuasive speech. It is very easy to change our persuasive topic to informative, if we do not have strong enough standpoint. There are a lot of questions that need answers. In the informative speech we just aim to inform them the whole facts and let the audiences choose their side. However, in persuasive speech, we do not just inform the facts but we aim to lead them to our perspective of that question and make them believe in our answer.
6329005 Yanon Tangmanpuwadol section1
DeleteThough there are differences between informative and persuasive speech, persuasive speech can be easily misunderstood as the informative one if there is a lack of information and appealing points. I agree that we need to make the audience visualize the topic from our perspective to make them agree and be persuaded as it is the goal in this speech.
