The speech buddy videos started with how to identify the elements of argument. The following is as listed, thesis, claim, evidence and reasoning are all elements of a successful argument. With a clear thesis, the audience is able to prepare for anything that you are about to say, in the logical and chronicle order that you stated. I believe the strongest part of the arguments are evidence and claim. In order for the harder truth, one must do professional research from credible sources to have a claim to even be valid.
The first video intro'd with a question that allowed the audience to listen and answer accordingly to see that she was diving deeper into their ideas. Homeschooling was introduced as a safe and protected area for those who are exposed to violence that is experienced in public schools. This may seem a little pathos and a little mythos from our reading. Another is an appeal to the audience's past experience of how 8 straight hours of school actually affects how they feel about school. From the benefits of homeschool, one can spread it out in a comfortable pace. A lot of her arguments pertained to experience, opinion and ideas. The video that was against homeschool started off with more ideas and concrete views to allow the audience to focus to more facts that come after. Parents vs. Teachers is an argument that seems almost factual, that some teachers have gone to school to actually teach as opposed to a parent who might have learned from home.

Hello Crambosho! I am glad you found the videos helpful! How are you going to apply these ideas to your coming speech? You mentioned that you felt the strongest part of an argument are evidence and claims. What evidence and claims will you be using? Can you give me a specific example? :)
