Discussion on Uses of Rhetoric in Student Made Speeches

So Today in class we had a discussion about the speeches that we all made about whatever topic we decided. So I apologize in advance for the lack of factual evidence due to my scarce note taking. Like I said, today was all about discussion and talking with group mates. We read through a couple of the students speeches and broke into our groups to discuss what rhetoric could be found in each of the speeches. And to go off on a tangent, all of these speeches were quite interesting. We read Ian's British Speech, Arianna's speech about babies at nap time, and Finns speech about a schizophrenic trying to reassure himself. All were piled with rhetoric that we were able to discuss, and in the entire period we only go through three. That shows how much we actually picked apart their writing. And by taking the time to do this, Mr. Rivers and Ms. Carroll are actually helping us become better writers. By learning by example we can see where some succeeded and where somethings failed, but can learn how to fix those failures and mimic those successes.
This whole experience from writing the speech to reading the speech and analyzing the speech all help us so much in the long run. By practicing this it will help us become better overall arguers because if we can argue about the most random thing we could think of, we could argue almost anything. This also helps our presentation skills because we had to read our speech to the class. And as always, helps increase our knowledge in rhetoric. These things combined will help us in the real world immensely. From convincing bosses to disputes with friends, mastering rhetoric will put us ahead. And even getting a basic rundown of what ahead, by learning it now, it helps us later down the line when this is just expected to be known.
