Linking claims to evidence.

In your speech you will be using different arguements types in order to prove a solid an specific claim or thesis. In the different speeches presented in chapter 15, each of the speakers weigh on the pros and cons of institutionalized schooling and home schooling. In one of the videos, a girl named Dixie uses claims and reasoning made by other sources including some quotes from these authors to support her thesis that home school is better than regular. In contrast, Robert uses his personal experiences and valued sources to support his claim that home schooling is actually a burden on parents and actually less effective than school institution. He uses the reasoning of current issues and articles to prove that the quality of information cannot be matched by what the typical parent can give to children. Overall, both speakers use sound reasoning to support the main points that each person has set out. They both use a mix of inductive and deductive reasoning to support their thesis's. I would actually believe both of their arguments if they were presenting in front of me. They connected with their audience simply on a logos and ethos level. Their speeches are a prime example of what should be put forth in our final essay.
