This morning, watch the following speeches. As you watch, notice how the speech establishes a claim or thesis. The development of the idea includes specific information or details that help support the thesis. Notice the use of humor--humans often listen better after laughing. Also, notice the use of anecdotes (short personal stories about a topic). Anecdotes are used to help create empathy or feeling between the speaker and the listener.
