This video is from the same woman as above, but this time she is talking about
conclusions. It is easy to understand and some students might find it easier
to watch a video than read an article online.

This would be an interesting video for students to watch because it will make
them see how some of their favorite movies actually show someone giving a
speech. It may encourage them to watch the movie just to see the speech.

This is a speech given by Michelle Obama. She has good connection with her
audience at the beginning and she use gesture effectively. Students should
also watch her poise (she seems to sway a bit too much).

This is a good speech from the movie Independence Day. The speaker is
effective because he uses a lot of pauses which has a good effect on the audience.

This is a speech to the class of 2008 at Carnegie Mellon University by Randy
Pausch. It is interesting to see him deliver a speech but it was his speech
writing was that stood out-- especially the line, “It is not the things we do
that we regret on our deathbed, it is the things we do not.”
