We've touched upon a variety of public speaking types in our lectures throughout this course. Pick one with which you are least familiar, and do some research on it. Can you give us a famous example of that type of speech? Now that you've identified and defined the speech type, can you think of an example from your life, that could now be classified as this category? Make sure you're conversing with your classmates as well - were there any similar findings amongst your peers? I look forward to this conversation!
