Step 1

I’ve posted three videos for you to view. As you consider what each speaker has to say, connect it with your task of public speaking. For this discussion, comment on something that you gained from each speaker. Tell which was your favorite and why. Two or three sentences about each speaker should be sufficient to address the topic adequately.
