Chapter 1 Response

   My speech craft role model would be Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde exhibits many qualities of a good speaker, which we have talked about. One thing I admire is how he rarely stutters over his words. He is clear and concise with what he is trying to say, which makes listening to him very easy and enjoyable. He also knows how to read his audience. Hyde understands that we are  all high school students that have short attention spans. With this knowledge, he makes his lessons very entertaining, which keeps us engaged. Hyde exhibits confidence when he is speaking, while making it known that he is very knowledgeable on the subjects he teaches.  In conclusion, Mr. Hyde is my speech craft role model because of his confidence, clear speaking, and ability to read the audience.
