Response to Alex Rigsby’s post – How to make Kool-Aid

After watching Lori’s demonstration speech on how to make Kool-Aid, it really made me thirsty.  I went out and bought some Kool-Aid just because it sounded so good.  This speech could definitely pass for a persuasive speech too!  Like Alex said, her introduction was very catchy.  She states the steps to the perfect Kool-Aid recipe and explains what ingredients and supplies you need.
Alex states the good points of Lori’s speech such as the hand gestures and the upbeat presentation.  I agree with this.  She has a great personality and makes me want to make Kool-Aid.  She paused while she looked at her note cards, and did indeed talk fast at times.  The speech was also just long enough to get her point across, yet short enough to keep us interested. 
The part where she used her hand to stir the Kool-Aid made me laugh.  The first thought that popped into my head was, “Good thing she washed her hands before she did that.”  J Like Alex said, she definitely surprised the audience with her actions.  I think this is a good quality of her speech because it kept people interested.  Even though the majority of people know how to make Kool-Aid, she did her own thing to spice it up a little bit. 
One of the things I didn’t like that isn’t really important was the way she dressed.  She looked like she just got done working at ShopKo with the tan pants and navy shirt.  I guess at least she didn’t wear jeans.  She was also a little quiet at times.  Overall, I agree with Alex in the fact that she demonstrated how to make Kool-Aid very well.
