1. He was a very good speaker because he acted like he was talking to each individual person by moving around and using hand and body gestures.


2.  His good characteristics as a speaker was that he had great voice, sounded confident in his speech, and made me believe to do become a better student. The bad part of his speech was the constant saying of "do you believe?", after awhile this got a little annoying. Another thing was that he was a kid, some adults probably couldn't get over the fact he was a fifth grader and payed more attention to that then his speech.


3. He emphasized certain words, but the best part was the words he didn't emphasize and let the audience react to it. 


4.  He used hand gestures to point to the crowd and act like he was speaking right to them and try to make a personal connection. He also did it sometimes to get the crowd enthused.


5. They selected him as a keynote speaker because he had great enthusiasm and excitement in his voice. He gave the emphasis and can do attitude and radiated that to the crowd. 


6.  He wanted his teachers, faculty members, and his students to believe in each other so they can succeed and achieve their very best in the educational world. It was an important message to help the next generation of students.


7.  I think they believed in his message and got inspired because you heard constant applause and cheers from the crowd. You could also tell from some of their facial expressions.




I thought his message was great. Teachers and students should be inspired to work hard every day and try to achieve their very best. Both should know that they believe in each other and want to help each other out. If I was a teacher it would of inspired me from the fact that a fifth grader could deliver a speech as stellar as that, I should be able to teach a class and make me believe in them, and make them believe in themselves. After that speech I'm sure the other teachers would of just as been excited and helped their students do better.
