Dr. Read Montague best uses the III commandment: Thou Shalt Reveal THY Curiosity AND THY Passion.

Describes a topic that he works in everyday but still excites him.

Curious in the behavior of the mind.

DYNAMISM!!!!

WHY?

The reason for a 3.5 is even though Read is very calm and informative he keeps a serious tone the entire time. If he could get some laughs or put some personal experiences in his speech it would help keep the audience alive and interactive in a way that saying nothing still ensures Dr.Montague that his audience understands fully.

Nancy Duarte says: “ That your idea has to spread or it wont be effective, and the way ideas are conveyed the most effectively is through story.”

One of the tips that Dr. Read Montague is telling a story through his topic. Read is able to his audiences to sit there in interest and have emotional reactions

to his speech.

personal, calm approach.
