Questions

1) How would you assess Yaconelli's verbal and nonverbal expressiveness during his reading of a secondary source? Does it make a difference that he holds the quote on loose paper rather than using the stand or holding the source book with both hands? Should he have handed out copies of the quote to the audience or read it from a PowerPoint or overhead projector instead? Explain.

2) Would it normally be a good idea for a speaker to read such a two-minute quotation?
