What was the speaker’s desired response?

Length: 3-5 double-spaced pages with standard formatting (full pages) Assignment Goal: Students must observe a speech outside of class and evaluate the speech and speaker per the standards taught in the public speaking class. The speech may be viewed online (e.g. YouTube). Importantly, this paper is meant to be a critique and NOT a summary or synopsis of the speech. Students should refer to information from the speech they observe, but only to support arguments about the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the speaker’s communication choices. Further, students are expected to identify both elements of the speech that were good and those that needed improvement. The questions below should guide the students in their evaluations. Event Information Provide the following information in your introductory paragraph. Name of speaker Type of event Date and Place of event Analysis and Evaluation What was the speaker’s desired response? How do you know? What was the occasion for this speech? Did the speaker seem to consider this? What was the demographic and attitudinal make-up of the audience? What were the main points of the speech? How did you identify them? Was the introduction effective? Why or why not? Was the conclusion effective? Why or why not? What types of support were used? How effective were the speaker’s choices? What types of organizational strategies did the speaker use? Were they effective? How credible was the speaker? Describe and evaluate the speaker’s use of language. Describe and evaluate the speaker’s use of the voice. Describe and evaluate the speaker’s use of other elements of non-verbal delivery. If this speech was intended to be persuasive in nature, address the following: Describe and evaluate the speaker’s use of emotional appeals. Describe and evaluate the speaker’s use of evidence. Describe and evaluate the speaker’s reasoning. Were you persuaded? Why or why not? What difference does this make? Explain your overall reaction to the speech and event. What, if anything, can you try to incorporate into your own speaking?

What diagnostic images would you order? Provide your rationale. What are you trying to rule in or out?
