Editor's Notes
- An informative speech simply conveys information to an audience
- A demonstrative speech occurs when the speaker demonstrates how to do something.
- A persuasive speech occurs when a speaker attempts to persuade the audience to believe as he/she does.
- The speaker gives a speech in order to entertain an audience.
- A persuasive speech contains and argument (an opinion supported by reasons).
- Every communication is essentially a trilateral relationship. Each point of the triangle influences the others, and all are influenced by the context of the communication. Each point of the triangle bears some responsibility for the success of the communication, The word ethical comes from the Greek, ethos. Ethos means credibility/believability. It relates to the speaker. Is the speaker trustworthy? Does the speaker have a good reputation? What is his/her tone or style of delivery? The word logical comes from the Greek, logos. It relates to the message of the speech. Does the speaker use sound reasoning to present his/her argument? Does the speaker support his/her argument with facts, figures, and logical information? The words sympathy and empathy come from the Greek, pathos. It relates to both the message and the audience. Does the message have an emotional impact? Does the message contain stories/info that evoke emotion? How does the audience feel during/after the speech? Are they changed?
- Malcolm X believed that during the Civil Rights Movement, African Americans should defend themselves with any means necessary. He scoffed at Dr. King’s peaceful approach to Civil Rights. Knowing his belief, why does he repeat “you bled” in this passage? Why does he emphasize this?
- Jimmy Carter was President before Ronald Reagan. During his administration the economy was terrible. Inflation went up to 18% and the unemployment rate rose. Gas prices skyrocketed as well. In addition, several Americans were taken hostage in Iran during his administration. (They were released the day he left the White House.) Based on this knowledge, what is the obvious answer to Reagan’s question? What will Reagan discuss in this speech?
- What two things are being compared in this analogy? What does this comparison mean?
- Why is this an exaggeration?
- On the next slides, number from 1 to 5 and write which type of rhetorical device is shown in the passage.
