Reviewing Our Speeches

1. Watch your speech from beginning to end to get a general idea of how it went

• How did the speech go overall?
• How was the volume of your voice?
• How was the tone of your voice?
• Did you use appropriate emphasis of certain words? (inflection, etc.)
• Did you use gestures?  How much?  Did they distract or add to your presentation?
• Did you establish the four components of ethos?  Which?  How? (You might need to check back in your notes for this one.)
• What is one thing that you want to focus on changing/improving for your next speech? (Your main focus)
• What is one thing that you want to focus on keeping the same/incorporating into your next speech that you did well here?

Audience Adaptations: Inaugural Addresses Link

Now that we have examined FDR's Inaugural Address together, it is time for your to consider how another president's speech is adapted for his audience.  Not only should you consider who is in attendance--which was largely the same, though began to reach more people once they started to be televised--you should consider the time period of the speech and how it is reflected in the speech content and diction (word choice).  The site will provide you with a little bit of background, but you may need to delve deeper.  Your output from this endeavor should be a marked-up copy of the speech and a half-page explanation of the main things that you discovered while looking at it (in relation to adapting for an audience).
