Midterm clarification

I wanted to offer a few ideas for possible concepts you may use in your analysis.

Perhaps you can see the evolution of complexity in the speech. For instance, if it is a political speech concerning the deficit. This content may be simple to complex is style.

Second, problem- solution organization. For instance, an environmental speech may focus on the depletion of the ozone and possible actions to resolve the issue.

Third, perhaps you recognize the transitions that are mentioned in the book such as; furthermore, next, following etc. Make sure if you choose this kind of concept, you use more than one instance of transitioning.

Fourth, maybe the speaker uses an analogy, example, anecdote or story, or illustration. This would be a good area to recognize.

Finally, maybe your discuss the oral citations the speaker uses when referencing sources they use to make their points.

I hope this helps to clarify the expectations. Make sure to write a paragraph for each concept you use.

Email me with any issues.
