Description
Select and Narrow a TopicThe video microlecture explains the “Rhetorical Situation” and how to consider yourself (your own passions and expertise), your audience, and the occasion when determining an appropriate speech topic. You are also provided with suggestions for brainstorming. Keeping all of this in mind, complete the Select and Narrow a Topic assignment to help you begin your Demonstration Speech organizational process. Use the supplementary materials, as well as the template and the sample provided (to ensure that you use the correct language and organizational elements). This discussion also asks you to include a story/personal narrative that connects you to your speech topic. Narratives are powerful devices when used in public addresses; anytime you can share something personal with your audience you will ensure that your credibility will get a boost, and that you will be a more engaging speaker!
