Question 1: Discuss the rhetorical situation of the speech. Identify and describe the following: speaker audience exigence. the event or occasion that prompted the speaker to speak methods and rules of communication. Speech typee and purpose, presentational constraints/affordances, subtextual norms

Question 2: Paraphrase the main claim.

Question 3: List at least three key premises in the line of reasoning. Each premise should be summarized in one sentence. Use bullet points to separate the sentences. (A premise is a claim that supports another claim. Think of premises as the points that back up the main claim.)

Question 4: Identify two places where the speaker uses appeals: a. identify the specific type of appeal b. explain how each appeal works to persuade the specific audience for the speech

Question 5:Identify two examples and/or pieces of evidence: a. identify the specific type of example and evidence b. explain how each example and evidence works to persuade the specific audience for the speech

Question 6: Identify hidden layers in the speech. Be sure to discuss unstated assumptions or premises made by the speaker. What values and beliefs does the author assume his/her audience will share? Do you believe the author is correct in this assumption?

Question 7: Identify the speaker's dominant rhetorical strategy. For example, if you think the speech emphasizes emotional appeal over other types of appeals, discuss that quality of the speech. Give examples.

Question 8: Finally, analyze the speaker's style and delivery. Describe the speaker's "vocal quality" (rate/volume/variety) and the speaker's "use of language"
