Rhetorical Analysis

Rhetorical Analysis *(the instructions of teachers is followings: Please do not use too many difficult vocabularies, just satisfied professor's instruction and using good thesis. Personally I'm a international student, and not good at grammar and writing, so you can make some grammar deliberately.) Go on line and identify a Ted Talk Presentation or an on campus presentation or lecture that appeals to a personal, professional or academic interest of yours. The presentation must be at least 15 minutes in length. Identify the Speaker’s name, the date and title of the presentation. Watch the presentation carefully and answer the following questions. Does the speaker have an effectively crafted and presented well-organized, thesis-driven speech? Explain why or why not. Does the speaker present well-reasoned and appropriately supported oral arguments that are responsive to topic, purpose, audience, and occasion? Explain why or why not/ Does the speaker deliver her speech using an audience-centered, extemporaneous approach? Explain why or why not? Identify, define and apply 5 rhetorical concepts or principles discussed in class or in our course text to evaluate the effectiveness of the speech. Does the speaker demonstrate ethical and socially responsible public speaking, and to identify and evaluate ethical problems in public address? Provide 2 ways they do or do not. An “A” analysis is written in complete sentences, is grammatically correct, thorough and complete, and not only answers the questions, but demonstrates a strong knowledge of how the rhetorical principles of our class can be used to assess a public address, but also how the address could be improved to advance the goals of the speaker.
