Audience Analysis #2 (for Persuasive Speech - 40 pts.) Purpose In general, your main objective for the Persuasive Speech assignment is to persuade the audience (your classmates) on an issue. Therefore, the Audience Analysis #2 paper provides an opportunity for you to analyze the audience and consider ways to construct your speech to better persuade the audience. This is a critical step in assembling a speech that is interesting, persuasive, and appropriate to your audience and speech context. Procedure 1. Consider the criteria for the Persuasive Speech and think of possible main arguments/theses for the speech that will allow you to fulfill these criteria. (Note: You should consider the questions below as you brainstorm.) 2. Decide on one main argument/thesis for the Persuasive Speech. 3. Consult the textbook (particularly Chapter 5: Audience and Publics) for assistance in answering the questions listed below. 4. Write your Audience Analysis #2 paper (at least 1 page, double-spaced) by answering the questions below. Questions 1) What does your current specific purpose statement look like (after revising based on feedback)? 2) What characteristics (e.g., age, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, socioeconomic status, ability status, political views, etc.), beliefs, attitudes, or values of the audience may be significant to consider when persuading them on this issue? Note: You may not know a lot about your audience, but it is likely quite diverse. Think about what characteristics, beliefs, attitudes, or values may be represented among your peers. 3) What ethical issues will you need to keep in mind when adapting your speech to the audience? If there are none, then explain why you think there are no ethical issues to consider. HINT: There are always ethical considerations to be made. If you aren't sure, then you need to ask (early). 4) How will your speech demonstrate appeals to ethos (Credibility and Goodwill), pathos (Emotional appeal), and logos (Claims, evidence, and reason)? Be specific.
