Background: Aristotle on Persuasive Rhetoric
"Accordingly all men make use, more or less, of both;
for to a certain extent all men attempt to discuss statements
and to maintain them, to defend themselves and to attack others.
Ordinary people do this either at random or through practice and from
acquired habit. Both ways being possible, the subject can plainly be handled
systematically, for it is possible to inquire the reason why some speakers
succeed through practice and others spontaneously; and every one will
at once agree that such an inquiry is the function of an art.
"Peruse Historical Speeches from
The Masters of Oration: 35 Greatest Speeches of all Time




Decide which speech you would like to listen, read and respond to.
Choose ONE Speech.. Print and Actively Read the Speech !
This means you take notes while you read !
Some Speeches have options to LISTEN.. if Your chosen speech does
not have that option you can always look for it on you tube.
There are many old speeches on you tube.


PART II Answer the following questions based on an analysis
of the speech you have chosen.
Post your response in 3-4 paragraphs (This will count as a participation grade)



Q: Establish one primary reason for choosing this particular speech.
Explore the purpose of the speaker. Purpose of the speech?
Who did it impact and why?Create an analysis that discusses
how the speech impacted the hearts and minds of the audience.
Was the speech persuasive? Did you feel like you would defend one
side over another? Explain the value of two rhetorical skills (speaking skills)
we learned in class and how did the orator use them?
What did you like about the speech and why?


I suggest you type up your response in WORD first before publishing your
response on our class blog.
Be sure to proofread for grammar and spelling .

Actively Listen:  Take notes (in your notebook) while you listen/watch .
Think about his hook (introduction)? What makes him hook so relevant to that of her main points/purpose?
What is his thesis? Main idea of the speech?
How does he captivate the audience? What are his main points? How does he break them down and engage the audience.  How does Tony break main point down into parts and provide his  listeners with powerful and meaningful information?


Is he an extemporaneous speaker?

How does he answer questions about life and living? Provide at least 2 examples.
What is fulfillment? Failure? Happiness? Achievement?  What shapes us?  What does he say about Human Needs? Can you connect one need to any given example? Evaluate and discuss this concept in 2 paragraphs based on your understanding of life and NOW your knowledge based on listening to Robbins.
