In class we’ve been learning the elements of what makes a good speech. Persuading your audience, connecting to everyday occurrences,and throwing in a few rhetorical devices can all help you on your road to a successful speech, no matter what you’re talking about. At the end of the day, we all have different opinions on topics; not everyone is going to agree with your argument, and that’s fine, but you want to try and change every persons mind. Be believable and find evidence you can back up as well! Speeches are exciting because you never know what your opinion will be when the speaker is done talking.
Linked to this we have Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous speech, “I have a dream”. I feel it connects well with this subject considering if Mr. King did not plan, practice, and set this up perfectly, it would not have as big of an effect on us today. This speech is still talked about, which is amazing, and something we all should hope for when we give speeches, even if it’s just in a classroom with 30+ students.
