Speech to Be Reviewed: A sample student speech is available in the “Speech Analysis

In order to keep your paper organized and focused, please discuss the following areas:
Speech Introduction: Was the introduction effective? What device did the speaker use
to get the audience’s attention? Was there a clear preview of his/her main points of the
speech? How did the speaker establish credibility?
Body and Signposts: Was the body well developed and clear? What was the transition
from the introduction to the body? What were the main points of his/her speech? Did the
speaker cite sources in their speech, if so what were the sources? What signposts were
present?
Speech conclusion: Was the conclusion effective? How did the speaker indicate they
were finishing their speech? Did the speaker recap their main points?
