Speech Analysis

2-3 pages, double spaced, MLA

Objective: Using the DIE method to be discussed in video lecture, perform a speech analysis on a live (video recorded) speech. You will select a speech video online and provide the link to this video. The link should be provided at the end of your paper on a line separated from the essay. This paper should be well organized. Avoid using too few or too many concepts.

Remember: DESCRIBE, INTERPRET, EVALUATE

Analyzing a speech is more than talking about delivery. Be sure to talk about delivery, content, structure, organization, audience.

D- DESCRIBE …What IS GOING ON HERE? Who is speaking? Where are they? Who is the audience? What do they look like? What is the occasion? How are people dressed? Get as many descriptive details as possible here. This section should be more than a paragraph. The reader should be able to place themselves in the setting because of your thick description.

I-Interpret How do you interpret this speech? What is the speaker talking about? Why are they talking about it? What do you think the speech means? How do you interpret the message and speaker? In what ways are you connecting to the speech?

E-Evaluate Is it an overall good speech? What made it a good speech for you? How did the audience receive the speech? What was the purpose of the speech and did the speaker accomplish that? Using examples from the speech, show how the speaker used at least three concepts.

Think back to your English composition class. The paper should be well organized and written. There should be an introduction with thesis statement and a conclusion. Since this is a formal paper, this includes spelling, sentence structure, and grammar. Please adhere to page number. This should be in an academic format typed, double spaced.
