Analyzing Inspirational Speeches

Explore the work of other speakers whose presentations are relevant to your own.

Log on to TEDTalks, YouTube or AmericanRhetoric.com or other sites and explore the speeches of three other presenters.

Submit an analytical essay of 1000-1500 words, which compares the three presentations/speeches in an integrated way and explains the influence and relationship between these inspirational speeches and your own.

The three speeches you choose to analyse may be relevant for a number of reasons.

-Theme

-Topic

-Style

-Technique

Fully explain the relevance of each selected inspirational speech to your own presentation.

Speeches must meet the following criteria:

One must be from the current calendar year.
One must be from a lesser-known speaker specific to your field.
None may be speeches studied on the course calendar.
Discuss what makes each speech successful, and also consider their less successful points.

Include a full title page, references page, and introduction, which must include the full name of each speaker, and the year s/he is speaking, as well as the title of the speech. (From then on, refer to your speakers by LAST NAME, not first name, as this is an academic setting).

Opening
The influence of age, culture, gender, roles and values in the context of these speeches.
