political speech

Research and critique a speech in this class of your own choosing and write an analysis of the speech (2 pages per speech). The final draft should be typed, double-spaced. A works cited section should be included at the end of each paper, following APA Format for all sources used. Many recent speeches (last 40 years or so) are available on YouTube. American Rhetoric (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. has a list of the top 100 speeches (mostly American speeches) with links to MP3 or text for many of them. Wikipedia (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. has a longer list, but no links to the speeches listed (you can use this list as a starting point, but would have to do the research to find the text or video of the speech).

The written analysis should include:

  • setting/purpose of speech
  • discussion of the speech’s strengths and weaknesses
  • rhetorical/stylistic devices
  • audience adaptation
  • analysis of 2 direct quotes

Please include a link to the speech in your report if it is available on the web.
