Adaptation Plan used by Adam Parish for speech on Cyberbullying |
1 - Assess the Target Audience's initial attitude and background knowledge: My audience is composed of traditional-aged college students with varying majors & classes. Most appear to be from a similar socio-economic background. The initial attitude about bullying for most will be to agree with me that it's a bad thing. So I will try to get them to take action. My perception is that my audience knows about cyber-bullying but not the nuances of it. |
2- Organizational framework (aka "Persuasive Speech Patterns"): I will organize my speech using a problem-cause-solution framework because my audience already agreed that bullying is bad but may not know what they can and should do to help stop it. |
3 - Arguments (logos): I will demonstrate what widespread (breadth)and harmful (depth) effects are involved in cyberbulling and why it persists. Once I've convinced my audience, I will propose solutions that must be taken and cite specifically what we must do to help stop this horrible practice. |
4 - Building competence, credibility, and character (ethos): I will use credible sources to support my claims & cite them using oral footnotes. I will also offer personal stories to create goodwill & to establish my background in the area. |
5 - Creating and maintaining interest (pathos): I will involve my audience by appealing to several emotions, including guilt, sadness, relief, hope, and compassion. |
