  1. Sound Devices and Composing an Effective Speech World Lit Ms. Logan

  2. Sound Devices • Alliteration • No one knocks this nation around! • Assonance • Evolution encourages apathy and ignorance. • Onomatopoeia • And the bombs burst in the air, smacking away any semblance of hope which remained. • Repetition • And I will say it again, as I said it before: Let freedom ring!

  3. Before you even begin… • What is your topic? • Brainstorm effectively and be specific; identify emotions that are tied to the ideas you plan to present so that you can manipulate them • Who is your audience? • Adults? Children? Teachers? Veterans? These will determine whether you use formal or informal language, as well as which types of allusions you will provide as fodder • How long does the speech need to be? • It usually takes someone around a minute to read a well-developed paragraph aloud

  4. Connotations and Denotations • Remember, not everyone has the same ideas as you. You will have to CONVINCE them that your ideas are fantastic and wonderful. • Propaganda- playing on emotions, rather than logic • It’s hard for people to both think critically and listen carefully, so long rambling sentences are generally discouraged.

  5. Tips • Get to the point. People will lose attention. • Use specific examples and reference them constantly. Generally, speech writers pick a motif, theme, or extended metaphor and shamelessly abuse it throughout the speech. • Read your speech aloud. Do all the sentences have “flow”? • Do all your ideas match? Transitions are pivotal when creating speeches!
