Happy Thursday! Please answer the following: • Name any famous speech & its speaker. • What makes a speech effective? Why? Speaker Audience Purpose
Oratorical Devices • Used in oral presentations (SPEECHES) & other PERSUASIVE writing/speaking situations • Makes the presentation MEMORABLE & EFFECTIVE • Makes it “STICK” • Focuses on the AUDIENCE & their REACTION
A Word about Speeches… The most common phobia that Americans have is glossophobia, the fear of public speaking. 75% of all Americans report having a fear of public speaking, beating out fear of spiders, fear of the dark and even fear of death • Know Your Audience • To woo audience members, you must do two things: • Find out what they want to hear, and • Figure out how to get that message across.
Logos, Pathos, & Ethos…oh my! The goal of argumentative writing is to persuade your audience that your ideas are valid, or more valid than someone else's. The Greek philosopher Aristotle divided the means of persuasion, appeals, into three categories--Ethos, Pathos, Logos. Yes, I am an old Greek dude…no, I am not Mr. Baker!
The Argument a discussion involving differing points of view; debate Also Known As: Position Stance
The Counter Argument contrary; in opposition. Also Known As: Rebuttal Concession
the repetition of a sentence structure for rhetorical effect Parallelism "New roads; new ruts."(G. K. Chesterton) "The more we do, the more we can do."(William Hazlitt) "They are laughing at me, not with me."(Bart Simpson, The Simpsons)
Rhetorical Question • It is not answered by the writer, • Its answer is obvious or obviously desired • It is used for effect & emphasis • "Can I ask a rhetorical question? Well, can I?"(Ambrose Bierce) • For if we lose the ability to perceive our faults, what is the good of living on? • --Marcus Aurelius In a hurry, pal?
Pregnant Pause… A pause that gives the impression that it will be followed by something significant. John took the microphone and asked Sarah to marry him. There was a pregnant pause while he, and the 3000-strong audience, waited for an answer.
Rhetorical Triangle: Ways to Persuade Speaker: The WHO Audience: To WHOM Still … NOT Mr. Baker! Purpose: The WHY Remember the rhetorical transaction…..good times

We are Marshall Identify & Label: Logos Pathos Ethos Pregnant Pause Rhetorical Question Parallelism
We are Marshall For those of you who may not know, this is the final resting place for six members of the 1970 Thundering Herd. The plane crash that took their lives was so severe, so absolute, that their bodies were unable to be identified. So they were buried here. Together. Six players. Six teammates. Six Sons of Marshall. This is our past, gentlemen. This is where we have been. This is how we got here. This is who we are. Today, I want to talk about our opponent this afternoon. They're bigger, faster, stronger, more experienced and on paper, they're just better. And they know it too. But I want to tell you something that they don't know. They don't know your heart. I do. I've seen it. You have shown it to me. You have shown this coaching staff, your teammates. You have shown yourselves just exactly who you are in here. When you take that field today, you've got to lay that heart on the line, men. From the souls of your feet, with every ounce of blood you've got in your body, lay it on the line until the final whistle blows. And if you do that, if you do that, we cannot lose.

Vince Lombardi: Winning is a Habit Identify & Label: Logos Pathos Ethos Pregnant Pause Rhetorical Question Parallelism Winning is not a sometime thing. You don't win once-in-a-while. You don't do things right once-in-a-while. You do them right all the time.Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game--but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be the first in anything we do and to win, and to win, and to win…
