  9. New Word Alert!!! Hyperbole Exaggeration This is not the same as lying – but you are allowed to ‘stretch the truth’ a little bit

  10. Speaker – Audience relationship • Rule number 1 of public speaking is: • KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE • Rule number 2 of public speaking is • MAKE YOUR AUDIENCE LIKE/TRUST/BELIEVE IN YOU In other words – you need to talk the same language as your audience. What does that mean?

  11. The ‘ETHOS’ appeal Which of these celebrities has the best ETHOS appeal to a teenage audience? Why? Why is one of these men more popular than the other?

  12. The Power of ETHOS “German compatriots, my German workers, if today I am speaking to you and to millions of other German workers, I have a greater right to be doing this than anybody else. Once I stood amongst you. For four and a half years of war I was in your midst. And through diligence, learning – and,I have to say, hunger – I slowly worked my way up. Deep inside me, I always remained what I had been before” Hitler, Berlin 1933

My year 8s last year said I was hilarious! And I tend to agree with them! How does my introduction appeal to the audience? By the way I never taught year 8 last year…. But if I had taught them that’s what they would have said!
