You will choose to view either a political speech or a televised editorial. While you watch the speech, make notes about the speech’s content, the speaker’s delivery, and the non-verbal gestures he or she makes, on the Speech Analysis Worksheet. If you miss some of the categories on the first viewing, re-watch the speech and try to pay closer attention to more subtle details.
You may choose to watch a speech on television or find one online to view. Below are some sites where you can find a variety of political speeches.
