Task: Critically analyse a famous speech and structurally compare it with a statement by the head of a company. Please be advised that for Assignment, you have to select any ONE letter/report/address in the annual report of your chosen company which may have been delivered by either the Chairman OR the CEO OR the Managing Director OR the President.
Suggested approach: The structures of the speech and the company head's statement should be comparatively analysed using one or more critical thinking tools and methods discussed in the lectures that are appropriately applicable to such a discourse analysis task. A structural comparison means you have to compare the two pieces in terms of how well each of them succeeded in their objectives of getting their respective messages through to the intended target audiences. Please be aware that a structural comparison of the two doesn't mean a comparison of their contents as the contents are inevitably expected to be quite different given their vastly different objectives and target audiences.
Suggested format:
1. Introduction
2. Analysis of famous speech
3. Analysis of statement by the company President/Chairperson/CEO/Managing Director
4. Structural comparison of speech and statement
5. Conclusion
6. References
Criteria for marking:
1. Understanding the respective objectives of the two pieces and their intended target audiences
2. Critical thinking tools and methods used in structural comparison of the two pieces
3. Overall flow of paper, style, within word limits and appropriate use of external references
