Problem
One of the most controversial topics of the past couple of years focuses on Confederate names and monuments. There are very strong feelings on both sides. Please evaluate the following five areas after you watch the video: Mitch Landrieu Speech
• appropriateness for the occasion and the audience
• vocal quality
• body language and gestures
• "language" used (not just vocabulary, but personal examples, connections with the audience, the use of metaphors and similes, and other elements of verbal communication)
• persuasive strategies and their effectiveness (the use of ethos, pathos, and logos)
After responding to the above prompts, please also consider the following: What do you think was the main goal of the speaker? Do you think there were secondary goals? How well do you think the goals were achieved? What did you learn from this speech that might help you with your persuasive speech?
