Today in class we started out by talking about our speech and some of our tactics.  "Audience: who are these people? What do they believe? What are the circumstances for your speech?" and "Argument: What are you claiming? What evidence helps you to support your claims? What strategies/tactics will work on this audience?"  We talked about how both of these things are very important to have, you can't have one without the other.  Mr. Rivers suggested that if class time is not effective then you should work at home or make other arrangements to have control over your paper.  We then were allowed to work on our speech for the rest of class. I started off my speech about Sea World in saying I was an animal activist who witnessed the death of a trainer by a killer whale.  I am making it specific so I can argue to my audience why keeping these creatures in captivity is torture.  We will be working on this in class tomorrow and it will be due as of now on April 11th.
