In the beginning of class today,Mr. Rivers went over how you nee to make the audience and the argument clear in the Final Speech. Questions to ask yourself about the audience are; Who are these people, what do they believe, and what are the circumstances of your speech? Also, questions to ask yourself about your argument are; what are you claiming, what evidence helps to support those claims, and what strategies/tactics will work on this argument?

Not only do you have to write the speech, but you also have to include an analysis for your audience to explain why you chose that audience and how you showed that in your argument. An explanation for three different rhetorical devices that you used in your speech will need to be included in this analysis to connect it back to how it the argument is effective for the audience.

Picking a specific audience can help you write an argument better because it helps you find different angles on covering a specific topic. Narrowing down to a specific group is important because you need to find ways for your argument to be effective and understood clearly. Different audiences require different styles of writing. For example; a college student would not be reading the same argument as an elementary student because they are more advanced. The audience needs to understand what you are trying to say and to be able to pick out the argument.
