For the purpose of this discussion board identify a leader who demonstrates qualities or values that you believe are effective or admire. When asked to relate the question to a leader, use the leader you have chosen

Why do you think being audience-centered in a speech is important? As it relates to your chosen leader, analyze how the demographic, psychological, and situational factors might make a difference. Address all three factors. This may take several paragraphs.

As it relates to your chosen leader, assuming your audience is the average working student college classroom, how would you customize your speech to your audience?

Develop a general purpose and a specific purpose for a speech on your chosen leader. What might your main points be? These do not have to be in paragraph form. I recommend a list format.

Now navigate to the internet and locate one source regarding your chosen leader (if you have trouble finding information on your leader, you can find information on the qualities of a good leader and apply them to your leader.) Cite the source in MLA format. Then evaluate the source based on the six internet evaluation methods in your textbook.

Finally, support for a speech makes it come alive, identify an example of a definition, an analogy, and a statistic. Provide your example. Then for EACH example explain what you would need to do in your speech to use this material effectively (or explain why it is already effective). List and explanation format is acceptable for this discussion.
