Honors 11- Tuesday, November 29

Objective: What are soapsTONEs and how do I use them to write a speech?
1- Take Notes on SoapsTONEs-

• Speaker- who are you? What details do you reveal about yourself?
• Occasion- what's going on to prompt this speech--what is the speech in response to?
• Audience- characteristics of the group you are addressing? How can you relate to them? Why are you addressing them? Who is your primary audience--who are you actually addressing? Who else do you know is listening?
• Purpose- What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to persuade, inform, motivate?
• Subject- What are you talking about?
• Tone- What do you want your audience to feel? Choose appropriate words and phrases to enhance tone.
• Scope- what do you include AND WHAT DO YOU EXCLUDE FROM YOUR SPEECH? How focused on your subject are you? Should be narrow.

2- We read Queen Elizabeth's speech after Diana died and practiced as a class.

Homework: Find a speech of your own choice. Print it off, read and annotate it (this will be graded so do it well. Then, on a separate piece of paper, type up the soapstones for your speech. Each category should be more than one sentence; remember that you must dig deep and cover all the components of soapstones.

Also, if you were absent, part of your homework is to read the JK Rowling's speech and do the soapstones.
