How to Outline a Rhetorical Situation Speech

Discuss how you would complete an outline for your rhetorical situation speech.

Be sure to organize the body of the speech so that the pattern of the main points contributes to the persuasiveness of your argument. Typically, an analysis of the rhetorical situation for a speech begins with historical context and ends with the speech itself, but this is not necessary. Even so, it is part of the art of being a speaker to decide the most persuasive pattern for the remaining main points in the body of your speech.
