Imagine that you have been asked to speak at a pep rally for your high school’s football team on the day of a big game. you will be in front of the entire student body and will be tasked with celebrating the team’s past wins and the skills of the coach and players in a 5 - 10 minute presentation. list at least 4 of the characteristics of public speaking (ie. message, channel, noise, audience, context, and delivery) that you should be most concerned with in preparing for this speech and explain why.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The four of the characteristics of public speaking (ie. message, channel, noise, audience, context, and delivery) that you should be most concerned with in preparing for this speech would be:

1.- Confidence. You must show your confidence to the audience to be trustful.

2.- Be authentic. You don't need to pretend to be someone else. You have to be authentic and use your own style. People want to listen to you and no other person.

3.- Passion. Your message has to be full of passion. You studied and played for that school. You know what it's like to wear your alma mater colors in the uniform, and you know what it takes to win. Well, show it in your speech.

4.- Engage with your audiences using anecdotes. Have two o three good anecdotes for your 5 to 10 minutes speech. Have one serious anecdote, one funny and one passionate. People love to listen to anecdotes and it is a great way to connect.

alone =having no one else present.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
