Answer 2

Answer: The reason she writes the speech is to encourage thoughtful reflection, while the reason for her essay is to encourage a larger audience to do the same.

This is an essay about the process of writing a speech. This means that the author is sending a message through two different modes of communication. The author explains that the reason she wrote the speech was to congratulate teachers and families, but more importantly, to encourage reflection ("I wondered how best to create an occasion for reflection"). On the other hand, the reason she is writing the essay is to share the experience. In this way, she is hoping she can encourage this reflection in a larger audience.
