Instructions: Write a three-paragraph response that compares your experience of reading the text independently with your experie
nce of seeing and hearing the speech as it is read aloud. Your comparison should focus specifically on the following questions:
• How does the meaning or message change when you read the speech vs. hearing and seeing it read aloud?
• Why do you think these changes in meaning or message occur?
• Which format is easier to understand? Explain your answer.
The meaning can be changed when you're reading independently because you're the one interpreting it and adding your own expressions. When someone else reads it aloud, they add their own expressions in it. They can get louder, softer, etc.
The format that is easier to understand is reading it independently. This is because you can read and stop easily without having to press pause.
