When analyzing a speech, what should be your first step?
bija089 [108]

Q: When analyzing a speech, what should be your first step?

<em>Hey there! Thanks for posting a question on Brainly! </em>

<em />

<em>When analyzing a speech, you'd probably think "I should definitely determine who's speaking first".</em>

<em />

<em>Well, let me tell you something... that's not the first thing you should do. Name of the speaker can wait, but first you'll have to identify their main argument. What is it that they're talking about? What evidence do they have to back themselves up? </em>

<em />

<em>Once you identify the argument, the next steps would be to identify the speaker (A) and their personal biases (D). </em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helped you out!</em>

-/ The Writing Process is:
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Taking Notes and Planning.

Explanation:

This is a difficult question to answer because it varies per person but I would assume that it's the taking notes and planning process since this is where you would have to re-read the passages or articles and find which topics would be the best to talk about. Once this process is complete, the writing and revision would come naturally since you have already planned what you are going to write about.
