Editing Public Speaking (Summer 2019)/Advocacy Speech (section)

=== Make sure the argumentative elements work well together ===
In thinking about your argument, keep two items in mind: stock issues and congruency. So, we will use stock issues for getting at most of the arguments in the advocacy speech. It comes down to: what’s wrong and how can it be fixed (or what’s not wrong and why attempting to fix it is bad)? In an awareness raising situation, this gets to the core elements. Similarly, you need to make sure that the various elements of your argument work well together. We’ll spend a day on this in class, but the issue is: are your solutions truly (and clearly) solving for the problems you identified? Additionally, do the calls to action truly (and clearly) advance the solutions discussed?
