    ACTIVITIES<\/h3>\r\n
      \r\n\t
    1. If you know who your audience will be prior to speaking, try performing a demographic analysis. You may want to find out data, such as age, group affiliation, sex, socio-economic status, marital status, etc. Once you\u2019ve done that, see if any of that information can impact any aspects of your speech. If it does, then determine how and why it impacts your speech.<\/li>\r\n\t
    2. Another survey to conduct is an attitudinal survey. If you are delivering a persuasive speech, you\u2019ll want to know what your audience thinks about your topic. Audience members who have opinions about things generally have a self-interest in it; that is why they are interested in what you have to say. Perform a Likert-type survey analysis to help you determine how best to create your speech.<\/li>\r\n\t
    3. As you know, a person\u2019s values are the most difficult for any speaker to change. You can perform a values survey to determine how difficult it will be to change the minds of your audience. Every persuasive speech addresses some value or values. Take a position, such as \u201cconsuming horse meat as an alternative to beef,\u201d and ask potential audience members how they feel about eating horse meat\u2014why and why not. By conducting a hypothetical survey you begin to understand how to create an effective survey and why it is so important to the speaker to conduct.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
