MRHidenstein Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 English A L&L SLHi, we have our WT and FOA due in a couple of weeks. I have decided to write about Language and Power. I was thinking of analyzing a speech for my WT and write in form of a article, and later presenting it to the class for the FOA. I am considering either analyzing Obamas victory speech in the 2012 elections or possibly making up what could have been Romneys victory speech if he would have won. I would like to know what you thing, i welcome all type of critic, positive or negative. I would like to know which topic you think fits the WT criteria/approach the best. How should i approach the topic and how i can improve?I thank you in beforehand. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my further oral activity in a group of two people. Me and my friend formed a discussion where i would support Obama's inauguration speech and my friend would support bush's inauguration speech and we would throw questions at each other, quoting from each other's speech and criticizing their viewpoints. I think something interactive would definitely bump up your points especially if you use some appropriate diction, that can definitely give you a 4 or even a 5 in language criteria.

I would like to know more about what an expert like you thinks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Brandén Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I would not advice to do your FOA on your WT.. if you want to go with the speech approach, change into a different kind of speech for example steve jobs speech at stanford which is built with a sense of humor.

MRHidenstein Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Why dont you think it would be a good idea to prepare a FOA on the same topic as my WT, when i already have the info. why do double the work? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
