What is my ethos? - The way I present my speech to the class.
How will I develop my credibility? - Through the stories and experiences I share with the class.
What are my weak points (both body language and content)? - Shaky voice.
How can I overcome these weak points? - I will practice a lot, slow down when speaking and take deep breaths during my pauses.
PATHOS
What emotional responses are appropriate given my speech content? - I will give a neutral expression while presenting with a more upbeat flow. The content I am telling is not so much sad nor funny.
How can I foster emotional connection? - Eye contact with audience as well as a steady and calm pace.
What emotions do I need to avoid? - While talking about my family I want to avoid a negative or sad emotion. Some of the content may come off as sad although I do not feel it to be that way.
LOGOS
What is my logical structure? - Flowing from each main topic while connecting them as I go.
