Why are clarity, rhythm, and vividness important in a speech? Briefly identify a topic and thesis and provide an example of how clarity, rhythm, and vividness might be used a speech.
What will be an ideal response?
- Clarity makes ideas easily understandable so the audience need not become distracted while trying to "figure things out."
- Rhythm helps listeners anticipate what is coming next and conveys a mood, improving listeners' understanding.
- Vividness adds interest and promotes understanding by presenting ideas in a way that promotes visualization.
- The answer should identify a thesis and provide an example of clarity, rhythm, and vividness that demonstrates a depth of understanding about how each is used. For example, to demonstrate vividness a speech on medical marijuana might describe in great detail the side effects of chemotherapy and then discuss how marijuana can relieve those side effects.
