3. First draft review
- does it fit together in a coherent, easy to follow argument?
- would that opening paragraph grab my attention?
- does it sound like a normal person talking to others?
- have I included a signal to the audience when the speech is drawing to an end?
- would I enjoy listening to this?
- would I stand up in front of an audience and deliver this?
- can I make it sound better by using more:
- lists of three
- repetition
- personal statements
- puzzles and solutions
- contrasts
- imagery
- questions
- alliterations, assonance, consonance
