Motivational Speech- ReDONK!

For Tuesday:
We have adequately drilled down on the rhetorical formula for battle speeches.  So let's try making our own... with an ironic twist.  Here are your potential audiences:
  • Eating Contest (Ghost chili)
  • Scrapbooking conference
  • Pokemon tournament 
  • Toddler tee-ball
  • Shuffleboard match in retirement home (Emily R h/t)
  • Connect 4 (Jake W h/t)
  • Some other ironic situation.
Your first step is to brainstorm your audience's unique needs and consider the various metaphors and word choice (diction) that will activate their emotions.  

Requirements:  
  1. Pull exclusively from our list of appeals. 
  2. Consider which rhetorical devices from previous speeches will best fit this particular audience.
  3. Word Count-350- Roughly "Gettsburgh"
  4. Make me laugh






Unless you want to live in a van down by the river... Classic SNL skit!
