The tone of Ursula Von Der Leyen’s speech at the European Women on Boards’ Gender Diversity was informative and serious yet still not too authoritative. Her speech was very formal with a hint of optimism. She spoke professionally with an undertone of hope as she took to a future of gender diversity. Throughout the speech, Leyen used outside sources and statistics to back her points to show her audience that the information she is relaying to them is factually proven. Visually, the source was easy to navigate, paragraphs were separated, correct grammar and punctuation, and titles and subtitles were included. There were also imagery and color to stimulate her audience visually. The speech itself is about two minutes long but the article I found was approximately four hundred and eighty words long. Moreover, Leyen’s intended audience is men in high power positions, feminists, and people in general who want gender diversity in high-ranking positions. My conclusion of Leyen’s intended audience came from her continuous appeal to men on boards and major companies that could influence government decisions. However, some aspects of Leyen’s speech I would like to emulate in my writing are tone, writing style, format and data, and statistics. I would like the tone of my writing to be informative, formal, and somewhat authoritative. This means my writing would have to be persuasive and professional. I would also have to use proven facts to support my writing to seem more credible.

The key points I would like to teach my audience are the effects of racial and gender inequalities in STEM and how said inequalities affect young girls and even adults who currently have a career in STEM. I do not want to merely highlight the problem young girls and women faced while pursuing a career in STEM, I am to provide some sort of solution whether it is motivation or creating more inclusive STEM activities in and out of school that will influence them to pursue their aspired STEM career. I hope to inspire young girls and adults who have an interest in STEM to pursue their dreams despite the societal and gender norms. My intended audience is adults and teenagers specifically women and girls who are interested in STEM. So far, I have not narrowed down my possible genres for Unit 3. My options are an article and a short video. I chose an article or video because it is a direct way to get one’s message or purpose across to their intended audience. I plan to get started by looking at the correct way to write a successful article and how to make a video that appeals to my audience while getting my points clearly across. I would also read some articles to see what strategies the author used in their writing that I could possibly use in mine. Some concerns I have about finishing my project are reaching my intended audience while being relatable yet getting my message to my audience. Also using the right information to best educate my audience on the effects of racial and gender inequalities in STEM.
