For my assignment i’m leaning more towards writing a speech instead of a letter. I feel like with my topic of mental health it’s best to write a speech because it’s easier to express my feelings freely without directly talking to someone. Although we are targeting outsiders of our discourse community I feel like a speech better helps free expression without having to bring up questions or proposals like in a letter and for that reason it makes a speech more powerful. The way I would outline it is by starting off with a scenario relating to my dc and its struggles to help the audience get a feel of what it’s like being in our shoes. From there since we already have the reader’s attention we can go on to explain more in depth the struggles we are facing and then provide some quotes to further back it up. I would also add some personal experiences and again give them a walkthrough it so they can fully immerse into the topic.
