(5) Please reference the paragraph numbers, i.e., “The introduction consists of paragraphs 1-2, the body consists of paragraphs 3-20, and the conclusion consists of paragraphs 21-25” (obviously this is just an example and not the correct answer[Symbol]) 7. Please list the key elements of a good public speaking introduction. (5) Then indicate if and how this introduction fulfilled each of these functions. (5) 8.

(5) Which Test of Evidence (from BlackBoard handout on debate) does it fail? (5) 9.

The final question is to rewrite the introduction of this speech for a present-day audience at Rio Hondo College in Whittier, California. Assume that you are yourself giving this speech so you will not discuss your experience at the Human Society (unless you have experience there). You cannot use the writer’s “imagine this” scenario. You need a new “angle” on this topic in order to write this introduction. Lastly, you need to come up with your own main points to prove this argument. Be sure that your new introduction fulfills all of the requirements of a good introduction as you learned in class. Be creative and logical. (30) Speech on Puppy Mills 1. Imagine this: A little girl and her mother leave Target with several shopping bags. The girl is very bored after spending hours watching her mother shop for grown up things and being told she couldn’t have this or that. But then, the she sees the shop next to Target, and her eyes light up. Ok, so it’s not a candy store or a Build-a-Bear Workshop. But it’s the next best thing that’s right: a pet store. And today, they have a litter of Golden Retriever puppies displayed in the window. Instantly the girl’s boredom vanishes, and she begs her mom to go inside the store. Once inside, one of the energetic puppies jumps up against the glass walls and looks up at them with such innocent, sweet eyes. The mother and daughter fall in love with him immediately. And soon, they walk out of the store with another purchase. Actually, this isn’t very hard to imagine. In fact, this is an all-too- common occurrence. ....................................................................continued........................................................................
