Q: When analyzing a speech, what should be your first step?

Hey there! Thanks for posting a question on !

When analyzing a speech, you'd probably think "I should definitely determine who's speaking first".

Well, let me tell you something... that's not the first thing you should do. Name of the speaker can wait, but first you'll have to identify their main argument. What is it that they're talking about? What evidence do they have to back themselves up?

Once you identify the argument, the next steps would be to identify the speaker (A) and their personal biases (D).

Hope this helped you out!
