chapter 14
In chapter fourteen it explained Monroe's motivational sequence, which is the parts to a persuasive speech. The first part is the attention. This is when you relate the topic to the audience in order to gain their attention. Therefore, make it relevant to them so they want to listen in more detail. Then you must show the need, which is the problem or harm. Then the satisfaction, which describes the solution to the problem. You must also give a visualization, giving somewhat of a story or visual on how the solution is beneficial, or of how if the problem is not fixed, what can happen in the long run. This is almost like a dramatization. Lastly is the action, this is where you tell the audience what they can do to help with the proposed problem. Each of these steps build from each other.

After reading from Chapter 14, we learned about Monroe's motivational sequence, the form of persuasion that we are required to use for our actuation speech. Oddly enough, the format of the speech is oddly familiar to those of every other type of essay and/or speech there is. I see that ways of persuasion, which you stated as attention, visualization and action. The way this is formatted though, it seems to work effectively. To put the audience in the seat of the speaker to grab a visualization of what the speaker's goals are. Hopefully we are able to implement the new ideas from the Monroe sequence to where we successfully persuade people.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the Monroe's motivational sequence is beneficial for Actuative speeches and for persuading people to do something. The speech goes through a pattern which allows presenters to relate the topic to the audience so that in the end the presenters can tell the audience what they can do to fix the problem in an effective way. Each step in Monroe’s motivational sequence builds of the previous step and with each step the audience has a greater understanding of the presenter’s topic and how it affects them. When used correctly I believe that Monroe’s motivational sequence can influence an audience to do something and take action.
ReplyDeleteHi there! I think that Monre's Motivational Sequence is a very pivotal thing for an actuative speech, after all, we are trying to persuade the audience. The sequence allows the speaker to speak about the topic and in the end letting the audience know how for example, how society can be
ReplyDeleteaffected if we keep or it keeps happening, depending on the topic of course. So you show the need, the satisfaction, and last but not least, the visualization. In my opinion, I think the visualization part is the most
pivotal of all because that is of course, what the speaker is trying to persuade his or her audience to do or not to do. :)
