Presentation of the Rhetorical Triangle

Imagine you have been asked to prepare a presentation on the Rhetorical Triangle for the following group of students:

Audience: Fifty students who have neither seen the classroom materials nor read the readings for this unit.

Topics: The rhetorical triangle, the speaker, the audience, the topic/setting

Hint: Rhetorical Triangle: The dynamic relationship among the speaker, the audience, and the topic/setting is known as the Rhetorical Triangle. The rhetorical triangle is comprised of three primary elements: the speaker, the audience, and the topic/setting. The shape and form of the rhetorical act or presentation is driven by these three primary elements.

The Speaker: The actual individual speaking

The Audience: Who will actually be attending in addition to those who may not be present but will be influenced by or have access to the content of the presentation

The Topic/Setting: Remember that the setting includes both the physical place and the social/cultural backdrop of the content and presentation.

Create a simple 5-6-slide PowerPoint presentation that will relay the key points to to this audience.
