Three of these storytellers are “professionals”, while two are just average people. Choose two of these videos to ANALYZE AND ASSESS using the following organizational structure: Analyze and assess the CONTENT (the story itself, what the anecdote is “about”, its meaning and purpose) —content strengths —content weaknesses analyze and assess the STYLE: (how the speaker organizes ideas and delivers the story, including voice expression and body language) —style strengths —style weaknesses NOW, CHOOSE TWO CATEGORIES BELOW, AND USE THOSE CATEGORY TO FOCUS YOUR NEXT TWO ACTIVITIES.
