Speech help? (1 Viewer)

[rsingh]

Hey guys,

I have a speech coming up for Eng. It will be on Frontline and related texts, and I need a little help to approach the question and how to set it out.

The question is,

"The truth is often distorted by the powerful for their own purposes"
How do the texts you have studied support this assertion?

I have to refer to 2 episodes of Frontline.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach this question, with a structure type thing?

You help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This is my basic hamburger theory that should get above average. meatburget is better except it takes so much longer to prepare.

Intro: (topping/teaser)

Discuss what your interpretation of The truth is often distorted by the powerful for their own purposes means. Then, state the episodes of Frontline which illustrate this. From memory, you can use Smaller fish to Fry as an example.

Body: (meat)

show examples in your text which illustrate this point, and EXPAND to other areas.. such as the creation of half truths and what happens as a result of these false information.
About 3 examples from each text or 2 detailed ones from each (I prefer the 2 detailed ones which expands rather than 3 totally different cases.)

End: (bread, something for them to chew at)
Conclude what your final judgment of the subject is and try to engage the audience to leave a lasting impression.

now, the hamburger will get you the content marks.
the meatburger.. will take much longer.. as said above.. it will need to LINK with everything! like totally flows on, i.e. Don't start a new example without leading into it etc... or have textual intergrety as you've studied in MOD B.

helped? or do you need more explaination?

Thanks, it did clarify a few things.

I was wondering you could give me the meatburger theory. I know it will be more difficult, but I'm preparing to put in the hard work.

Thanks anyway.
