- Why is knowing your audience an important part of capturing and maintaining their attention?
- What cultural considerations do you need to take into account for your particular audience/topic?
- How are you going to keep the audience’s attention throughout the speech?

In place of the textbook citation, you will need to integrate and cite the video you selected as well as a scholarly source.
