Cultural Memory study & Context connections

Read these three articles about cultural memory and take notes using this doc.:
1.  Read "The Cultural Memory" and take notes on what it is and why it is important.
2.  Read "Cultural Memory: The link between past, present, and future" and take notes on the various ways that cultural memory affects and is reflective of a society and time period.
3.  Read "How to Preserve Cultural Memory in the Digital Age" and take notes on how cultural memory is a part of our world today and the challenges that go along with preserving it effectively.

Next, to study how context and cultural memory are linked, please read your assigned context speech DUE BY THURSDAY.  Each speech has been chosen because it is representative of some aspect of the times and a reflection of the culture in which it was delivered.

Before reading, consider the date and occasion of the speech, in order to determine the context and contextual relevance for the intended audience.  Also, take time to learn more about your speaker and why his/her words would hold relevance and importance in this to this audience.

While reading, apply the rhetorical triangle and take note of:

• how the speaker looks to connect with his/her audience
• the ways that he/she uses to appeal to the audience

After reading:  Once you have read your speech, you will be working with the other student(s) who read this speech to analyze it and create a short presentation about the speech to share with others.  Please use THIS DOC as a guide to this discussion and creating your pres.-- we will present to each other on Monday, 10/15.
