Mediation in Speeches, Blog Entries, and Articles
This page covers the specific approaches for mediating content into speeches, blog entries, and articles, each with its unique style and requirements.
Speech Mediation
Speeches can range from neutral to formal, depending on the audience. Key elements include:
- Appropriate greetings based on the audience e.g.,"Welcomeladiesandgentlemen"
- Introduction of the speaker and topic
- A clear conclusion with an invitation for questions
Example: "Good morning members of group. My name is Name, and I'm here to discuss topic."
Blog Entry Mediation
Blog entries typically use informal to neutral language. They should:
- Start with casual greetings like "Hey guys!" or "Hi everyone!"
- Engage readers by inviting comments or opinions
- Close with a friendly sign-off
Highlight: Blog entries often end with an invitation for reader engagement, such as "Let me know what you think by posting a comment below this entry."
Article Mediation
Articles require a more formal approach and must include:
- A headline
- An introduction with a hook to interest readers
- A clear thesis statement
- A conclusion that summarizes key points and provides future perspectives
Definition: A thesis statement is a sentence that summarizes the main point or argument of an article or essay.
