Audience Adaptation Plan
1. Audience analysis: Almost all my audience is from university, and according to my interview to many college students, they really sleep very late. Thus, I think this situation is very serious and I want them to understand more about this issue.
2. Background knowledge: In fact, even though staying up is a common failing among college students, they all know that staying up is not good for health.
3. Creating and maintaining interest: I will start with two rhetorical questions to let them think to themselves. Moreover, I put some interesting and provoking pictures to attract my audience's attention.
4. Organization: I will begin with the definition of staying up, the introduction of the bad habit—staying up, the six main disadvantages of staying up, the supplements for staying up, and then the conclusion.
5. Building credibility: I found some studies from the Net, and I also did a little study myself—I asked fifty college students about their sleeping habit. I will mention and cite my sources during my speech.
6. Motivation: I strongly recommend my audience that staying up is a bad habit; try their best not to do it.
