Message – The speaker’s main point On what topic is the speaker arguing? What is the speaker’s stance on this topic? Is the speaker’s claim valid?

Evidence – The speaker’s facts, figures, and anecdotes Are the speaker’s facts and figures reliable? Provable? Does the speaker rely on emotional appeals? What experience does the speaker have with this topic?

Logic – The speaker’s reasoning What inductive or deductive reasoning is used? Are any logical fallacies employed? How does logic (or its absence) impact the message?

Language – the speaker’s overall style How does the speaker use language to impact the message? Does the speaker use figurative language to strengthen the argument? How does it do that?
