Write a essay describing why oceans should be getting explored instead of space.
The Cost of Exploration:
A Research and Speech Project
Compose a speech that explains to a critical audience how you, as a member of Congress, have decided to allocate $3 billion for either oceanic or space exploration.
SPEAKER
You are a member of Congress who sits on the Budget Committee. As the speaker, you have to position yourself as knowledgeable, fair, and believable.
AUDIENCE
You will be speaking to an audience that is at least neutral about your decision but they might also be opposed to your position.
Select one of the following to serve as your audience:
• Other members of the Budget Committee who disagree with your decision;
• Constituents (voters) in the area that you represent who disagree with your decision;
• A group of oceanographers at NOAA (if you opt to spend the money on space exploration);
• A group of space researchers and explorers at NASA (if you opt to spend the money on ocean exploration)
What are the shared concerns, values, and beliefs of the audience? How can you appeal to the audience’s reason, imagination, or sense of
what is good or right for society?
How do you get them to care about your message
