Techniques for speaking to diverse Audiences
This chapter is overall about how to target particular audiences, so I decided to address a few techniques that make it easier. One way to speak to a diverse audience is to find things that all the people you are speaking to have in common for example everyone likes cookies(well most). Make sure that you have credibility; which means being excited, friendly, and having experience, so for me I have been baking since I was three and I love it. Another thing is to include materials that will stand out to one particular group, but appeal to everyone, so in my case it will be using the ingredients to show how to make cookies. Last but not least use language everyone understands and do not ignore any audience member. Overall it is basic, but easy things to forget so I will try not to forget about you guys. Remember if you please your audience your speech will be successful!

I think your cookie idea can work for any speech your about to give. I know I would listen to someone who had me in mind and made me some sweets. About including your audience, this is my opinion, but I like to plan my speech with some expected feedback from the audience. So, when I'm making my cookies and talking about how I make them moist and delicious I like to expect to look up and see hungry faces. Imagining the audience when writing my speech helps me decide how my speech is going to sound and what the audience will like.
