Answers should include 4 characteristics with explanations, for example:
1. Noise - With such a large crowd and with the nature of the event (pep rally) there is the potential for a lot of noise interference from the crowd (shouting, cheering, noisy bleachers, etc.).
2. Delivery - The style of the presentation should be upbeat and exciting (it would not be a good idea to bore students at a pep rally).
3. Channel - Audio equipment will be necessary to be heard, visual aids (images of the team, the coach, etc., trophies, video clips from past games, etc.) would be very helpful, music or other audio clips, gestures and body language must be animated, etc.
4. Context - I should give careful thought to which moments from the team’s past are most important to include, what contributions by the coach are most worthy of celebration, what is the purpose of this presentation, etc.
5. Audience - I should consider what the expectations of my peers are, as well as the teachers, the administrators, the football team, etc.
6. Message - I will need to carefully plan the words I will use, the visual aids and/or gestures I will use, the music and/or audio clips I will play, etc.
