Purpose Look at the things you circled in each section: Is this what you want your audience to understand/know about you? Is this the impression you want them to leave with? If your answer is “no,” you need to re-evaluate what you’ve chosen to include

Language Register Check Are you staying in formal register? Look back at notes to check. Use a pen or a pencil to circle any register drops and write “register” next to these circled areas. You may use personal pronouns like “I,” “me,” “my,” “we,” “us,” and “our.” Absolutely no “you” or “your” Use Control+F to find all the “you”s and “your”s

Audience Awareness Have you said anything that may alienate your audience? Insulted your audience Used inappropriate language Anything else that may be questionable? If you have, you will need to change it
