In order to plan for her class speech on the patriot act, beatriz passed around a brief questionnaire asking whether her classmates were for or against the act, and whether they thought parts of the act should change. based on what you know from the text, was this a good idea?

this is a good idea for her preparation of the class speech .

Explanation:

This idea is good so that she can avoid presenting a speech that will only reflect her ideas,personality and attitude which means a speech that is self centered.

This kind of speech will result to her audience getting bored and losing completely interest to her speech .

When one delivers a speech they need to know their audience and the preferences of their audience.

She must also know their attitude and any information that may tell her how they feel relating to the topic she will be delivering so that she can deliver an audience centered speech .

This will enable her to prepare a speech that is subjective and will speak to her audience rather than a speech that portrays only her ideas.
