persuasive skit
.Assigned for my class: _FALL 2013____
Sell It!
Due: ______________________
Purpose:
We are all familiar with commercials, sales, and marketing as a result of living in our highly competitive and capitalistic society. From being bombarded with everything from billboards, to clothing, TV commercials, and product placement, we have an innate sense of effective persuasion techniques. For this speech, you are going to give a persuasive speech somewhere in between impromptu and extemporaneous. Choose a household item to bring to class or a made up invention or service.
Using Monroe’s Motivated Sequence you will be selling the item for a purpose that is not it’s original intent. For example, if you bring in a broom, you could sell it as a mode of transportation. Covering each step of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence with one sentence will be enough to receive credit for the assignment, as long as you speak to the time limit of five minutes.
Requirements:
• You may sell a made up product or service, or bring one household item to class to sell
• You must sell the item for a purpose other than its original intent
• Your speech should cover the five steps of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence
• You will turn in an outline showing how you will follow each of the five steps of
Monroe’s Motivated Sequence
• In reference to time, you will speak no more than five minutes
• Be creative!
Criteria for Evaluation:
This assignment is a fun exercise in Monroe’s Motivated Sequence and effective persuasion. Each student will be given “five dollars” with which to buy a product. Each product is worth one dollar. At the end of the presentations, you will write the names of the sellers you feel are the most effective on your dollars. Everyone has the ability and possibility of getting up to five dollars. You cannot buy your own product, you must spend all of your money, and you can only buy a product once.
