Persuasive Speech
Persuasive Speech Ideas
These penguins are persuading their friends to take a dip in the cool water... but you can persuade our class on any of the following ideas or come up with one of your own.
Remember these are broad topics so make sure you narrow your area and choose your side so that you can properly defend your position.
Also I NEVER censor speech topics HOWEVER keep in mind I want the ideas fresh, some topics are very OVER DONE - for example:
"smoking is bad for you" - no kidding I think we would all agree with that.
"everyone should go to college" - DUH you are preaching to the choir.
"std's are bad you should protect yourself" - well there is a new idea.
"drinking and driving could kill you or someone you love" - again no one would argue with that logic.
So if you are going to pick a topic make sure you approach it in a fresh and exciting way - for example:
"Barbie is a good role model"
"Smoking Cigarettes are bad for you, so smoke cigars!"
