Persuasive Speech On Volunteering
Question #1: What did you do well?
The purpose of my persuasive speech was to influence the audience to be more involved in the community by volunteering. I felt that my speech was suitably organized with a sustainable attention getter, a clearly organized body and a storytelling conclusion. I started the speech by asking the audience, “Has anyone ever stopped to help you when you were in a time of need and want to pay it forward by making a difference in someone else’s life, then why not volunteer?” In the body of my speech I included a few community needs with statistics and how to get involved to help alleviate the problems. I used examples of getting involved through time or donations. I suggested giving time to local shelters by painting,
cleaning and general maintenance repairs. I mentioned that participating in a food drive is also a good way to get involved to help fight poverty in our community. I concluded with several examples of how my family and I have gotten involved in the community by volunteering. I shared personal stories that involved, Loaves & Fishes, March of Dimes and Harvest Hope. Throughout my speech I mention the sources that I referenced; Loaves & Fishes, Helpguide.org and writer Evelyn Beck with PTO Today. Overall, I felt that the delivery of my speech was clear and understandable.
Question #2: What could you improve?
After watching my presentation on video and reviewing your comments on the grading sheet, I agree with your comments that I need to improve on my eye contact and not depend on notes. I also need to slow it down and stay within the time frame that is allotted when presenting the information. I also need to work on using a little more enthusiasm when delivering my speeches. Question #3: What will you work on for your next speech?
For my next speech, I am going to work on slowing and meeting the time frame that is allotted. I am going to work on giving the audience more eye contact and depend less on notes. I also am going to work on using more enthusiasm when delivering my speech.
