Persuasive Outline and Speech Presentation: Due in Dropbox (Outline) and on YouTube (Video) on or before TUESDAY, October 15, 2013 (11:50PM)
Assignment Details:
Purpose and Information:
The persuasive speech is deliberative. It employs emotion, credibility, and logic to convince an audience that a narrowly defined action is beneficial. The persuasive proposition (thesis) is generally supported by two to three main ideas which employ about two to three pieces of evidence each.
You will be using Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (p. 139-140 in the hard-copy textbook) to organize your speech. This organizational pattern focuses on the audience’s motivation and getting the audience to act. Following the steps in the sequence is absolutely necessary to fulfill the assignment requirements.
Requirements:
1. This is a problem-solution speech which means you must present a problem, discuss it, and provide a solution in the speech. Use the topic you proposed in your topic proposal and researched for your annotated bibliography assignment. However, if you feel the topic you used for those assignment doesn’t work, you can choose another. A full range of topics are available to you, but whatever you choose, make sure it is something that is within your personal range of interests and can be made interesting to your audience. In addition, make sure the topic is something for which you have enthusiasm and some knowledge. If you are having trouble thinking of a topic, try looking through these sites: Pro/Con: http://www.procon.org/ Balanced Politics: http://www.balancedpolitics.org/
2. This speech should be 6-8 minutes in length. You will deliver the speech extemporaneously, to a gathered audience. You should plan to use either 3"x 5" or 4"x 6" index cards as a guide while your speak. However, you should not write out the entire speech and read it word for word. Make the best use of your professional space, and use a PODIUM or other professional
