Persuasive Speech Assignment

Topic: Cell phone use while driving in Colorado

Purpose:

Effectively use persuasive techniques and research to persuade an audience to take specific action. Students will choose one of 2 speech formats: Problem-Solution or Monroe’s Motivated Sequence. ( I prefer Problem-solution formats)

Assignment:

Prepare and present a 6-8 minute (shoot for 7 minutes in practice) speech that takes a stance and attempts to persuade an audience to take action. Students will use persuasive appeals, practice effective methods of reasoning, propose solutions to problems, gather and effectively present research, and argue effectively within an audience that might be apathetic or opposed to the ideas presented in the speech. Students will use carefully prepared note cards and this speech will be recorded.

Speech must include:

  • Introduction, Body, Conclusion (the parts within these will depend upon which speech format is used)
  • 7 credible sources minimum, in-text and verbally cited
  • Visual aid – minimum of 3 content slides using PowerPoint, Prezi, or Google slides

Materials: index cards—no full-page outlines or sheets of paper while you speak.

Speech Outline: This speech will be written in full sentence OUTLINE format. Correct any formatting errors from Informative speech. Be sure to pay close attention to formatting and labels.

Visual aids: A PowerPoint or Prezi presentation of at least three (3) content slides (required). Other visual aids are at the student’s discretion, but cannot replace the presentation requirement.

Sources: This is a research speech and you must include and cite 7 credible source citations during your speech. Use at least 4 scholarly sources. Refer to chapters 7-8 for citing sources within your speech.

        • Citations in your outline must coincide with the verbal presentation, not just be on the works cited page.
  • Must be MLA cited correctly.
