Dilene Witt-Nelson Communication Course Name Professor Name 30 Nov 2025 Persuasive Outline Utilizing Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (Attention, Need, Satisfaction, Visualization, & Action) Operation Smile General Purpose: to persuade Specific Purpose: to persuade my class members to make the monetary contribution collected to Operation Smile. Central Idea: Today I will convince you of the extensive problems associated with children who have cleft lips and palates, address some of the ways that Operation Smile is satisfying this need, how our world will change if their mission continues to be supported, and what you have to do to help them achieve their goals. INTRODUCTION I. (Attention) Imagine if you will that you’re in the delivery room. Ladies, you are about to give birth, and gentlemen, you are there with your significant other awaiting the birth of your child. There’s anticipation and excitement. Then the baby is born. You know right away that something is wrong, even before you see your child because you see the expression on the doctor’s face change from shared excitement to one of concern. He then asks if you were aware of any problems with the baby prior to now. “No”, you reply. “why?” Then the doctor tells you that your baby was born with a cleft lip and palate. He explains, that the baby’s upper lip and roof of the mouth did not form properly during development. Finally, you’re allowed to see your baby but your heart sinks a little. You hear over the next few days of the surgeries that will be required to repair this birth defect. II. (Orienting Material) For me, this scenario was not imaginary, it was all too real. On September 15, 1993, I gave birth to my daughter Kyla and she was born with a unilateral cleft lip and palate. The only difference is that my husband was not there with me, no one familiar was. I was in the delivery room alone. The doctors and nurses were there of course, but they were strangers. My husband was in Alaska and my mother’s flight had not yet arrived from Houston. As you can well imagine, it was a devastating experience. But in many ways I feel very fortunate, which may sound strange to say, but it’s true. Because my husband is in the Navy, all of my daughter’s medical needs have been met. She has had three surgeries so far and has another major one coming up in a few years. Not all families whose children are born with a cleft lip and/or palate are this fortunate. The children have to grow up with it and the humiliation, selfesteem problems and medical issues that go along with it. Eleven of you in this class indicated that you know someone with a birth defect, and out of that eleven, seven required surgery to correct the defect. I feel strongly that the money we collected should be donated to Operation Smile, because of the wonderful way they touch the lives of children who would otherwise experience a life impacted by feelings of embarrassment and shame. Today we will convince you DeWitt-Nelson of the problems associated with children with cleft lips and palates, address some of the ways that Operation Smile is satisfying this need, how our world will change if their mission continues to be supported, and what you have to do to help them achieve their goals. BODY I. (Need) The problem we are facing is the numerous children born with cleft lips and palates, a birth defect that causes emotional and medical concerns. A. Impacts over 500 children in underdeveloped countries 1. Medical technology unavailable 2. Surgery unaffordable B. Causes emotional and medical concerns 1. Low self-esteem/shame and physical isolation 2. Medical problems a) Malnutrition b) Viral and bacterial infections c) Hearing and speech difficulties d) Breathing problems (Transition: Now that you know how extensive the problem is, let’s move on to how Operation Smile is meeting this need). II. (Satisfaction) The problem of cleft lips and palates is being addressed by Operation Smile A. Free surgeries 1. Administered in over twenty-one under-developed countries. 2. Conduct annual missions B. Medical training 1. Provides free training to doctors 2. Helps to set up health care centers C. Division of funds 1. 91% of funds go directly to operations 2. Every dollar leveraged into $5 in medical supplies (Transition: Now that we know the problem and what Operation Smile does to address the existing need, let’s look at what the world would be like if they continue to get the support they need and what would happen if their services were not available). III. (Visualization) Picture the joy brought into the lives of these children if Operation Smile continues to be supported, and the devastation that would occur if they are not. A. With financial support 1. Regain their self-esteem DeWitt-Nelson 2. Gain friends and acceptance of others 3. Provided with the opportunities for future relationships, career, etc. B. Without financial support 1. Remain in isolation/experiencing social stigma 2. Endure medical difficulties for a lifetime 3. Inability to train doctors in those countries CONCLUSION I. (Summary) In conclusion, I have elaborated for you the multiple problems faced by children with cleft lips/and /or palates, especially as they impact individuals in underdeveloped countries. You are well aware that the solution to this problem has been and can continue to be the Operation Smile organization, but not without continued monetary support. II. (Action) This is what a child looks like before the corrective surgery for cleft lip and palate. (Show slide). This is what that same child looks like after this all important surgery. Join with me and rejoice in seeing the joy coming from a child with a beautiful smile. This is my daughter Kyla. This picture was taken just a few months ago on September 15th to be exact. It was her 10th birthday isn’t that a great smile!! Wouldn’t you like to see other children be able to smile like that? I know I would. Please vote to give the money collected to Operation Smile. Make a difference in the lives of these children. Give children born with this horrible birth defect the ability and the reason to smile.
