PART 1 MODULE 4 overview "If a presenter knows the audience's resonant frequency and tunes to that, the audience will move."- Nancy Duarte The second presentation you will work on in SPCH 219 is your Persuasive Presentation. A persuasive presentation shares an idea with the audience for the purpose of convincing them to adopt that idea. In Module 4, you will begin building a strong foundation for your persuasive speech by brainstorming and defining a clear, persuasive topic.Step One - Brainstorm: Brainstorm a list of 10-20 possible persuasive speech topics. Set a timer for 5 minutes and generate as many topic ideas as you possibly can until you reach 10-20. Your goal is to generate as many ideas as you can! After completing your list, consider your audience's familiarity with these topics. Cross off any topics on the list that could be considered boring or stale to the audience. For example, it would likely be difficult to create a fresh, compelling presentation on topics such as the death penalty, violent video games, or the legalization of marijuana since audiences have heard these topics over and over again. After reviewing your list, highlight or underline your top three favorite topic choices. Step Two - Identifying a Topic: Now that you have three possible topics, answer the questions below. Be sure to answer all of these questions about each of your three persuasive topics.  What argument could you make about this topic? What do you already know about this topic? What is your personal experience with the topic? What is your audience's familiarity with this topic? Do they already know a lot about it? Is this new for them? What do experts say about this topic? Where can you find credible research on this topic? Submit Step Two to the Discussion Forum. Double-check to make sure you are posting answers to the above questions about all three of your topic choices - not just one topic choice.  Post your Persuasive Speech Topics by the 4th day of the module week. Proceed to the “Response Posts” section for detailed instructions on your response posts. Return to the Module 4 Discussion Forum throughout the week to engage in a dialogue with your classmates. View each classmate's top 3 persuasive speech topics. While you may respond to as many classmates as you'd like, two response posts are required by the end of the module week. Comment on the persuasive speech topic you like most and why. You may use your module readings, lessons, and videos in your response. Each response post should be 75-100 words. Please read these instructions for information on accessing the discussion rubric. PART 2 Module 5 "When audiences can see that you've prepared - that you care about their needs and value their time - they'll want to connect with you and support you, and you'll get people to adopt your ideas." - Nancy Duarte The most important way to show an audience that you value their time is to invest a lot of your own time into preparing for your Persuasive Presentation. Follow the instructions below to help you organize your persuasive presentation ideas. This preparation stage will allow your audience to best connect with your presentation and support your ideas. Proceed to the “Instructions” section for detailed instructions. Step One - Using Approved Topic: The first step to identifying a powerful persuasive speech topic is to solicit audience feedback. Check back to the Module 4 Discussion: Persuasive Speech Topics where you posted three possible persuasive speech topics. Which topic was approved by your instructor? Be sure to begin your Persuasive Presentation Outline by using the best fit topic for this assignment. Step Two - Audience Analysis: Answer the questions below about your approved topic: Why should the audience care about this topic? Why should your audience trust your argument about this topic? Why are you uniquely qualified to present this information to the audience? How would the audience benefit by adopting your view? Step Three - Research: Conduct some in-depth research on your approved topic. Find three potential credible sources of information. Provide the following information for all three sources. Title, author, date, and URL (if using a web source) for all three sources. Brief one-paragraph summary of source. How the source supports your argument. Where you might use the source in the body of your presentation. Step Four - Creating Your Outline: Develop your Persuasive Presentation Outline. This presentation will be 7-8 minutes. Remember that an outline is different from an essay. An outline uses bullet points and phrases versus complete sentences. Your outline should contain the following elements clearly labeled: Introduction Attention-getter/hook Persuasive argument Short preview of five main points to support your persuasive argument Body Five main points to support your persuasive argument  Support for each of these five main points in the form of research, statistics, personal story, examples, testimony, etc. Be sure to alternate between fact and story for each of your five main points to generate interest and engagement Conclusion Brief summary of five main points Restatement of persuasive argument Clincher or final thought
