According to Shockley-Zalabak (2009), communication competency is composed of
“knowledge, sensitivity, skills and values” (p. 5). Beebe, Beebe, and Redmond (2011) describe
communication within online social networks as a form of electronically mediated
communication. The communication within online social networks are a relatively recent

phenomenon and allow for exploration of topics ranging from self-disclosure, social influence
and word-of-mouth communication.
Word-of-mouth communication, social influence and persuasion create interesting
dynamics within face-to-face contexts and research into these interactions has been well
documented. The ways in which word-of-mouth communication may lead to social influence or
persuasion within an online social network has not been a focus of much research (Trusov,
Bucklin, & Koen, 2009). Additionally, Trusov et al. (2009) describe how online social networks
allow for tracking and documentation of word-of-mouth communication in ways not possible
before social networks.
Word-of-mouth communication can become part of the branding strategy of an
organization because it can help an organization become more recognized by the general public.
According to Shockley-Zalabak:
Commented [S15]: This section shows a source being cited
without being quoted. This means the other author’s ideas were
being considered during this writing but the author(s) were not
quoted in this passage. Note…multiple authors contributed to the
paper being cited so they are all listed the first time the source is
cited.
Commented [S16]: This is a citation for the same article as
above but because it is being cited a second time the full list of
authors is not mentioned. Only the first author’s name is
mentioned along with “et al.” and then the year of publication.
Commented [S17]: The standard font for an APA style paper is
Times New Roman at 12 point font.

Branding is the specific process of developing product or service identification that
distinguishes products or services from competitor organizations. Branding develops
product names and statements (sometimes in the form of slogans) about product or
service identity. Brands help create product or service identity necessary to increase sales
or usage and to generate customer loyalty. (p. 356)
Branding can help position a product or organization. For example, some products and firms try
present the image of wealth (Gass & Seiter, 2011) while others try to present an image of
“authenticity, which emphasizes genuineness and integrity” (Gass & Seiter, 2011, p. 53).
Commented [S18]: This type of quotation is called a block
quote and is formatted differently because it is a quotation of 40 or
more words. With a block quote the quote is indented and no
quotation marks are used. The page or pages are listed at the end
of the quote and the entire quote is double spaced (see page 171 of
the APA style manual, 6th edition).
Commented [S19]: Direction quotations of a source that are 40
words or more are formatted differently than quotes of less than 40
words. Quotes of 40 or more words are known as a block quote.
See pages 170-171 of the 6th edition of the APA style manual.
Commented [S20]: This type of citation is typically used when
the quotation appears at the end of a sentence.

Description
Our book gives a good summary of the purposes of persuasive speeches: “Persuasive speakers do not just want
us to understand their point of view; they want to influence our beliefs, values, and actions” (p. 144).
Additionally, our book notes: “Persuasion is more than telling listeners what they ought to do or
believe”…”Persuasion requires that we give our audience good reasons for accepting our claims” (Hogan,
Andrews, Andrews, & Williams, 2011, p. 144).
This assignment includes a written outline and a speech.
Here are some examples topics:
• We must stop texting while driving
• Taxes in the U.S. should be reduced
• Hydraulic fracturing is bad for the environment
• K-12 students should attend school year-round
Please note:
An outline cannot be turned in without the student making the speech and a speech cannot be done without
turning in an outline.
Outline Requirements
Outline must be typed and turned in prior to delivery of speech.
1. APA style Title page
2. Introduction with a “Specific purpose and thesis statement”
3. Clear main points (body of speech)

It is wise to practice the speech until it can be performed at 6 minutes, +/- thirty seconds.

I (Shayne) strongly suggest you chose a visual aid you can bring to class and use without any technology
assistance such as handouts, poster board or objects.
Please note, drawing on the board was fine for the demonstration and informative speeches but for the
persuasive speech a student would have to do an incredibly good job of using the board for it to be an
effective visual aid.
