Persuasive Speech



Persuasive Speech

Speaking Time: 7-9 Minutes
Source Requirement: 5 Sources
Citation Style: APA

In this speech, students are asked to proscribe a solution to their current event topic. Students should feel free to use any of the formats covered in class, or if they may invent their own. Students will be again required to produce two outlines: a preparation outline, which will be due November 27. Remember, this outline should have full sentences, transition statements, and a work cited page. Please consult your lecture notes, the book, and this blog, for extra guidance in constructing the preparation outline. The revision of the outline will be due on the first day of speeches, November 29. The second outline is the speaking outline. This document serves to prompt the speaker's memory and helps he or she through the speech. It should not have any full sentences. The only exception to this rule is if you are citing a piece of evidence. The speaking outline will be turned in after you speak. In addition, STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO BRING A FLASH DRIVE WITH THEM WHEN THEY SPEAK. We will be recording the persuasive speeches.
