You have research that was completed earlier in the quarter, but you might want to find some additional information/research to support the goal of this persuasive speech. You are required to use five different sources in your speech. We'll ta lk about how to best build argumentation for your speech in class, but to begin with you should roughly start mapping what content you will address in each part of Monroe's Motivated Sequence. A rough outline will start to accomplish something like this:
I. Introduction (Attention)
Attention getter
Reveal speech topic and relevance to audience
Motivate your audience's interest in your subject Tell them about the practical value of your information in their lives
Establish credibility to speak on the topic
Why should we listen to you? See tips below. Allude to any first-hand experience(s) you have had with your topic. Allude to sources of information you have consulted on your topic
Preview of main points to be addressed.
II. Need
Describe the problem or need you are addressing
Proof that this is a serious problem or need (draw about data/research)
How this problem impacts your life and the audience
Some people say this isn't really a problem (addressing counterpoints or objections)
Those objections are totally accurate, and here's why

111. Satisfaction-
Here's the solution to this problem:
Briefly state the belief, attitude, value, or behavior change you wish your audience to adopt.
Here's how the solution works:
Explain the details of your solution. Make sure that your proposal is understood.
Here's proof that this solution does work to solve the problem:
Show how your solution logically and adequately meets the needs as presented in the Need Step
Here's how some may object:
Address the claims of the opposition, and present your arguments against them. Forestall opposition to your proposal by overcoming any objections that might be raised

IV. Visualization
Picture how much worse off we'll be if we don't move to use on the solution:
As realistically as possible, describe the conditions if your solution is not carried out. Picture the audience feeling the bad effects or unpleasantness that the failure to effect your solution will produce
Picture how much better the world will be once we put the solution into place:
As realistically as possible, describe the conditions if your solution is carried out. Picture the listeners in that situation actually enjoying the safety, pleasure, or pride that your proposal will produce if accepted

V. Conclusion (Action)
Restate main points: briefly review the main points you covered in your speech. Call to action: specifically tell your audience what it is you want them to do now. Clinching/conclusive statement: somehow refer to your attention getter. Provide your audience with a reason to remember your speech.
In summary
Now that we've learned about propositions of policy and Monroe's Motivated Sequence, let's see how this all works together in a speech.
Your Post • Using what we've learned about topi c selection, share the topic you've selected fo r S11eech 3.
• Then, create a post that addresses the following: o What is your narrowed topic?
• What is your specific purpose statement for the topic?
• What is your proposition of policy for the topic?
o What question(s) do you have for your audience about your topic? (this is a great opportunity to do a little audience analysis to help you shape your content)
Response to Peer
• Find at least one peer's post to respond to. Please consider responding to someone who has not yet had a response.
• Create a response that addresses: o Is the topic as written narrowed enough for a 6-9 minute speech?
• What suggestions could you give on narrowing the topic?
o Answer their question(s) about their topic.
Instructions: 1. Make a copy (File - Make a COQY) or download (File - Download as) this worksheet 2. Complete all parts of this worksheet (proposition, attention, need, satisfaction, visualization, action ,
reflection) a. Hint: don't start in the attention step ... start with the parts you can answer easily, then think a
little more about the rest once you have those ideas out on the page. 3. Submit your completed worksheet to the assignment folder.
Proposition of Policy:
Attention
What would give your audience a reason to listen to this speech?
Need Describe the problem or need you are addressing:
