Instructions

For this assignment, please prepare and deliver a  7 to 10-minute persuasive speech with accompanying  visual aids. Here are some guidelines to follow for your project:

· Choose an appropriate topic for a persuasive speech. We recommend choosing a topic you're familiar with and that can comfortably fill a 7 to 10-minute time period. Remember that the  purpose of a persuasive speech is to attempt to convince your audience of your viewpoint on a topic.

· Choose appropriate visual aids that would work best for your presentation, such as slideshows, poster boards, demonstrations, etc. If you choose to do a slideshow, please use PowerPoint or a suitable alternative (such as Google Slides).

· Record yourself delivering your speech using a camera and save the recording. (Your computer webcam should work just fine.) Make sure you set up the recording to capture your gestures and expressions.

· You may refer to notes or index cards during the speech; however, please be sure to maintain eye contact with the camera.

You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use  at least 2 external sources. All sources should be cited using APA format.

Formatting

Please write your project in APA format and submit it as the following:

· Oral presentation video as a link to your cloud storage, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive, containing your work. Please ensure the privacy settings allow access. For example, if you're using Google Drive, make sure the file is set to 'anyone with the link can view'.

· Additional visual aids (e.g., slideshows as a PowerPoint or Google Slides file) if applicable

· A works cited page as a Word or Google Doc
