Persuasive speech

 You may choose to change their mind on an issue, convince them to change a behavior, or convince them to act in support of something that perhaps they already believe in but don’t do anything about 

1. The Persuasive Speech must include 4 – 6 highly credible sources.    Sources must be verbally cited and included in your Works Cited.  Outlines must include the research selected (in text citations or written out oral footnotes).  Highly credible sources include official government websites, institutional sites that represent universities and respected organizations with specific expertise (e.g., Mayo Clinic). 

2. The outline for the speech will follow Monroe's Motivated Sequence. Be sure to watch the lectures and PowerPoints about Monroe's Motivated Sequence.

3.  PowerPoint is required for the Persuasive Speech.  If you decide to use a video, please keep the clip to 1 minute.  Pictures and graphs must be cited on the picture or graph.
