Persuasive Speech

Objectives:

The purpose of this assignment is to allow the student the opportunity to research, plan, and present a persuasive speech. The student will choose a specific side to a contentious topic. The student will then research that topic. The student will then choose an appropriate organizational scheme (Monroe's Motivated Sequence, etc..). After constructing the persuasive speech, the student will then proceed to present the information to their peers. This will allow a student to get hands on experience with the speech making process, as well as give them the experience of presenting and receiving feedback on their presentation.

Requirements:

Topic: Students will be allowed to chose their own topic, but as stated before only one topic per class. It is on a first come, first serve basis, so decide early. The topics of "Abortion", “The Death Penalty,”Texting and Driving”, and "Drinking and Driving" are off limits

Outline and Bibliography Students are required to turn in an outline of the speech and a bibliography for the speech. See chapter 9 of your textbook for outline guidelines. Both items should be in MLA format.

Peer Evaluations

Students will be required to complete a peer evaluation of each speech that a group member gives (including a self-evaluation). Peer evaluation forms are available for students to print out on iLearn. Students are responsible for bringing these forms with them to class. These forms are due at the end of class each day for each group member that gives a presentation. Late forms will not be graded but should be turned in to give the feedback to the presenter.

Visual Aids This speech requires students to use PowerPoint or a similar program to display their visual aids. Students must cite the pictures they use with "Taken by" and the creators name. The following is a list of slides that are required for the presentation:

· A title page with the student name and the title of the presentation

· Ending Slide

· Slides covering all sources

Time: Time is a very important concern. This speech is to be 5-7 minutes long. Points will be taken off if the presentation is under or over time. Practice will allow you to know how long the speech is, and give the student a sense of how they will perform.

Sources: Students should have five sources for this speech. The source should be cited in the speech when the material from them is used, not at the end of the speech after everything has been stated.

· When citing material the student should state the author and source when presenting the information, as well as on the outline, and on visual aids if the visual aids were partially or entirely created by someone other than the speaker. The specific web address, if a web address is used, can be shortened to make it easier to state ( www.whitehouse.gov instead of www.whitehouse.gov/12342/alt/8/~)

· Pictures should be cited on the Power Point slide show, as well as on the works cited page, but not out loud unless it adds to the presentation. This includes pictures, diagrams, quotes, paraphrases, etc...The student will need to provide the full work site on the work site page using either MLA, or APA. styles.

Speakers Notes: Students will be allowed 5 note cards. The speaker’s notes must be in outline form. Student’s notes will be checked before giving the presentation, and if they posses more than 5 note cards, they will lose their notes all together.

Question and Answer Session:

Students will need to be prepared to answer at least two serious questions regarding their presentation after they have finished their speech. Audience members will be expected to ask these questions.
