Persuasive Presentation:

Topics Due: Friday, March 3 on Isidore

Full Sentence Preparation Outlines Due: Wednesday, March 22 (in class and on Isidore)

Speaking Outlines Due: Immediately Following Presentation (can be no longer than two pages and cannot include

any full sentences, unless directly quoting a source)

Presentation Days: Wednesday, March 22

Friday, March 24

Monday, March 27

Time Limit: 5 minutes long. There is a thirty (30) second grace period on either end of that time mark within which

you will not be penalized. For every thirty (30) second period outside of that grace period you will be penalized five

(5) points on your speech grade up to a maximum of thirty (30) points. For example, if your speech runs 4:29 then

you will have your grade for the presentation reduced by five (5) points, and if the speech goes 6:01 then you will be

penalized ten (10) points, and so on. The only official time is kept by the instructor and it begins the moment you

start speaking. The instructor can cut your presentation off in the interests of time, in which case you will receive a

time penalty as appropriate and no credit for portions of the presentation you did not complete

Source Requirement: For this speech you are required to use at least five (5) credible. If you fail to use the

appropriate number of acceptable sources you may be penalized twenty (20) points on your speech grade.

Additionally, using websites such as Wikipedia, About.com, AskJeeves, or other such online encyclopedias will

result in an automatic zero (0) for the speech grade. Finally, although encouraged, interviews, personal correspondence, atlases, dictionaries and encyclopedias do not count toward your total number of sources—though

they must be listed in the bibliography and properly cited within the outline.

Topic: In this presentation you will present and advocate for your position on an issue related to a question about

“community/service” to the class. You must make a coherent logical argument for why your position should be

adopted by the class.

Your topics must be submitted in the form of a specific purpose statement, not a phrase or title and must be

completed through Isidore. If they are not submitted on time then you will receive a five (5) point penalty on the

assignment grade for each day late. The purpose of this assignment is to begin our dialogue as a class by stating our

own perspectives on this complicated and controversial issue in a civil manner to each other.
