Persuasive Speech
You will present a 6 to 8 minute persuasive speech using the Motivated Sequence format. This will be a persuasive speech to ACTUATE. This means you will give your audience a call to action. You cannot speak on a topic that is connected to your Informative speech.
After this speech you will engage your audience in a Q&A session that should last approximately 5 minutes. The Q&A session does not count as part of your speaking time. The purpose of the Q&A is to provide you an additional opportunity to persuade your audience and offer any additional information that you may have left out of your speech, or that you discovered while researching your topic.
Additionally, you must:
Include a total of 5 sources, 3 of which must be primary sources. Again, primary sources can come from books, academic journals, peer-reviewed sources, academic web-sites, etc.
Remember, these sources should be mentioned during your presentation – ALL 5 sources, as well as in your bibliography in order to get credit.
Use at least 3 visual aids, including a graph
Use Monroe's Motivated Sequence for your formal outline and APA Format for your Bibliography (12-pt font/double-spaced)
