Persuasive Speech notes

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when formatting your persuasive speech.

1. Make sure that your outline and therefore your speech is either inductive or deductive. (Yes, you have to turn in your outline prior to giving the speech. Highlight your main persuasive idea.)

2. I will be looking for examples of ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional appeal), and logos (logical reasoning) in your speech and outline. You will demonstrate these proofs in your content, posture/ appearance, and speaking.

3. Remember that persuading does not necessarily mean changing minds. Persuading can mean enhancing present ideas or perhaps introducing a new way to look at something. Remember: "Breakfast Club as a cultural film".

4. Practice your speech. Try to avoid the "ums" and "likes". Make sure that you capture your audience. Stay within the time limits of 4- 6 min. I will cut you off.

5. Make sure that you have an introduction and a conclusion. Everyone must have a powerpoint!!!

6. Lastly, KEEP IT CLEAN!!!! ANY INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE OR MATERIAL WILL BE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN AND FAILED!!!!!!!!!!

If there is anything else, I will post it later.

ATTENTION!!!!!

Attention Class:

There have been some changes to the schedule this week! Your papers are due today either electronically or in class. We will not have class on Wednesday! It will be used as an independent Speech workday!! We will not be watching movies in class, instead I will collect papers and briefly review the expectations for the persuasive speech and answer any questions you may have. I apologize for any inconveniences!! Also, I will not have office hours on Wednesday this week!!
