Homework: Persuasive Speech

Overview

You've crafted the Persuasive Proposition Speech Outline-yay! Now, it's time for you to use this outline, and the feedback you've been offered, to draft and present your 7-8 minute, video-recorded, Persuasive Proposition speech. This homework strictly builds from the Persuasive Proposition Outline homework; we encourage you to review the outline's homework details to further inform your work on this homework.

Prompt

Record yourself presenting a 7-8 minute persuasive proposition speech on an ethical, timely and contextually relevant topic addressing a public controversy and advocating for a perspective that you hope your audience will adopt. You want your audience to be moved to feel, believe, and/or do something, as a result of hearing your proposition. In addition to video-recording yourself giving your speech, this homework includes submitting a fully-drafted copy of your speech.

Expectations

By formulating a persuasive proposition speech on an ethical, timely and contextually relevant topic, you will be addressing a public controversy and advocating for a perspective that you hope your audience will adopt. Keeping in mind: if the issue isn't publicly controversial - if everyone agrees or if there are not multiple perspectives - you are not persuading; you're informing.

Preparing to Present your Speech

Description/Guidelines

Step I: Review the feedback given to you on your outline and thesis statement.

The outline is a guide to help you plan your presentation, but it does not represent the finished product. As you move forward with your planning, use grader feedback, and your own self-reflection, to adjust the homework as needed.

Step II: Draft your speech-critically considering constitutive, contextual and cultural (3C's) implications.

When developing your informative speech, ask yourself:

1. What content am I sharing?
2. What is my message?
3. What messages am I trying to avoid?
4. How might people react to and/or perceive what I'm sharing? Will some disagree? WIll some feel the same?
5. Who is my audience and what are their needs?
6. How can I best connect with those who are listening to me speak?
7. Where do I imagine I'm presenting this speech?
8. To whom am I addressing?
9. When and where is my speech occurring?

Step III: Practice ethical communication

Incorporate at least 2 credible sources to support your topic; be sure to cite these sources within your speech; give credit where credit is due.

Step IV: Develop a visual presentation aid with 7-10 slides.

Develop a slideshow (e.g. PPT, Slides, Prezi, Keynote, or the like) with any visual elements to support your purpose for speaking. Be sure to consider the following: content, unity, consistency, emphasis, focal point, visibility, tone, scale, proportion, and usability. Be prepared to use this visual while presenting your speech. Both you and the visual must be seen in the video recording of this presentation.

Step V: Focus on flow

A speech is a presentation that requires a carefully constructed beginning, middle, and end. Be sure to offer the audience an effective introduction, body, and conclusion, in speaking form. Use transitions to assist with the flow of your ideas.

Step VI: Make rhetorical considerations.

Your speech should be persuasive; thus, in order to persuade your audience, you must get them to believe you, and to believe in your proposition. Will you rely on your experiences? Logical data? Will you try to pull on your audience's emotional heartstrings? Incorporate rhetorical techniques-such as ethos, pathos and logos-to connect with your audience. (See course readings for more information on this.)

Step VII: Record yourself giving your 7-8 minute speech using your visual aid.

Be sure to utilize the following speaking techniques: storytelling, projection, enunciation, projection, pausing and pacing. While presenting, do not read your written speech: take time to practice, so that your speaking looks prepared but natural. Your recorded speech should include the following:

A clear photo ID at the beginning for proof of person.
You-at least your face-side-by-side with the deck/visual you have created.
You-using your deck/visual to enhance the speech you are presenting.
