2 29 March 24 April
The purpose of the persuasive speech
is to convince your audience to side with your opinion and adopt your plan.
Once you settle on a topic give it a title
frame and a thesis statement (a couple of sentences on what your persuasive
speech will be on) and hand up for next
class on Monday 22th March
Persuasive Speeches use
facts and research to support, analyse, and sell an opinion and plan. The
speaker tries to persuade the audience to believe something, do something, or
change their ways.
Examples would include:
Eating tofu Safety, Adopting New Laws, Nuclear safety in the playground and why
primary children should be allowed to carry low-yielding nukes to school, Gun
Safety, why cricket must be the number one sport in the States, lecturer
cloning, or Lobbying Strategies. These examples all demonstrate an attempt to
spread an opinion or adopt
a controversial action. Three or more
sources of research must be used (otherwise I will think you made it
up). i.e my information always comes from: http://www.whitehouse.org;
http://www.southparkstudios.com;
http://www.rense.com/ and http://www.davidicke.com/ so therefore I
know I have the best possible information.
