  Transition: (Summary/Preview) CONCLUSION I. Restate Thesis: II. Closing Statementor Clincher: References (Your references will be in APA Style on a new page) TIME LIMIT: 6-8 minutes OBJECTIVES: 1. To persuade your audience on a proposition of policy; thus, convincing your audience that a specific course of action should be taken. 2. To use effective methods of persuasion: building credibility, using evidence, using logical reasoning, and appealing to emotions. 3.
• 4.
  To use effectivedelivery techniques, descriptive language techniques, audience analysis, and a variety of supporting material. INSTRUCTIONS: Your formal persuasive speech is designed to help you develop persuasive speech making skills. Your goal is to persuade your audience for or against a Question of Policy. Questions of Policy inevitably involve Questions of Fact and Questions of Value BUT Questions of Policy always go beyond both to decide whether something should or should not be done. In other words, Questions of Policy attempt to persuade an audience that a specific course of action should or should not be taken. You may seek either passive agreement or immediate action from the audience, both of which should include all three (3) basic issues of policy speeches – need, plan, and practicality. A variety of topics would be appropriate. For example, you might try to persuade us that same-sex marriage should be legalized, to agree that a security fence should be constructed along the US/Mexico border, to create a living will, to vote for a total ban on human cloning, that school districts should not allow soft-drink companies to stock their products in school vending machines, or that we should put an end to the violence on television. REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION CRITERIA: 1. You must have an audience of at least 6 people over the age of 16, including your camera operator. You should pan your

  audience before youbegin your speech, begin your speech without stopping or splicing the video, then pan the audience again at the conclusion of your speech. Failure to have less than the required 6 audience members will result in failing the assignment. 2. A visual aid is required for this presentation. Practice with your visual aid ahead of time so it will fit smoothly into your presentation. See Chapter 13 for types of visual aids you can use. 3. Your speech should be effectively organized following one of the organizational patterns discussed in Chapter 16 of your text, outlined following formal outline format, introduced and concluded. 4. Your speech should be supported with at least 6 pieces of supporting materials. Your examples, statistics, and quotations need to be cited in 1) your speech, 2) your speech outline, and 3) your bibliography. You must use a minimum of 3 DIFFERENT TYPES of sources, with a minimum of 4 total sources in your bibliography. Of these sources no more than 1 can be an interview. Be sure to cite the original source of information (a data base like Wikipedia or Ebscohost is NOT a source, but a compilation from many sources). WHO the source is and why they are qualified must be cited out loud in your speech, written into your Preparation Outline where the supporting material from the source occurs, and listed in your Bibliography/Works Cited list.

You should administer an audience analysis questionnaire in the Session 13 Discussion Board (with 2 fixed-alternative questions, 2 scale questions, and 2 open-ended questions – see text example on page 112) using Survey Monkey (www.surveymonkey.com). A tally of your survey results and typed paragraph describing what you did in developing the speech to adapt to your audience must accompany the outline (you can make them all in one document to attach to your speech in Connect). You should plan to mention your survey results in your speech. See supplemental handout – “Creating a Survey Monkey” in Session 8 OR under the Resources tab. 7.
