Persuasive Speaking! Pg 176-203
OMG--I so enjoyed those commererative and acceptance speeches! You guys were really entertaining, thanks to everyone who came out for that credit or no credit 25 points speech! Since there is no make up, those of you who missed should really cover all details of the persuasive speech to try and catch up. Email me any time for grade updates between now and the end of the semester! For this blog post a question you have about this assignment or this chapter in the book which you and your classmates can really benefit from. Extra credit for offering input to others who post constructively!
Below is a review of your persuasive handout for this next speech assignment:
Persuasion: p176 reminds us that persuasive speeches should influence attitudes beliefs or values and actions of others. Audience analysis is more important than ever! If you don't understand and know some one, how would you possibly influence them? Spend time reflecting on who your audience is...are there ways you can be inclusive and show respect to those who might feel differently than you on a subject you'd like to speak about?
p 177 reminds persuasive speakers to balance reason and emotion (logos and pathos)--In short, listeners must see that a topic matters in order to care about it, but the facts will drive the changes home! Review chapter 16 on description and emotion for stronger emotional appeals in this speech! On p 178 we see that credibility is more important when persuading as well--in addition to your introductory commentson credibility, you should refer to it during your body and conclusion as well! Also review Maslow on human needs to address your crowd with pinpoint accuracy! Back up claims with strong evidence! (P181). Understand facts, values and policies in terms of claims your speech will forward (p182).
In your closing comments, briefly address counterarguments or rebuttals. These are the primary nay-sayers against your attempt to persuade, found in the media or populus at large. In just a few sentences, acknowledge the other side and gently, gently, respectfully, discredit it by repeating your thesis and reviewing strong main points before ending your conclusion memorably! Avoid fallacies and be as organized as possible (186-187) . Also, it is important to stress and integrate 3 oral citations during the body of your speech, clearing signposting these moments with phrases such as "According to __________ in 2005, metal is really hard!"
