Hey Gang! Happy Holiday! Great speeches on information this past week! Wow! This blog will earn you double credit as part of the assignment instead of coming to class on WED 11/24. Persuasive speech holds power because it is a means of changing attitudes, beliefs and/or values!
DETAILS
On December 1st, Nancy, Bev, Erik, Navpreet, Brittany, Giavanna, Mark, Nayyar, Romila, Jeremy, Vera and Annalise will make their persuasive speeches. The class on the 3rd will be everyone else's turn to make their persuasive speeches, with Tracie going last because she always has to "go first!" (wink) If you don't go when you are scheduled on the first night, you will drop one grade on your speech fyi.
2 copies of a complete class-sanctioned outline, typed
3 visual aids
3 research oral citations--Paraphrased or quoted
Full References section at the end of your outline
BLOG TASK
Post your persuasive topics here and I will either approve or make suggestions as we go--be sure to read other posts and make sure you aren't taking a topic that someone else already posted! LIst your topic and a good working thesis. TIP: For persuasion to be effective, you must use the word "should" in your thesis! Also, offer the audience an opportunity for extrinsic change (External) --That means in your CONCLUSION give them an action they can take to demonstrate you have persuaded them (sign up for something, commit by raising hands, join something etc).
Use this outline please.

Younger people SHOULD start putting money into the stock market, to invest in their future. I would be planning on talking about the advantages, disadvantages, why the stock market, and how to get started. It is best prefered (for a profitable future) to get started early, first putting money into a certificate of deposit (CD) acount and work your way up.

Why going from high school to a community college, is better than going from high school to a four year institution.
ReplyDeleteI would be talking about why high school students should think about going to a community college since it would cost less than a four year institution. There are also other benefits of going straight to a community college and then transferring to a four year university.
