- We watched the following persuasive speech and talked about the elements that made it effective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc3ovSFpyEk
- I gave students a research guide to study about their topic.
- Here are some things to remember when writing your speech at home:
-
· Make sure your arguments are logical and defend the reason you stated at the beginning of the paragraph.· Choose strong action words (like “crippled” instead of “hurt”).· Present a counterargument for at least two of your six reasons.· Include specific details that are well researched and provide evidence for your reason.· Make sure your reasons are in a thoughtful order that will make the most difference to listeners.· Connect to the audience’s emotions, their sense of ethics (right and wrong), and their desires.· Use repetition/parallelism in your writing throughout the speech to drive home a particular point.· Use imagery like metaphors and similes to help the audience “see” your point.
- Make sure your solutions are attainable and logical.
- Explain why your solutions are logical.
- Speeches are due NEXT TIME, typed and double spaced, and written out word for word. For students doing audio recordings, those are due at the same time. Everyone else will deliver their speeches.
