persuasive speech 47
General Purpose: Persuasion is apparent to a certain degree in any type of talk, however, the specific purpose of the persuasive speech assignment is not only to convince your audience to adopt a particular belief, but also to convince them to take a prescribed course of action. In other words, you will actually be asking your audience to carry out some step that you have demonstrated will alleviate a particular problem. This is called an action step. Calling your audience into action is a requirement for this speaking assignment. Remember that if you are trying to get people to do something, you will have to make it very clear that doing this thing will satisfy some needs that they have. Hence, you should be able to identify the specific needs that you are attempting to awaken and motivate in your audience.
Process: You must use the Monroe Motivated Sequence pattern of organization for this speech.
