  3. Purpose of Persuasive Speech

  4. My Introduction toPersuasive Speech will . . . . . • Activate the students’ prior knowledge. • Draw the students' attention and interest. • Inform the students what they will be learning about. • Provide a foundation or framework for the students to start from.

  5. PERSUASIVE SPEECH OUTLINE

  6. Attention Step …OPENING STATEMENT of INTEREST • A rhetorical question – “What would you do if…..” • A startling statement – “City officials should enforce curfew” • A quotation – “If we do not discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us……William Feather” • Use one or more of the following:

  7. Attention Step….Opening Statement of Interest • An illustration or story – Santa Claus is real • A reference to the subject – good health • A reference to the occasion – if talking about holidays name a specific celebration

  8. A Rhetorical Question • is not generally used with the expectation of an answer but with some different, indirect force, such as • a command • a tentative statement, and • an evaluation.

  9. A Startling Statement • Begin with something to get the attention of the audience. This might be a startling statement, statistic, or your own story. • Listeners pay close attention when a person begins with, “Two weeks ago as I was driving to work a car pulled out in front of me….”

  10. “A QUOTATION” Motivational Quotes . . . . or cute sayings are a great way to inspire yourself and your audience. Topics include funny, famous, cute love quotes, friendship, motivational quotes and inspirational quotes. Great for speeches!

  11. An Illustration or Story This a powerful way to punch up your speech An illustration or story can stir emotions, stimulate thinking, persuade a change in thought and motivate someone to action. Because of the way our minds work, they are a great tool to enable the audience to remember the speech.

  12. An Illustration or Story (cont’d) Here are five types . . . . • Simile – two unlike things are compared • Metaphor - figure of speech that suggests a resemblance • Comparison – the act of comparing; a likening • Allegory - figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another • Parables – a statement that conveys meaning indirectly

  13. A Reference to the Subject Use reference books and articles: • to get background information on an issue or topic • to get statistical information • to quickly scan a topic for keywords • to get leads to other sources (bibliographies)

  14. A Reference to the Occasion Consider how the nearest occasion itself might present an opportunity to heighten audience receptivity. Example: holiday, beginning of school, Labor Day, birthday Remind your listeners of an important date just passed or coming soon.

  15. Motivate Audience Interest in your Subject by Alluding to: • The practical value of the information to your audience • The reason to listen • The audience’s sense of curiosity

  16. Establish your credibility by: Alluding to any first-hand experience you may have had Alluding to sources of information you have consulted

  17. Provide orienting material by: Previewing main points Simply identify the main points of the speech. Cover them in the same order that they will appear in the body of the presentation.

  18. Preview Example - Kites Invention of the kite Evolution of the kite Different types of kites Various uses for kites

  19. The Delivery For many speakers, delivery is the most intimidating aspect of public speaking. Although there is no known cure for nervousness, you can make yourself much more comfortable by practicing with a few basic delivery guidelines.

  20. The Delivery (cont’d) Read your speech aloud, have someone listen Once comfortable give speech from outline Rehearse until you are confident Practice in front of a mirror
