This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin.InstructionsFormal Outline for the Persuasive Speech

During this session, you will begin working on a persuasive speech on a topic of your choice. The following is an overview of the required components of this persuasive speech assignment due in Session 5. For this assignment please note that you are only submitting the outline portion of your speech.

Topic Selection

First, you will need to select the topic of your persuasive speech. The topic should be something that interests both you and your audience, personally or professionally. Choose topics that are unique but not emotionally charged (for example, avoid the topic of abortion/pro-life or capital punishment).

Outline

Next you will create an outline of your speech. The outline should be comprehensive in all areas to include APA format in-text citation of sources where applied and a complete references list at the bottom. For this speech, you will need to use and orally cite at least three academic, peer reviewed, published references.

The seven to nine-minute persuasive speech must be organized in terms of the elements of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence. Monroe’s Motivated Sequences has five elements:

Introduction/Attention Getter

What could be said or presented that will capture your audience’s attention to this subject?

Problem/Need

Provide a brief context, building background on the issue you have selected.

The background should clearly describe what the issue/problem is, how it came to be an issue, and how the issue/problem impacts your audience.

Solution

Provide your answer(s) to the issue/problem based on sound logical reasoning (facts, statistics, personal research, etc.).

Visualization of Solution

Provide a visual (both rhetorically and visually) so that your audience can “see” the solution actually being implemented.

Call to Action

Provide specific actions that your audience can take to be a part of this solution.

It is a little tricky outlining a speech in terms of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence; please review the lecture content for this section for how to do this.

Please keep in mind that for this speech you must use a visual aid (of your choice) as well as use and orally cite at least three academic, peer reviewed, published references. Include these references in a reference page or slide in APA format. If using PowerPoint slides, make sure you use in-text citations where information is applied. You will need to include and submit PPT slides with appropriate standard APA formatting to accompany your video presentation. Be sure to refer to your assigned viewing for an example of what this format should look like.

There will be no formal peer evaluations of this speech. However, you will want to incorporate any relevant peer and instructor feedback from the previous sessions’ speeches into this session’s speech so that you can demonstrate growth in your speaking abilities.

This speech serves as the final for this course, should represent your best work, and has a higher point value than previous speeches.
