Establish your credibility by:

Alluding to any first-hand experience/expertise you may have

Alluding to sources of information you have consulted

Thesis

Preview

NEED:

There are potentially two kinds of needs (your speech uses one of these):

To urge a change—point out what’s wrong with present conditions

To demand preservation of present conditions—point out the danger of a change

The Need Step is developed by:

Illustration: Tell of one or more incidents to illustrate the need. Ramifications: Employ as many additional facts, examples, and quotations as are required to make the need convincingly impressive.

SATISFACTION:

The Satisfaction Step presents a solution and is developed by (use one or more of the following):

Statement of solution: a brief statement of the attitude, belief, or action you wish the audience to adopt or maintain. Explanation: Make sure that your proposal is understood.

Theoretical demonstration: show how the solution logically and adequately meets the need pointed out in the need step, point-by-point!

Practical experience: actual examples showing where this proposal has worked effectively or where the belief has proven correct.

Meeting objections: forestall opposition by showing how your proposal overcomes any objections which might be raised.

VISUALIZATION:

The Visualization Step must be realistic. The conditions you describe must be at least realistic. The more vivid you make the situation seem, the stronger the reaction of the audience. There are three methods of visualizing the future (use one or more of the following):

Positive: Describe the conditions if your solution is actually carried out. Picture the listeners in that situation actually enjoying the safety, pleasure, or pride that your proposal will produce.

Negative: Describe conditions if your solution is not carried out. Picture the audience feeling the bad effects or unpleasantness that the failure to effect your solution will produce. Contrast: Combination of 1 and 2. Begin with the negative method (undesirable situation) and conclude with the positive method (desirable solution).

ACTION:

The Action Step is the conclusion of your speech and very important when seeking to persuade. It is developed by (use one or more of the following):

Restatement of main idea and summary of main points.

Statement of specific action or attitude change you want from the audience—be clear, specific, detailed!

Persuasive Speech

(100 points)

1. Objectives:

· To deliver a speech that attempts to change or reinforce thoughts, feelings, or actions.

· To make a presentation that demonstrate an understanding the Chicano/a Latina/o experience in the local and global society

· To make a polished presentation that includes good posture, presence, voice, articulation and eye contact.

2. Description: Your task is to write and deliver a persuasive speech. Persuasive speeches attempt to change or reinforce an audience’s attitudes, beliefs, or actions. The persuasive speech is more complex and demanding than the informative speech and, therefore, is worth more points. The three major types of persuasive speeches address questions of fact, questions of value, and questions of policy. For this assignment, you will use Monroe’s Motivated Sequence and a topic that reflects the Chicano/a Latina/o experience in the local and global society.

You still must apply all that you already know about the essential elements of a speech to the organizational pattern—Monroe’s Motivated Sequence—to your persuasive speech. For example, make sure to incorporate all elements of intro, body, conclusion, connectives, and sources. It may help to think of the overall structure of the speech like this: INTRO – Attention BODY – Need, Satisfaction, Visualization CONCLUSION – Call to Action
3. Length: This is a 6‑8 minute speech. You will be timed. Your grade will be deducted 5 points if you are more than 30 sec. over or under the time limit and 10 points if you are more than 60 sec. over or under the time limit. The time will be indicated to you, by the use of a flashcard, when you have met the minimum time limit.

4. Outline: A formal, typed outline is required. It must be in complete sentences and each item must be labeled. You must include a “Works Cited” section formatted according to the MLA style.

5. Content: Your speech must include all components stated in the outline and lecture.Your grade will be based upon use of an attention getter during the introduction; a preview of the body of the speech; the development of three identifiable main points; the inclusion of three citations of source/supporting material; adequate summarization of main points in conclusion; analysis of and adaptation to audience; effective use of steps of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence and discussion of a Chicana/o Latina/o issue.

6. Research Items: You must have a minimum of 5 research items identified within the speech and outline. This means 3 separate sources (at least two Level I source). Remember, you MUST verbally cite your sources, when needed, throughout your speech. Verbal citations must be complete in order to receive the points.

7. Note cards: You may or may not use note cards. If you decide to use notes, you may only use ONE (1) note card for your quotes or sources. Also, to avoid confusion you may only write on one side of the cards.

8. Delivery (30 pts): This assignment requires an extemporaneous style of delivery. No reading is involved, but rather sharing information in a conversational manner. Students will not use the lectern at any time.

· Use vocal variety to help add to the message and meaning of the speech.

· Avoid "verbal fillers" such as "um", "ah", etc.

· Make eye contact to ALL parts of the audience for a majority of the time.

· Briefly glance your note cards from time to time, but avoid reading your speech. Don’t play with your notes.

· Remember to have good posture. Your weight should not shift from hip to hip.

· Incorporate natural and purposeful gestures.

· Avoid "nervous" gestures such as fidgeting, hand in pocket, hands behind the back, playing with hair or watch, drumming at the lectern, etc.

REMEMBER TO THINK BACKWARDS. You are used to stating the solution before you state the problem! Example: "Mom, Dad, I need a new pair of shoes because my old ones are worn out." With Monroe's Motivated Sequence [and in life] you state the problem (s) first and then your solution. "Mom, Dad, my shoes are worn out; please buy me new ones." Also note that you have a claim of personal policy in those examples - You should buy me a new pair of shoes!
