Persuasive speech questions

Please consider the following questions when choosing your topic and developing your speech:

1. What is your stake? audience?

2. 3 main ideas: support?

3. Sources???

4. Consider the "other side"

Due in 2 weeks (11/29)

Please bring a TYPED rough outline to class.

The outline should follow the original template:

Intro: attention getter, preview (ALSO ESTABLISH CREDIBILITY)

Body: three main points with supporting material (Label the proofs as they apply in parenthesis after the point)

For instance: ex: A. Cost effectiveness of not eating meat (logos)

Conclusion: restate the specific purpose (point and three main areas)

Also, cite your sources at the bottom of your outline and how they would apply

YOU MUST HAVE THIS COMPLETED AND WITH YOU 11/29 IN ORDER TO MEET WITH ME AND RECEIVE ANY FEEDBACK!! IN ADDITION ALL TOPICS MUST BE APPROVED!!!!!!

Reminder/ Rule of thumb: If you use internet sources, check to make sure the sites you get your information from ends in edu, org, or gov.

ONE SOURCE MUST BE FROM THE LIBRARY AND USED FOR THE SPEECH.

Finally, make sure that your powerpoints are 3-5 slides with sources cited. (LESS IS MORE when it comes to Powerpoints)

4-7 minute speeches

Final exam

For the final exam, you be writing an essay. This essay will respond to the following three questions. You MUST use evidence from the text, your speeches, and the class in general to answer these questions.

1. What is included in the proper outline format? Why is each area important and necessary?

2. What were three areas that you struggled with delivering your speeches? How did you resolve or at least attempt to resolve them?

3. List five possible times in your life that you may be asked to speak publicly. What will you take from this course that will aid you in being successful in these situations?

Persuasive Speech

Persuasive Speech
Persuasive speeches are used to influence the audience to alter a behavior, attitude or belief.
Persuasive speeches aim to influence an audience by causing change in the ways they think, feel, act or believe. This influence can also reinforce existing positions.

2.The three pillars of proof:

A. ethos: credibility (trustworthy, committed, and knowledgeable)
a. initial credibility: expertise realized by presence before speech
("You're reputation proceeds you")
b. derived credibility: credibilty gained in addition to initial credibility during speech
( culmination of speech attributes: points, organization, tone, support)
c. terminal credibility: credibility at result of the speech
( combination of initial and derived credibililty- overall opinion of speaker's credibility)

B. pathos: emotional appeal (emotional stories or reasoning for beliefs, attitudes, and/ or actions)(senses- language)

C. logos: logical appeal (rational proof or arument with factual reasoning)
a. inductive reasoning: specific to broad ( make point than give reasoning)
b. deductive reasoning: broad to specific ( lead up to point with reasoning)

Ideal Organization

A. intro: capture attention, thesis statement, establish credibility, and preview speech
B. body: internal summaries of main points, smooth transitions
C. conclusion: summarize main points, strong closing statement, clincher
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when formatting your persuasive speech.
1. Make sure that your outline and therefore your speech is either inductive or deductive. (Yes, you have to turn in your outline prior to giving the speech. Highlight your main persuasive idea.)2. I will be looking for examples of ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional appeal), and logos (logical reasoning) in your speech and outline. You will demonstrate these proofs in your content, posture/ appearance, and speaking.
3. Remember that persuading does not necessarily mean changing minds. Persuading can mean enhancing present ideas or perhaps introducing a new way to look at something. Remember: "Breakfast Club as a cultural film".
4. Practice your speech. Try to avoid the "ums" and "likes". Make sure that you capture your audience. Stay within the time limits of 4- 7 min. I will cut you off.
5. Make sure that you have an introduction and a conclusion. Everyone must have a powerpoint. (KEEP IT CLEAN)


You must create a powerpoint and conduct research. You must have three academic or reliable sources for this speech and at least one must be from the Ivy Tech library.
Persuasive Speech Rubric
Outline (20) ____________ (complete, turned in on time, followed, time)
Topic (5) _______________ (limited, appeals to audience)
Intro (15)_______________ (attention getter, establish credibility)
Body (30)_______________ (proofs, transitions, 3main points, organization I/D, effective, responsible)
Presence (35)____________ (nervous energy, confidence, vocal and physical qualities, reading, murmur)
Conclusion (15)____________( highlights main ideas, final thought)
Sources (30) _____________(3 sources, required- not, credible, powerpoint, v/a)
One example would be taking two comparative commercials with like products and discussing the more creative, influential, and overall better commercial. For instance, I could compare car insurance ads. Progressive has the woman in the “white” or virtual store while Allstate has a guy that embodies the “vehicle and the driver” that he represents. I could research the marketing and target audiences, policies, and overall success for my speech. My emotional appeal would be the helpful woman vs. the comical man and how the ads make me feel. My credibility would come from my research and my background in media studies. Finally, my logical reasoning would include financial statistics, focus group analysis, and more effective ad.
Now, this is just an example. You will need these parts, but you will need to develop your speech in accordance to you!!

Impromptu Speech

Impromptu Speech: 50 points
This is an extemporaneous speech. You will be given a list of topics and a limited time to prepare. The speech will be based on your existing knowledge on the subject. You will construct an outline and give your speech “off the cuff” if you will.

Chapter 15 and 16 study guide

Chapter 15
Delivery: Aristotle claimed that “the battle should be fought out on the facts of the case alone; and therefore everything outside the direct proof is really superfluous.”

Content and delivery
Nonverbal communication factors: eye contact, posture, vocal quality, facial expression
Nonverbal- expectancy theory: states that if a listener expects you to have effective delivery, if your delivery is poor, you will lose credibility.
Good speech= effective speech= good delivery
Formal vs. informal tone and audience consideration
Methods of delivery: manuscript (reading), memorized, impromptu (informal), extemporaneous (outline)

Characteristics of delivery:
eye contact (credibility, priority, inclusion)
gestures (cultural expectations, inappropriate, functions, effectiveness)
movement (purposeful, physical barriers, immediacy, transitions)
posture
facial expressions
vocal variety (volume, articulation, dialect, rate, pause)
appearance

Audience :
Ethnocentricism, dramaticism, consult eachother, immediacy monitoring, emotional awareness, verbal/nonverbal codes

Delivery: rest, review, and arrive early

Chapter 16
Visual aids:
Functions:
Enhance understanding, enhance memory, help organize ideas for listeners, gain and maintain attention, illustrate sequences
Types:
Three dimensional (objects, models, people)
Two dimensional (drawings, photos, slides, maps, graphs, charts, chalkboards/whiteboards, overhead)
Computer: powerpoint, images, words, charts, graphs
A/V: DVDs, videotapes, audio
Development Guidelines:
Time awareness, visual awareness, simplicity, related elements, consistent themes, template care
Considerations: audience, speech objective, personal skill and experience

Delivery Guidelines:
Avoid illegal aids, rehearse, make eye contact with audience not aid, Explain aids, and do not pass around objects, use handouts effectively, use aids to control speech, use tech effectively, Murphy’s Law

this is weird

Attention Patrick from Thursday class> I think I have your book. Meet me at 803 in Student Life on Tuesday and I will have it for you!!! Please email me when you read this to confirm.

breincke@ivytech.edu

Midterm clarification

I wanted to offer a few ideas for possible concepts you may use in your analysis.

Perhaps you can see the evolution of complexity in the speech. For instance, if it is a political speech concerning the deficit. This content may be simple to complex is style.

Second, problem- solution organization. For instance, an environmental speech may focus on the depletion of the ozone and possible actions to resolve the issue.

Third, perhaps you recognize the transitions that are mentioned in the book such as; furthermore, next, following etc. Make sure if you choose this kind of concept, you use more than one instance of transitioning.

Fourth, maybe the speaker uses an analogy, example, anecdote or story, or illustration. This would be a good area to recognize.

Finally, maybe your discuss the oral citations the speaker uses when referencing sources they use to make their points.

I hope this helps to clarify the expectations. Make sure to write a paragraph for each concept you use.

Email me with any issues.

Here is the study guide for chapters 10-14

Chapter 10

You will identify these concepts in bold print and give a brief description of the concept based on your understanding from the text with proper page citation and then use the concept to analyze a particular part of the speech. I will want to see why you chose that concept and occurrence in the speech as well as why you feel the speaker used that particular technique or concept.
You may create an essay with an introduction, body and conclusion or State the speech, orator, and where you found the speech- then bullet point your concept analyses followed up with a summary conclusion stating what you learned overall.

Chapter 1-4 Study Guide

This is a look at the concepts that I want you to focus on while you are reading chapters 1-4!!!!



Chapter One
- Empowerment: competence/confidence
- Employment: 1. Speaking skills 2. Written skills 3. Listening 4. Enthusiasm 5. Technical ability
- Public Speaking: “Formal Planned Conversation only less fluid and interactive”
- Roles: Speaker and Audience
- Process: plan, focus/ vocalize thoughts, adapt to audience, standard English, formal nonverbal
- Comm process: source ( encoder)
- message: code( verbal and nonverbal symbols that the audience recognize) (decode)
- channels (visual/ auditory),receiver, noise(external/ internal)
-
- Interaction (feedback/ context)…
- Transaction (simultaneous exchange


Chapter Two
- Confidence. Nervousness.
- Heartrates (avg. = pos., insensitive =relaxed, inflexible ( high)= motivational, confrontational (high)= emotional
-
- Style: Know your behavior, then develop appropriate strategies
- Build your confidence strategies:
-
- Don’t procrastinate(preparation is key to comfort and confidence)
- Know your audience ( do not wait until you are in front of them, find your comfort level and you will gain confidence)
- Select an appropriate topic (make a connection and find familiarity to be comfortable and confident)
- Prepare ( it will help you to gain confidence and conviction)
- Organization ( work on a cohesive plan from start, middle, to end)
- Know your intro and conclusion well (these are the parts that will last with the audience and this is where you are likely most nervous)
- Recreate the environment and practice ( visualize the process and place)
- Use breathing techniques ( use up the nervous energy prior to speech)
- Channel the energy ( envision calm)
- Visualize your success ( positive thoughts)
- Mental pep talk ( positive motivation)
- Focus on your purpose (don’t worry about the physical, focus on the message)
- Look for support in the audience and speak to them
- Focus on your accomplishment ( focus on finishing, not the anxiety)
- Look for opportunities to speak (control your speaking opps as well as your presence)


Chapter Three

Audience Centered Speaking.

The model: consider the audience (delivery, topic, purpose, central ideas, generating main ideas, supporting materials, organization, rehearsal)

Gather info about audience: demographics, diversity, values, belief, and knowledge base

Select and Narrow topic: Consider who the audience is, what are my strengths, occasion?

Purpose: General to Specific (inform? Persuade? To gaining support or confirming beliefs.)

Central Idea: What is the point?

Main Ideas: Reasons? Common Interpretations? Steps?

Support: Criteria (senses, statistics, substantial) Research (peer reviewed, scholarly)

Organization: outline form
Consider visual aids.

I. Introduction
A. Attention Getter
B. Central Idea: Thesis
C. Preview
II. Main Idea One
A. Support
III. Main Idea Two
A. Support
IV. Main Idea Three
A. Support
V. Conclusion
A. Recap Speech
B. Lasting Thought

Rehearse your speech: (out loud, allows for critical review)

Make eye contact: (scan audience)

Chapter Four

Free and Ethical.

Ethics: beliefs, values, moral principles help by the majority used in decision making.

Free Speech: the balance of speaking freely yet within the condition of ethics. (First Amendment: Freedom of Speech)

Patriot Act: Govt power against free speech

Ethical Speech: More free speech- more importance on ethics

Ethically speaking: Responsible goals, sound evidence and reasoning, tolerant of difference, honesty, avoid plagiarism

Ethically listening: Communicate expectations and feedback nonverbally and verbally, be tolerant to difference, listen critically

Here is the outline format!!

This is the format for the outline I would like you to use for your speech. I have included some examples in parenthesis that I might use if I were giving the speech. You only need to follow the bold faced structure.

I. IntroductionA. Attention getter (How many of you like watching TV? I have made a career of it...)
B. Central idea: thesis ( I will be discussing the three main parts of my life to give you a better idea about me, so that we can all get to know one another better...)
C. Preview ( I will be discussing A, B, C)
(transition: next, moving on, etc.)

II. Main idea ONE
A. Family: married, three kids, seven pets
(transition: we are busy, but we have fun...)

III. Main idea TWO
A. Hobbies: games, travel,lake
(transition: none of this would be possible without work...)

IV. Main idea THREE
A. Jobs: teaching, management, subbing
(transition: to conclude, in short, etc.)

V.Conclusion
