Instructions
In this speech, you will be writing and delivering a 5–8-minute persuasive speech using Monroe’s Motivated Sequence to persuade your audience to act differently. Your task is to choose a persuasive topic (based on an action), do your own research and construct an original speech. As with your other speeches, you should then rehearse your speech incorporating what you’ve learned about speech construction, delivery and style.

Choose a topic you feel passionate about and one in which you have some basic (starting) knowledge. As always, keep your audience’s interests in mind. You must have three credible sources and cite them correctly in APA or MLA format in your outline. If you are unsure whether your sources are credible, please review course resources, such as lecture notes and the textbook. You should include between 2-4 credible sources.

Organize your speech using Monroe’s Motivated Sequence. For the main part of your outline (and the part you deliver for your speech) includes the steps in Monroe’s: Attention, Needs, Solution, Visualization, and Action steps. Be sure you use logical arguments using evidence from credible sources for your Needs Step and Solution Step in particular. The Visualization step should appeal more to emotions. Cite your sources in your outline and also orally in the presentation. Write your outline using full sentences and paying attention to the correct format.

This assignment will require considerable research and skillful use of the methods of persuasion discussed in the modules and in the textbook. Audience analysis will be particularly important. Use the results of previous audience analysis surveys to help you adapt your persuasive message to your target audience.

How To Construct Your Speech:
Choose your topic, which needs to be a specific action. Keep in mind the interest and knowledge of you and your audience.
Use the library and the Internet to search for 3 credible sources. Credible sources include (but are not limited to): newspapers, magazines, books, original data from professional journals, and credible websites. PLEASE DO NOT use or cite Wikipedia, blogs, WebMD, About.com as they are not credible sources of information.
Organize your speech using the steps of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence.
Add evidence from your sources to support your main points and add any additional explanations, stories or examples. Be sure to cite sources in your outline and, orally in the presentation. Sources should be cited in MLA or APA format. For examples of MLA & APA citations, please consult the documents labeled “MLA examples” and “APA examples” on Canvas. You must have at least two sources
