Introduction
Provide your persuasive speech topic: The benefits of regular exercise
and mental heath
For this assignment, find and record at least five (5)
pieces of evidence using at least five (5) pieces of evidence as described in
chapter 12 of our book of which two may be the same (you may choose from the
following types of evidence: statistics, testimony, and examples).
You may use two types of evidence twice (i.e. two stats, two
testimonies, and one example). All five pieces of evidence must not be the same
type.
You must use researched based supporting material that comes
from at least five (5) different published sources. Only two of your sources
may come from the Internet (all or at least three must come from physical
sources such as books, magazines, journals, newspapers, etc.). Wikipedia may
not be used. For online sources consider using .org, .gov., or .edu sources.
Make sure to check the validity of your sources.
Each piece of evidence you record must include the
following: main point that the evidence is supporting, supporting
evidence type, source (including date, page, title, publishing date,
etc.), and quote or exact text you plan to use. **HELPFUL TIP: Make
your quote or text EXACTLY what you want to use in your speech, do not record
an entire article or lengthy paragraph that you plan to minimize later – this
is the time to get exact and specific.
