Description:
Prepare a detailed FULL SENTENCE outline for Speech 3 using the template below. This does not mean writing your entire speech but only writing the topic sentence for the three to five supporting points that prove your thesis. In the outline, show where you will use your visual aid and tell me what it is. That is all you must do to insert the aid in the outline.
Include a thesis statement that contains the claim or prediction you will prove or illustrate (which is usually spoken); a purpose statement, indicating if you are persuading or informing the audience and the response from the audience you wish to achieve (which is not usually spoken); an introduction; a body, including supporting evidence; transitions; and a conclusion. When you use outside sources in creating your speech, include them in the speech with a short spoken citation and provide a bibliography in APA format on the outline.
OUTLINE TOPIC
Your Speech 3 Outline is over Speech 3, a 5 to 7-minute (closer to 7 minutes than to 5) speech in which you seek to persuade the audience to take action or change some behavior or way of thinking. You MUST practice your speech before you present it to us. You must time yourself and make needed changes, if any, to meet the time frame.
This argument is based on research, not opinions, values, or beliefs. The essence of this speech is meant to cause the audience to respond in some way. While you may attempt to elicit an emotional response from the audience, the bulk of your argument must be based on current factual research. Describe to the audience the significance of this research evidence and explain how an analysis of it leads to the proof of your thesis. Remember to cite your resources as you have been told in the outline directions. See all comments on all past work to help you make this your best speech!
