This is a persuasive speech that can be written over 1 of these 4 topics:
1. Plastic in the environment and the ocean.
2. Conventional versus organic produce.
3. Meat consumption and its effects on life expectancy.
4. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) in foods: to label or not to label?
Whichever topic above is chosen to be written about these things need to be apparent:
1. Did the writer choose an effective persuasive
strategy?
2. Did the writer provide the audience with a new
perspective on the topic?
3. Did the writer state a position?
4. Did the speaker prove the position?
5. Did the speaker provide compelling information
supporting the position?
I have attached the pdf of the outline that the speech needs to follow, ALL parts of the outline have to be labeled or made apparent in the speech. Be sure to recap the 3 main ideas in the same fashion they are written in the thesis part and in the conclusion. I have also attached a pdf of the rubric on which the speech will be graded. There needs to be 2 credible and verified sources mentioned within the speech and cited in MLA format (in the text and in the bibliography.) Sites like Wikipedia, yahoo answers, any encyclopedia, blogs, etc are not acceptable sources. No plagiarism is allowed. Please note that in the rubric organization and sources count for the largest percentage of the grade. This speech needs to flow smoothly, be persuasive throughout the entire speech. The entire page has to be filled with no additional spaces, the work cited page can be attached separately on another page if needed. Thank you!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
