NO AI GENERATED WORK, NO PLAGIARISM!
All information needed will be attached, if you have any questions or not enough information just let me know.
Objective: The goal of your speech is to get your audience to do something to make their world better. This must be an audience-centered speech where you identify some sort of problem that may affect us and then give us ways to solve or prevent this problem. This is not an ideological speech.
1. The speech must be between 6-8 minutes. (5-7 pages) Speeches that go up to thirty seconds over or under will lose five points. Speeches that go between 30 seconds to one minute over or under will lose 10 points. Speeches over one minute over or under will lose 15 points.
2. You must have 5-7 sources in your speech. Sources are where you get your information. These can be magazines, academic journals or newspapers. All the information in the speech must be from a source. You will be saying your sources out loud during your speech (include author, title, where it was published and the date on which it was published).
3. You must turn in a full copy of your speech outline with the parts and sources highlighted and/or bolded and a Works Cited page (MLA). The speech must look like the sample persuasive speech I have provided. (SEE ATTACHED IF FOLLOWING LINK DOESNT WORK) Casspersuasiveoutline.pdf

4. The speech must have personal solution or action steps. Telling the audience that a problem exists is not enough. You need to let us know what we can do to overcome these problems. When you research your topic, look for any possible solution to this problem. You will find many if you research and read the articles carefully. If you do not have solution steps that that audience can implement you will earn an automatic two grade loss.

** Again, you must give the people in our classroom something to do!!!!!
5. You will be graded on your use of ethos, logos and pathos. Use all three in your speech to make your audience subscribe to your topic. Language is very important in persuasive speaking. Pay attention to what you write. You will be graded on your ability to use words to persuade.
6. Content and delivery will be equally important in this speech. Your persuasive outline will be graded on content as well as structure.
7. The key to this speech is to use evidence, structure and delivery well enough to move your audience’s threshold to the point of action.
8. Here is a video on how to
structure your persuasive speech.

MY TOPIC:
This speech will persuade my audience that critical thinking is essential for navigating the digital age. It is just as important as before to have the ability to think critically for ourselves, and not have to rely on anything to do it. What used to be considered common sense, is now searched up through google to be drawn to the same conclusion. From being able to do simple things like problem-solving, identifying bias, to making informed decisions; critical thinking is essential to be able to consider most of the information we consume. Finally, critical thinking is not just about being able to identify what’s reliable and hat isn’t; it is also about being able to think creatively and solve our own problems.
