The primary goal of persuasive speaking is to convince the audience to accept your point of view. The speech is organized in such a way as to encourage the audience to accept all or part of the expressed viewpoint.
Using the persuasive speech outline created in Unit 6, incorporate the instructor and peer feedback to help create the speaking outline to use for the delivery of the persuasive speech. Then create a recording of yourself delivering the speech using recording software. Suggestions for recording software are found in the pdfs listed below and are available on the home page in the Assignment Tutorials tab under Academics. This assignment has three parts.
Step 1: Record the Persuasive Speech
The persuasive speech should:
· Include an 8-10 minute length video recording.
· Have good audio and video quality in the recording (Please be sure to review your recording before submission to ensure good quality).
· Have a minimum of 1 visual/presentation aid.
· Address the following:
· Follow the speech outline you created in Unit 6.
· Include a minimum of 3 support references.
· Provide verbal credit to the sources. Identify the references within the speech presentation when you share their content. For example: “According to…”
Step 2: Complete the Self-Critique
Watch the video recording of your persuasive speech video to provide a self-critique of the content and delivery. Answer the following prompts as a form of self-critique in an MS Word Document:
· What was your process for preparing your speech?
· What challenges did you have when preparing your speech? How did you overcome them?
· What challenges did you have recording your speech? How did you overcome them?
