THE 
PERSUASIVE
PRESENTATION  

 

 

THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST PREPARED SPEECH OF THIS SEMESTER,

 SO I HOPE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO "PULL-IT-ALL-TOGETHER".

PRESENTATION DATES: __12/5, 12/10, 12/12__In the next week or so,
                                    each person will receive a specific presentation date.
                            Volunteering is strongly encouraged.
 

LENGTH OF PRESENTATION:  LS= 6 to 8 minutes | GB = 6 to 8 minutes minutes-                                                      TOTAL!   [to be used strategically ]

HINT:   You should NOT use this extra time to: 
<1> squeeze in more points                                         or
<2>tackle topic that is too broad                  or
<3> slowly set up your visual/presentation aids    or
 <4> present a topic from primarily an information &/or speaker-centered  perspective       
The extra time should be used for employing well rounded & strategically structured persuasive principles  ( from your notes, chapter 18 & the online slide show)-- which means you'll need to use a variety of  communication techniques and supporting materials to  reinforce the 3-5 supporting points of your persuasive argument. ( a.k.a.. your thesis statement)
 

 

TOPICS: As always, specific topics are up to the individual, but you should make an effort to satisfy both the audience's needs  as well as the enthusiasm of the speaker.   A topics sign -up sheet will be circulated in class so that you can indicate your desired topic.
  

REQUIREMENTS OF PRESENTATION:

        1.  All presentations should demonstrate your comprehension of:

        2.  Outlining & speech structure will be major factors of consideration and grading .
 
      3.  The presentation delivery must be EXTEMPORANEOUS.3.  The presentation delivery must be EXTEMPORANEOUS.
             HINT:  This also means that your preparation needs to be extemporaneous, as well.
                          Remember, an extemporaneous speech is NOT simply an essay being said out loud.
 
 

        4.  All presentations must be Persuasive & should indicate an understanding and  mastery of the elements/principles of persuasion.   [You will definitely need to make use of class notes, the text [esp.Chap 18] , and appropriate outside reading] 
 
 
 

        5.  Visual aids are strongly recommended (as long as they don't disrupt timing.). In fact, some of you still need to fulfill your Presentation Graphics requirement.
                HINT:  When they are well integrated into the oral message, visual/audio/presentation aids
                        greatly assist the ETHOS & PATHOS components of persuasion .
