Significance of Donating Blood Persuasive Speech Your final project, the persuasive speech, is your opportunity to take a stance on a topic of interest and support your viewpoint. This final presentation represents the culmination of smaller assignments. Consider:
The topic itself. What is the issue, who are the stakeholders, and why is this important to you? And… why should it be important to us?
Your topical outline. What do you plan to tell us? What evidence do you plan to share, to convince us that your side is right in this debate?
What did you learn from the devil’s advocate? How can you use their propaganda against them – so that your argument is even stronger?
What tips will you use to make a ‘great’ persuasive speech? How can you use visual aids?
And finally, what will you ask the audience to do once you’ve persuaded them that your viewpoint is the most logical/sensible? Will your concluding thoughts resonate with them?
