For the first part of your assignment you will submit a complete sentence outline (NOT a topic outline or a written transcript!) You can review a sample outline on pages 211-213 of your textbook, or in an example attached above. No other format will be accepted, so please use the examples listed to ensure your assignment is completed according to the requirements.

Remember that visual aids ARE REQUIRED this time. You will need to show them when presenting the speech, as well as list them in your outline (after Conclusion and before your References section).

Week 3 Assignment

Your second speech assignment (either recorded or presented live) assignment is to prepare a 6-minute speech to persuade. Choose a topic you feel truly passionate about, like motivating people to donate clothes to a homeless shelter or volunteering at a local nursing home. If you choose a controversial topic, be sure to present both sides AND provide solid academic sources. In fact, a minimum of 4 academic sources is required for this assignment. Make sure you are developing a specific action that your audience can take (not just to think about something but to do something). The speech also requires a visual aid.

Please check with me if you need clarification.

There are 1 part to this assignment:

1. A written outline (due this Sunday)

This speech requires a minimum of 4 credible peer-reviewed academic sources that must be verbally cited in the speech, as well as included in the APA formatted References section of your outline. Keep in mind that a variety of sources will be worth a little more on your speech, so look in books, magazines, online library, brochures, interviews, videos, etc.
