Principles of Public Speaking
This is a two-part assignment that you will turn in using one file: Audience Analysis & Persuasive Speech Outline.
Choose one of the following scenarios as the basis for both Assignments in Modules 5 & 7.
- Scenario 1:Imagine that you have been invited to an upper-level management meeting at the company that you work for (currently or one you hope to work for). You are going to deliver a persuasive speech to persuade the management team to either change a policy or add a specific resource to their company budget.
or - Scenario 2:Imagine that you have been invited to deliver a speech at a town hall meeting. You are going to deliver a persuasive speech to persuade citizens in your community to vote yes toward the allocation of city funds towards a project or cause that you believe will benefit all members of your community.
Directions: Use correct English, spelling, and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. You must use the template provided.
Part 2: Persuasive Speech Outline (Using Monroe’s Motivated Sequence) – The outline is due in Module 5. The speech itself is due Module 7
Create a complete preparation outline using the template provided, using the five steps of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (Attention, Need, Satisfaction, Visualization and Action) in order in your outline.
- Re-read the information in the Module 6 Lecture Notes to help you understand more fully what Monroe’s Motivated Sequence is and how to use it. (Be sure to watch both videos, too.)
- Use full sentences throughout your outline.
- Your Supporting Materials should have a full sentence each, plus an APA-formatted in-text citation for each. (See Purdue’s Online Writing Lab article In-Text Citations: The Basics for assistance.)
- If you use phrases or sentences word-for-word from one of your sources, you must put quotation marks around the words and also provide an in-text citation. (Not doing do is a form of plagiarism, which will cause you to earn zero points on the assignment.)
- If you paraphrase material from a source, you will still need to include an in-text citation. (Not doing do is a form of plagiarism, which will cause you to earn zero points on the assignment.)
