Persuasive Speech Topic: Should the federal minimum wage be increased?

Persuasive Speech–The purpose of this speech is for the students to change or reinforce their audience's attitudes, beliefs or values. This is the speech to pull out off of the stops and impress your audience with all of the skills you’ve learned. You are asked to use the Monroe Motivated Sequence. This speech should demonstrate excellence in research, organization, signposting, delivery and language. Remember, your objective is to persuade your audience on a topic. Pick a topic that has enough depth for you to be successful. Timing: 4-6 minutes.

Your speech will only be graded if it abides by the following rules:

• REQUIREMENTS: You must use either the G.A.M.E. Plan Outline or the Traditional Outline template provided in the Student Toolbox section of this course. You must submit your outline into the assignment submissions folder in either a Word, PDF or other D2L-readable format.
  • TRADITIONAL OUTLINE FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING
• Your speech will be evaluated in four key aspects. The evaluation is detailed in the attached Speech Evaluation Information document. The four aspects that will be considered are 1. Outline, 2. Content, 3. Language and 4. Elocution.
• You are to use the Monroe's Motivated Sequence as the structure of your outline. Monroe's Motivated Sequence involves:

1. Getting Audience Attention
2. Creating a need or explaining a problem
3. Offering a solution that will fill need or fix problem
4. Help audience visualize what like will be like if they accept your idea and if they don't
5. Offer a clear action step with an easy start
   • Your attention-getter should be included in the introduction of your speech outline. Your key points should be 1. Problem, 2. Solution, and 3. Visualization. Your action step should be part of your conclusion.
   • I've attached a special example outline using the Monroe Motivated Sequence with a link to an actual speech at the top. Please use this to inform your speech organization. Monroe's Motivated Sequence Example Outline
