  1. PERSUASIVE SPEAKING

  2. CONSTRUCT PERSUASIVE SPEECH GOAL • ADAPT PS GOAL TO INITIAL AUDIENCE ATTITUDE OPPOSED - REWORD GOAL E.g.“I want to convince my audience that smoking is bad for health” “I want to convince my audience that smoking will not only affect the health of smokers but also the health of their loved ones”

  3. NEUTRAL Reasons for neutrality: Uninformed-not much knowledge of topic Impartial-no opinion Apathetic-not interested/unconcerned

  4. IN FAVOUR - Reinforce and strengthen audience’s beliefs.

  5. IN PS - SPECIFIC GOAL IS STATED AS A PROPOSITION PROPOSITION OF FACT “I want to persuade the audience that there is a God” PROPOSITION OF VALUE “ I want to persuade my audience to vote me in the next elections”

  6. PROPOSITION OF POLICY “I want my audience to believe that all courses should be taught in English”

  7. SPEECH PLANNING ACTION STEP • Writing the specific goal 1. Tentatively phrase goal as proposition 2. Check audience’s attitude. 3. Check whether revised proposition is one of fact, value or policy.

  8. SPEECH PLANNING ACTION STEP 4. Write the finalised proposition. 5. List as many reasons to support specific goal. 6. Choose the three or four that would be most persuasive for your audience. 7. Write a Thesis Statement incorporating these reasons.

  9. E.g • Proposition • I want to convince my audience that they should not download music from the internet.

  10. Downloading music is unethical • “Downloading music” is extremely harmful to recording companies • Downloading music is extremely harmful to artists • Downloading music is extremely harmful to your computer • Downloading music is illegal • Downloading music might result in penalties.

  11. THESIS STATEMENT • Three good reasons for not downloading music off the Internet are that it’s extremely harmful to recording companies and artists, and it’s illegal.

  12. SELECTING EVIDENCE • ASK DOES THE EVIDENCE COME FROM A WELL-RESPECTED SOURCE? IS THE EVIDENCE RECENT AND IF NOT, IS IT STILL VALID?

  13. SELECTING EVIDENCE • DOES THE EVIDENCE REALLY SUPPORT THE REASON? • WILL THIS EVIDENCE BE PERSUASIVE FOR THIS AUDIENCE?

  14. ESSENTIALS OF REASONING • REASONING? • ARGUMENTS? CLAIM- A CONCLUSION TO BE PROVEN. SUPPORT- WITH REASONS/EVIDENCE

  15. E.g SG: I want the audience to believe that the car needs a tune- up. (claim) • I. The car misses at slow speeds. (R & C) A. On Tues. it was missing when driving below 20 kmh (E) B. On Wed. it did the same thing (E)

  16. II. The car stalls at traffic lights. (R & E) A. It stalled twice on Monday. (E) B. It stalled at every traffic light yesterday. (E)

  17. WARRANT • - a logical statement that connects the support to the claim.

  18. TYPES & TESTS OF ARGUMENTS • ARGUING FROM EXAMPLE • E.g • CLili should be elected • SLili won the previous elections • A. Lili won the election for student council • B. Lili won the election for treasurer W Because Lili was elected before, she should be elected this year.
