  1. Persuasive Speech Techniques and Expectations

  2. Persuasive Speech: Monday, May 2ndand Tuesday, May 3rd • Your audience will be your teacher and classmates. • Speeches should be about 4 minutes in length (marks will be lost for speeches less than 3 1/2 minutes long) • You will be graded on the content of your speech, its organization, your ability to convince the audience, as well as oral skills such as voice, tone, eye contact, and fluidity. • You may use technology to convince your audience: • Powerpoint • Photos • Charts/Statistics • Video (video clip times will be deducted from the presenter’s speech length)

  3. Speech Tips • For a successful speech, you should use a variety of sentence structures and transitions to make the speech flow smoothly. • Practice. An absolute must. Practice your speeches at least three times before you deliver them in class. I'm not kidding. • Practice and time yourself. When you practice, make sure you're within the assigned time limit. If you are not, fix your speech until you are.

  4. More Tips • Speak loudly and slowly. By far, this is the most common problem that students have with delivery. • Unless you are told otherwise, do not read your speech word for word. Students often do this because they are nervous. Unfortunately, reading a speech word for word is a terrible way to establish good rapport with the audience. • Use sources to increase your credibility. When you cite a source, be sure to tell the audience who the source is and why your source is trustworthy. For example, if you're giving a speech about lung cancer, say, "According to Dr. Jane Doe, Vice President of the American Lung Association...."

  5. Public Speaking Tips • Look up • Speak slowly (at a good pace) and clearly • Be calm, cool and collected • Avoid fidgeting (playing with hair, pacing back and forth, twitching, shuffling feet, hand gestures, scratching/pulling on ear, tapping, biting your nails, weird eyebrow movements) • Avoid awkward phrases (um, like, I mean, yeah, and so…) • Use inflections (no monotone) • Do not cover your face • Pause at key moments • Eye contact • Practice, practice, practice!!
