Thesis

NEED:

There are potentially two kinds of needs (your speech uses one of these):

To urge a change—point out what’s wrong with present conditions

To demand preservation of present conditions—point out the danger of a change

The Need Step is developed by:

Illustration:  Tell of one or more incidents to illustrate the need.

Ramifications:  Employ as many additional facts, examples, and quotations as are required to make             the need convincingly impressive.

SATISFACTION:

The Satisfaction Step presents a solution and is developed by (use one or more of the following):

Statement of solution:  a brief statement of the attitude, belief, or action you wish the audience to adopt or maintain. Explanation:  Make sure that your proposal is understood.

Theoretical demonstration:  show how the solution logically and adequately meets the need pointed out in the need step, point-by-point!

Practical experience: actual examples showing where this proposal has worked effectively or where the belief has proven correct.

Meeting objections: forestall opposition by showing how your proposal overcomes any objections which might be raised.

 

VISUALIZATION:

The Visualization Step must be realistic.  The conditions you describe must be at least realistic.  The more vivid you make the situation seem, the stronger the reaction of the audience.  There are three methods of visualizing the future (use one or more of the following):

            Positive: Describe the conditions if your solution is actually carried out.  Picture the listeners in that situation          actually enjoying the safety, pleasure, or pride that your proposal will produce.

Negative: Describe conditions if your solution is not carried out.  Picture the audience feeling the bad effects or         unpleasantness that the failure to effect your solution will produce.

Contrast: Combination of 1 and 2.  Begin with the negative method (undesirable situation) and conclude with the       positive method (desirable solution).

 

ACTION:

The Action Step is the conclusion of your speech and very important when seeking to persuade.  It is developed by (use one or more of the following):

Restatement of main idea and summary of main points.

Statement of specific action or attitude change you want from the audience—be clear, specific, detailed!

 

 

1. Objectives:

Ø  To deliver a speech that attempts to change or reinforce thoughts, feelings, or actions.

Ø  To make a presentation that demonstrate an understanding the Chicano/a Latina/o experience in the local and global society

Ø  To make a polished presentation that includes good posture, presence, voice, articulation and eye contact.

 

2. Description: Your task is to write and deliver a persuasive speech. Persuasive speeches attempt to change or reinforce an audience’s attitudes, beliefs, or actions.  The persuasive speech is more complex and demanding than the informative speech and, therefore, is worth more points.  The three major types of persuasive speeches address questions of fact, questions of value, and questions of policy.  For this assignment, you will use Monroe’s Motivated Sequence and a topic that reflects the Chicano/a Latina/o experience in the local and global society.
