Part 1: For this presentation, you will create a 6-8-minute video about an academic proposition of fact, value, or policy. You can use one of the propositions you developed in your module 6 brainstorm, but it must be appropriate for a college audience, be controversial, and have a good amount of research for and against the proposition. So giving a speech that “drunk driving is bad” or “smoking causes cancer” are not good topics, because there isn’t much controversy or research against these positions.
This speech needs to have at least five sources from articles written by expert authors. Three of them must come from the Library (which I have attached), database with one being cited in each of your main points. The specialized database opposing viewpoints (Gale in Context) is a great resource for persuasive speeches.
While you can use internet articles for your other sources, they must all have authors and be evaluated using the CRAAP method.
This is a speech that needs to persuade your audience. Your proposition should be what organizes your speech. In other words, all your main points should be in support of your proposition, explaining why it is true, should be believed, or should lead to change.
While this speech can include personal stories, explanations, or hypothetical examples, it should only be used to support your research. If you have a personal story that supports your position, it should only be used if it aligns with your research.
The speech should include all the outlining components that were discussed within Module 2. Your speech should have an attention grab to open up your speech, a clear proposition, a reason for the audience to listen, and a preview in the introduction.
The speech should also include a body with at least 3 main points that support your proposition. Each main point needs to include subpoints that explain or support your main points. Remember, this is not a speech about your personal knowledge, but should be grounded with the research you conducted.
Finally, the speech should also include a conclusion that has a summary of your main points and a clincher to wrap up your speech.
