Persuasive Preparation Outline (20pts)
& Speech Delivery (100pts) Guidelines
Assignment Guidelines/Instructions
1. GOAL OF SPEECH: The goal of this assignment is to move
the audience to take action
to stop/decrease a specific global issue happening within their
nation, state, local
areas/organizations – not just think differently, but do
something specific. You will use
the same global issue from your Informative Speech.
2. TOPIC CHOICE: First, you chose the topic from the list
provided for your Informative
Speech. If you received approval and completed the Informative
Preparation Outline,
PowerPoint, and Delivery you are ready to create the Persuasive
Speech. REMEMBER:
You use the same topic for both your informative and
persuasive speeches: BUT

the speeches are wholly different! Work now to choose one side
and persuade the
audience of its value and validity to them. ALSO REMEMBER,
STUDENTS
CANNOT PRESENT THE SAME TOPIC!!!
3. SPEECH ORGANIZATION OR PATTERN OF DELIVERY:
The organization of a
speech and its contents follow certain patterns provided in your
textbook. For the
Persuasive Speech your speech organization format MUST
follow Monroe’s Motivated
Sequence. See Chapter 6 in the textbook for more information.
An example of the Persuasive Speech Preparation Outline with
guidelines and a sample
to follow with these instructions is located at the bottom of this
document. NOTE: Items
in RED are instructions, please do not retype the words in red as
they are there just to
help you understand the format. Be sure to answer the
questions in BLUE for each
main point.

Please note that you MUST answer the four objectives of
Monroe’s Motivated
Sequence so follow the guidelines provided or your grade will
suffer! Do not make
this assignment harder than what it is by trying to create more
work than is necessary.
4. VISUAL AID: A PowerPoint must be created as a visual aid
and shown when you
present your speech. This PowerPoint is required and will be
evaluated on its design
and integration into the speech. Speech delivery without a
PowerPoint will result in a
10% points penalty from delivery points. You may use other
visual aids as you desire.
5. RESEARCH & APA CITATION: At least one source must be
orally cited for each main
point during your speech (minimum of 4, best is 6).
REMEMBER, You MUST cite at least one source during each of
your main points - no
less than 4 sources in total - in support of your points (ex.
according to..., as stated in...,
said by...). This means that they must be verbalized, and not
just referenced at the
end… so integrate your sources!!! ***** Also note, the speech

is not solely your opinion,
other academically credible sources are needed. Galileo is
recommended or Google
Scholar.
***** DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA! Sources from Wiki pages
will not be accepted.
6. WORK CITED PAGE: The research sources must be
documented in the outline with int-
text citation and cited in the correct APA format in the Works
Cited page set at the end of
the outline, separated by a page break.
7. TIME LIMIT: Your Persuasive speech will be 5 – 7 minutes
in length, delivered
extemporaneously with your outline/notes only, no sheets of
paper-use note card size
4x6. YOU MUST TURN IN A TYPED-FULL SENTENCE
PREPARATION OUTLINE
WITH REFERENCES BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO
GIVE YOUR SPEECH!!!

8. PREPARATION OUTLINE: The preparation outline and
speech format should
replicate the form and look of the sample.***** Remember, it
will include an
Introduction, Body, Conclusion, and list of 4-6 References in
APA format (cited in-text
and within the Work Cited list at the end). The outline format
must be labeled and
look exactly like the example provided including all headings.
It is recommended
that you should begin with an essay/manuscript draft of the
speech to use
when filling in the outline.
REMEMBER, a sample is provided and your submission should
replicate (LOOK JUST
LIKE) the sample provided. This includes spacing, tabbing, and
alignment. Failing to
follow the example can result in a deduction in points.
*****NOTE: If you give your speech and your Preparation
Outline has not been turned in,
your speech loses one point per day until your outline is
submitted.
9. ACADEMIC SUBMISSION STANDARDS: All documents
should be typed and
submitted as a Word document within MLA/APA standards. At

a minimum, the pages
should have one-inch margins, double-spacing, font should
12pt. and in either Arial or
Times New Roman Font ONLY. There should be no
grammatical or spelling errors.
Grammar and Spelling errors will result in a loss of points up to
10% of the total points.
10. SAVING FILES: Saved files should be labeled with the
owner’s name and assignment
name. For example: Williams_Terry_Informative_Speech_URL
11. ATTIRE: Both online and in the classroom, you must dress
professional in business
casual clothing. Hats, hoodies, blue jeans, t-shirts, shorts, or
other casual attire worn will
result in a 5% points penalty.
12. ONLINE CLASSES AUDIENCE: For online classes: Your
speech assignment requires
you to record the speech in front of an audience of 4 people,
and you must show the
audience at the beginning and end of your video. The video
must show a clear view your

face and must have audible sound that can clearly be heard with
limited camera
movement. Limit background noise as it can distort your
delivery and cost you points for
poor delivery audio quality. Check lighting to make sure the
video is not too dark and the
camera does not move during recording. You must talk about
and show your PowerPoint
(informative and persuasive) or Visual Aid (special occasion)
during your speech to
receive credit for the PowerPoint in the Delivery and grade. A
lack of audience for
speech delivery will result in up to a 20% points penalty.
FINAL NOTE: ALL SPEECHES ARE DELIVERED FROM A
STANDING POSITION.
Speeches delivered from a seated position will lose a letter
grade in points.
13. ONLINE CLASSES SPEECH SUBMISSION: Upload your

speech to YouTube and
provide the speech link in the Blackboard forum for the week
the speech is due.
Make sure your YouTube account is set to allow only those with
a link to your speech to
view it. You will have peer reviews to complete as assignments
as well, so we all need
access to the speech videos.
14. SPEECH SCORING: Lastly, all speeches are mandatory and
required to pass the
class. This speech is worth 100 points total.
15. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!
16. LATE SUBMISSION: Speeches and assignment deadlines
are mandatory and late
submissions/make-ups will only be allowed when there was
previous arrangement made
with the instructor or if there is documentation, the situation
was urgent.
DETAILS in Review:
• 5 – 7 timed minutes – 100 points

• General purpose: to persuade
• Speech method: extemporaneous
• Required: Full-Sentence Typed Preparation outline with
reference list in APA
format, 3 different sources – 20 points
• Required: At least 1 visual aid (one must be a PowerPoint).
• Online videos must show the audience at the beginning and
end of the video.
TOPIC:
When working with your topic, consider the following
requirements:
• You will provide the audience with FACTS and data on a
specific global issue
that you have THOROUGHLY researched in addition to your
opinion. But the
speech as a whole is not solely based on your opinion, and you
must use no less
than 4 academic credible sources. This IS the time to persuade
the audience how
to get rid of the problem and take a stance on the issue explored
in detail in your
informative speech.
NOTE: if you did not have enough research or main points (3)
in the Informative
speech, you will need to make up for the lack of material in this
speech.

• You will cite at least 3 sources during your speech (2% points
deduction for
each missing minimum source or lack of verbal/written
citation).
• Failure to address the topic from a global perspective will
result in a 50% points
loss. Notably, the US national perspective should only comprise
25% of the
total of the speech content to be truly global in presentation and
perspective.
• The topic should be a global issue from the provided list you
feel people need to
know more about or have general misinformation on. This topic
must be
approved by the instructor.
OUTLINE SUBMISSION FORMATTING:
When submitting written work for the speech, the following
requirements apply,
• You should use Arial or Times New Roman font
• Your font should be size 12 ONLY

• Your work should have a header identifying the student,
course, and
assignment
• Your work should be in APA formatting
• All work must be cited from the sources (plagiarism will
result in
a 50% points deduction.
• All sources MUST ALSO be verbally cited in the speech (2%
points
deduction for lack of sources or citation)
• Proper Grammar/Spelling required (10% points deduction)
• Follow the sample formatting for proper credit.
EFFECTIVE VERBAL SPEECH DELIVERY POINTERS:
• Make eye contact with the entire audience (don’t just read
from your notes or
read from your PowerPoint presentation)
• Vary your pitch (work on how much excitement you have in
your voice and
avoid sounding monotone)
• Cite your sources after you state a fact, statistic, or story. Say,
“according to the
Drug Enforcement Administration website…” or “…as stated by
Dr. John Doe, the
founder of the Medical Institute.”

• Stand up straight
• Use gestures to reinforce your message
• Relax and breathe
• Work on using transitions between ideas. Don’t just state the
title of the
PowerPoint slide you are talking about as your transition.
Instead, say, “Finally,
it is important to know…” or “The next area of interest for this
topic is…”
• Pause at the beginning and end of your speech. Don’t start
your speech by
saying, “good morning. My name is and I will be talking
about
.” Instead, tell us an interesting fact, statistic, or story and
then introduce your topic. We already know your name as it
should be listed on
the first slide on your PowerPoint.
• Come prepared with copies to class (or submitted in
Blackboard for online
students) by the due dates: your preparation outline, sources and
visual aid.
Refer to the book and assignment instructions for information
on each.
• Appeal to the audience’s social, biological, and psychological
needs and
wants
• Test your technology before the day of your speech.
• You must speak with passion!!! Think Barrack Obama or MLK

Jr. during his “I
have a dream” speech.
• Please see the following Preparation Outline examples and
grade sheets.
(Don’t forget the header!) (The format below is your guideline
for the Prep Outline)
PREPARATION OUTLINE
(Instruction Note, you should have a draft essay manuscript of
your speech completed first,
you can then pull the appropriate sentences into the Preparation
Outline. An
essay/manuscript will not be graded or accepted instead of the
preparation outline)
Topic: Topic Name (Instruction Note to Student: Topic picked
from the approved list
provided and approved by instructor.)
Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about… (Instruction
Note to Student: This
statement is not stated in the speech, it is the goal you set for
yourself in presenting the topic.)
Central Idea/Position Statement: The sentence describes the

topic and your position on the
topic and its importance. (Instruction Note to Student: Note,
this sentence begins with the
topic and contains NO personal pronouns to start.)
Main Points: Speech organized into 3-5 main points listed here
by number. (Instruction Note
to Student: Suggest you have three main points that are well
organized and in logical pattern.)
I. INTRODUCTION
(Instruction Note to Student: Your goal here is to draw us into
your speech…start your
speech: it will include an Attention Getter, a sentence defining
and describing the topic to the
audience, a sentence telling them your purpose for the speech
and why it should be relevant
to them, a statement on your part explaining your credibility,
the central idea sentence, and
close the introduction with a preview statement of the main
points.)
A. Attention Getter: Wake the audience up! (Instruction Note to
Student: This
step helps us focus our attention on you and your message. It
is suggested that you begin with a story, quote, statistic,
definition, use of suspense, etc. Never begin with, "Hi I am
and today I am going to talk about .")
B. Introduce YOURSELF: (Instruction Note to Student: After

you have finished the
attention getter now is the time to introduce yourself. We
need to know who you are to relate to you better.)
C. Relevancy Statement: (Instruction Note to Student: This is
important! – Let the
audience know why they need to know your information or
why it is important to listen (AKA audience motivation))
D. Credibility Statement: (Instruction Note to Student: Share
why you as a speaker
can speak on this topic. Establish that you have done
extensive research from expert sources, with knowledge,
trustworthiness, competency and objectivity on the
issue/topic.)
E. Position Statement: (Instruction Note to Student: State your
Central Idea here.
The central idea of the speech, much like the claim or main
argument of an essay. Note, this sentence begins with the
topic and contains NO personal pronouns to start.)

F. Preview of Speech:(Instruction Note to Student: Tell them
what they will learn,
share your main points (Here summarize your speech in one
sentence and continue by previewing the main points of the
speech):
Today, I will tell you first, ,
second, and finally, .
Connective Link: NOW that we've covered , let's go to .
(Instruction Note to Student: Or something MORE CREATIVE
WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
Use as creative approach with the connective links if you'd like!
Just remember that your
transitions need to review your last point AND preview your
next point. They show a
connection and are a good time to remind the audience why this
information is important.
(Connective Link here precedes the Body of Speech and one
will then precede each main
part of the speech)
II. BODY (The majority of the speech goes here… - should
be 2/3 of the whole)

Main Points:
A. NEED STAGE: What is the problem that must be solved?
1. Prove to the audience that the issue exists and that it is a
serious problem that
must be solved.
2. Why does this issue/problem exist?

Connective Link: We've covered , NOW let's move to .
(Instruction Note to Student: Again, use a more creative
approach with the connective links
if you'd like! Just remember that your transitions need to review
your last point AND preview
your next point. They should not be repetitive but show a
connection. (precedes Satisfaction
Stage_Main Point 2) –
B. SATISFACTION STAGE: States or answers: what are the
