Assignment Overview Writing a Persuasive Speech
You will state a claim clearly and use reasons and evidence from your research to support the claim. Make sure to address and rebut a counterclaim and to conclude the speech with a call to action.
The final draft will be scored by your teacher using the Write a Persuasive Speech Grading Rubric. Look at the rubric yourself (it is also in the last few pages of this document) so that you know how your writing will be scored.
Use these guidelines to help you create your speech:
Develop a strong introduction that grabs the audiences’ attention and introduces the argument with a clear, strong claim.
Present relevant reasons and evidence that directly support the claim.
Include at least three pieces of evidence from your research. Summarize or paraphrase your direct evidence.
Acknowledge a counterclaim. Rebut it with valid reasons and specific evidence. Highlight your counter-claim in yellow.
Create a conclusion that restates concisely your argument and your key points. Conclude with a call to action.
Use appropriate and effective persuasive language.
Use at least one rhetorical device such as parallelism, repetition, or hypophora, the strategy with which a speaker asks a question and then immediately answers it. Highlight your rhetorical device in blue.
Organize your information logically so that the audience can easily follow the argument.
Use word choice and tone that are appropriate for your audience and purpose.
