Requirements & Evaluation Criteria:

1. A visual aid is required for this presentation. Practice with your visual aid ahead of time so it will fit smoothly into your presentation. See the Presentational Aids reading for types of visual aids you can use.
2. Your speech should be effectively organized following one of the organizational patterns discussed in Module 2, outlined following formal outline format, introduced and concluded.
3. Your speech should be supported with at least 6 pieces of supporting materials. Your examples, statistics, and quotations need to be cited in 1) your speech, 2) your speech outline, and 3) your bibliography. You must use a minimum of 3 DIFFERENT TYPES of sources, with a minimum of 4 total sources in your bibliography. Of these sources no more than 1 can be an interview. Be sure to: 1) verbally cite the original source of information (a data base like Wikipedia or Ebscohost is NOT a source, but a compilation from many sources) including WHO the source is and why they are qualified must be cited in your speech, 2) include APA or MLA in-text citations in your Preparation Outline where the supporting material from the source occurs, and 3) include an APA or MLA  Reference List. Remember to incorporate your sources and citations into your speech delivery (e.g. “Time reported in March, 2017, …).
4. Your speech should include stylized language and arresting images by using a minimum of 2 language devices discussed in Module 7 (metaphors, similes, alliteration, parallelism, antithesis, or repetition.) Label the language devices on your preparation outline.
5. You should utilize the audience analysis questionnaire in you created in Module 05 (with 2 fixed-alternative questions, 2 scale questions, and 2 open-ended questions – see text example on page 112) using Google Forms. A tally of your survey results and typed paragraph describing what you did in developing the speech to adapt to your audience must accompany the outline (you can make them all in one document to attach to your speech in Connect). You should plan to mention your survey results in your speech. 
6. Your preparation outline must be prepared and typed following formal outline format (see the 10 Rules for Outlining). You may request your instructor to review a draft copy of your outline ahead of time.
7. Your speech must be delivered extemporaneously from brief notes. Do NOT prepare a speech manuscript; do NOT memorize a manuscript. Be sure your note card is clear, concise, brief, and easy for you to see while delivering your speech.
8. Include both your Preparation Outline and Speaking Outline in the folder link you share from Google Drive to the assignment. See Guidelines for Recording & Submitting Speeches for more detailed instructions. NOTE: In order for your speech to count as “on time” you must submit both your Preparation Outline and your Speaking Outline at the time you submit your video and by the due date on the calendar.
9. Practice your speech several times before you deliver your speech in front of your audience. Check the timing to know what will fit in the 6-8 minute time limit and make cuts as necessary.
10. After you submit your speech video, you should watch your video again, and complete the Persuasive Speech Self-Evaluation. This counts as part of your speech grade.

You must have an audience of at least 6 people over the age of 16, including your camera operator. You should pan your audience before you begin your speech, begin your speech without stopping or splicing the video, then pan the audience again at the conclusion of your speech. Failure to have less than the required 6 audience members will result in failing the assignment.

This assignment is worth a possible 200 points. Evaluation criteria include: Clear Persuasive Proposition, Introduction, Motivational Appeals, Credibility Appeals, Supporting Materials, Use of Transitions, Content Development, Logical Organization, Conclusion, Delivery, Audience-Centeredness, and Outlines.
