Speaking for Change: A Persuasive Speech Project

In this project, you will create and deliver a persuasive speech on behalf of a historical figure who holds significance for you. Your speech should capture the essence of their important beliefs and ideas, articulated in the first person. Conduct thorough research to understand their life, contributions, and the causes they championed. This will involve creating a minimum of six note cards from various sources and incorporating rhetorical techniques to enhance your delivery. The project culminates in a recorded speech presentation featuring biographical slides, imagery, and your personal voice.

  1. Going Forward: From Research to Speech

  2. Why we’re doing this research.. • You are going to speak for your person in a speech, recorded on a computer (the written script should be 1 – 3 pages double spaced) • You are going to persuade others on a topic that you know is important to your person. • IMPORTANT: If your person has made a speech, you must NOT just paraphrase what he said himself. (Maximum of ONE quoted sentence of something famous he or she has said.)

  3. Step 1: ResearchResearch Pointers/Remarks • I will grade the research part by spot checking 2 or 3 cards of the SIX CARDS (MINIMUM) you should have • Each card must be connected to a single source • You must have two or more sources total in your bibliography (show cards)

  4. Research Pointers/Remarks (cont’d) • In addition to searching on your person’s name, search on things you find are important to him or her • For example, for Martin Luther King, the brief biography would tell he was involved with the MONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT, and was a leader in the NAACP and SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP ASSOCIATION. Search on all those topics.

  5. Step 2: Write the Script of Your Speech • Now that you know your historical figure well, you are going to SPEAK FOR HIM OR HER. • Write in FIRST PERSON on a subject you know he or she feels strongly about. You do NOT have to cite nor quote your research. • Use good writing techniques and 5 OR MORE RHETORICAL ELEMENT, which you should underline or high-light and label on print-out. • Due date for written speech: Wed, June 4th

  6. REMINDERS OF RHETORICAL DEVICES TO ADD (5 required) • Pathos • Logos • Comparisons: • Metaphor • Simile • Conceit • Analogy • Contrast • Personification • Alliteration • Oxymoron • Allusion • Antithesis

  7. REMINDERS OF RHETORICAL DEVICES TO ADD (5 required) • Repetition • Beginning of sentences (anaphora) • End of sentences (epistrophe) • Parallel structure • Rhetorical question • Anecdote

  8. Step 3: Record the Speech on the Computer • Begin with title slide (your name and person’s name) • Next have 2-3 slides with biographical facts. Here the information will be ON THE SLIDES in bullet format. • Optional extras: you could have music playing while the message is displayed. • You could tell where the speech takes place and the audience

  9. SPEECH REQUIREMENTS REVIEW • Next come the 4-8 slides that are pictures, photos, sketches, etc. that will show while you speak the person’s speech. • Here the words of the speech should NOT be typed onto the slides
