Public Speaking: Persuasive Speaking Tips
To give a strong persuasive speech, you'll need to follow a logical structure.To do this, use Terri's worksheet for conducting a persuasive argument.
All persuasive speeches require strong evidence, and strong evidence requires strong research skills. This page contains my research tips for students. At UVI, we have access to the Viewpoints database, and I encourage you to use this resource as you conduct your reseach. I've developed some tips for searching that database, here.
Finally, in order to construct a strong argument, you'll need to be familiar with the problems of logical fallacy. This is as good a guide for beginners as any I know.
