Persuasive Speech

Speech # 2

ATTENTION ALL PERSUASIVE SPEAKERS

To persuade is to advocate, or to ask others to accept your viewpoint. The success in

persuasive speaking requires attention to what motivates your listeners. The most important

goals of a persuasive speaker are to influence the attitudes, beliefs, values, and acts of others.

Here Is Your Assignment

Partners will follow the same format as Speech # One ( You all are required to hand-in

the draft with outline/ make revisions and hand-in a final speech with outline on the day

that you all delivery the speech/review monthly outline for deadline)

Within each partnership, you all will decide the format of each speaker; however, you all

are required to share equal time in the delivery process

SAMPLE OUTLINE FOR SPEECH

I. Introduction

A. Greeting: Good afternoon, my name is Dana Radford and my name is Jessica

Wilder

B. Attention Getter: We hope the sounds of Bob Marley’s One Love song has put

you in calm and relaxing mood. Because today we want to talk about legalizing

marijuana. Did you know according to the survey taken in this class 100% of the

class agree with us. However, 6% of the class feels it should only be legalized for

medicinal purposes (Radford/Wilder). Today we hope to show the 6% of you the

benefits of legalizing marijuana across the board.

C. Standpoint: my partner and I strongly feel marijuana should be legalized in the

Unites States for economic and medicinal purposes.

II. Body

A. The Huffington Post Information

B. Wordpress.com Information

III. Conclusion

Closing Argument & Standpoint: there are so many different ways marijuana can be

used to help. From boosting our economy to helping individuals with chronic pain

there seems to be many benefits of legalizing marijuana. We hope that the 6% of you

in the class who only think it should be legalized for medicinal purposes will consider

our point of view. Like we stated before we strongly feel marijuana should be

legalized in the United States for medicinal and recreational purposes. Thank you.



SAMPLE OF SPEECH/DRAFT TIME: 1:46

D: Good Afternoon My name is Dana Radford

J: And my name is Jessica Wilder

D: We hope the sounds of Bob Marley’s One Love song has put you in a calm and relaxing

mood because today we want to talk about legalizing marijuana.

J: That’s right, my partner and I strongly feel marijuana should be legalized in the United

States for economic and medicinal purposes.

D: Hey Jessica, did you know according to the survey taken in this class 100% of the class

agree with us. However, 6% of the class feels it should only be legalized for medicinal

purposes. Today we hope to show the 6% of you the benefits of legalizing marijuana

across the board.

J: We feel by legalizing marijuana, we would free up our law enforcement to work on

tracking hard crimes and criminals, while helping the economy by taxing the drug. The

Huffington Post states that by legalizing marijuana the United States would generate

about $20 billion per year; from the year 2000-2010 the United States spent $211 million

on enforcing marijuana laws (Miron).

D: Wow Jessica that’s really good information to know but, imagine your family member

with cancer and in constant pain. According to Wordpress.com the major benefits of this

herb are that it can kill pain of any intensity in a few minutes or sometimes hours.

Usually marijuana therapy is given to the patients suffering from AIDS, cancer, glaucoma

and many other chronic diseases (Wordpress.com).



J: Yes Dana you’re right, there are so many different ways marijuana can be used to help.

From boosting our economy to helping individuals with chronic pain there seems to be

many benefits of legalizing marijuana.

D: We hope that the 6% of you in the class who only think it should be legalized for

medicinal purposes will consider our point of view. Like we stated before, we strongly

feel marijuana should be legalized in the United States for economic and medicinal

purposes. Thank you.
