Form a persuasive outline you expect will change audience members’ beliefs, attitudes, values, and/or behaviors. Matters of ethics are important in every type of speaking, but especially when trying to change your audience members through persuasion.
You have a choice in this speech between changing people’s thoughts (beliefs, attitudes, or values) or their behaviors. While the two goals may overlap (that is, you might have to change someone’s perceptions in order to convince that person to change behavior), they are sometimes separate. The speech should clearly be a claim of value, fact, or policy.
You should consult a variety of sources, such as newspaper articles, magazines, peer-reviewed academic journals, books, and websites. You should include an APA formatted reference page with your outline.
This should be a detailed outline for a persuasive speech.
