Overview
You will persuade your audience (the class) to be interested/motivated to purchase a product or to change their mind (or take action) on a social issue. If persuading to purchase a product, here are the guidelines:
- real (something we can see and touch)
- legal
- be able to purchase online or in a local store
- current retail price- $1 to $500 US
- not anything living, like a pet, etc.
- not a weapon of any kind
- not a drug, alcohol, etc.
- nothing distasteful or potentially offensive to others
- do not persuade the audience to support your product.
- no services or giftcards
- OUTLINE - You will turn in a complete sentence outline. This mean you will have full sentences, not phrases or bullets.
- REFERENCES - You should have a minimum of three credible references in your bibliography (APA format). At least one reference needs to come from a peer-reviewed source. You will orally cite at least one of these during the delivery of your speech. In APA, every reference must have a matching in-text citation and if you have an in-text citation, it needs to be on your reference page.
