Persuasive Speech

This will be a 57 minute persuasive speech in which you will present a problem in society and convince us that your solution can solve the problem. You will need to use persuasive language and strong sources to accomplish this. This speech is worth 100 points.

Caution: Your speech will be more effective if you choose an issue that you actually care about. You will automatically come across as more passionate and concerned. Choosing a local topic also helps. Try to stay away from overused topics such as abortion, the death penalty, etc. Some topic suggestions might include recycling, arts in the schools, spaying/neutering pets, organic foods, etc.
