- Persuasive Speeches will now be due on April 12th
- This deadline will give you more time to research your chosen topic, conduct interviews or give surveys/questionnaires if needed, prepare your outlines in advance & rehearse your speech at least 3 or 4 times.
PLEASE NOTE: Those of you who have not turned in your self-critique of your Informative Speech, please do so on Tuesday, April 5th.
The following is the homework due on April 5th:
Establishing Credibility
Being able to establish a person's credibility is essential in a wide variety of persuasive speeches. To work on this helpful skill, select a person - an authority on any topic you'd like (perhaps on the topic you've chosen for your Persuasive Speech) - and develop a mini biography of this person that you might use in a speech to establish this person's competence, character & charisma.
- Remember, you would use the information about this person in your speech, so the mini biography should not be longer than 2 paragraphs.
- However, you will want to provide information that is pertinent to the topic and establishes the person's credibility through his/her competence, character & charisma.
