My Next Speech
The main points of my persuasive speech are: teenage pregnancy has several causes and continues to rise in many areas, there are many ways to prevent teenage pregnancy, there are many benefits if we choose to do these solutions, and the consequences of not preventing teenage pregnancy are crucial to the lives of teenagers and the people around them. I plan on beginning my speech with a picture of the main character of the popular show “The Secret Life of The American Teenager”. Although this show is not a reality show, it does resemble what many pregnant teenagers must go through and it will make an excellent attention getter. Hopefully I will be able to incorporate my acknowledgment of different perspectives on teenage pregnancy in the beginning as well. I will persuade my audience by using surprising statistics and different narratives. I will attempt to use vivid language in my narratives so that the audience can get a sense of the turmoil that pregnant teenagers must go through.

Hi Piper,
ReplyDeleteI think you have great ideas for your next speech that will definitely be very persuasive. For example, I think the picture from the main character of The Secret Life of The American Teenager is a good idea because it does resemble what a lot of pregnant teens go through so that will be very relevant to your topic. I think vivid language and narratives will help the audience to relate to what you are topic whether it's personally or they know someone else that went through what you are talking about. I am very anxious to hear your speech as I think it will be very important information that everyone should hear (whether you're male or female).
Hello Piper! It sounds like you have some good points here. Make sure you prepare the outline in Monroe's Motivated Sequence. Read my blog from 4/29. :)
