The Persuasive Repertoire Speech Rubric

Objectives:

• Construct an applicable thesis, plan and organize its construct, research existing and new ideas for its support.
• Create Impact with visual still and motion information.
• Grab your audience’s attention.
• Analyze your audience, hopefully whatever the context.
• Identify effective speech through frequent critique and revision, rehearsal and delivery to realize a polished performance.

Description:
Write, research, organize and visually supplement two speeches, one a motivational persuade and the other an ideological persuade. Develop appropriate cognitive and/or affective appeals for each presentation. Choose one to present to the class and the other to present to an audience outside of class.


Document the performance of your other persuasive presentation through distribution, collection and assessment of your own speech rubric by summarizing the results and emailing them to me. 


These will be your “hip pocket” speeches, presentations you will eventually be able to give spontaneously with or without visual integration.
