Reminders...

1. Make sure to include the old and new outlines in your folder with your writing assignment for the persuasive speech.

2. Bear in mind these things when you are developing your speech:

-thesis (main point, three specific support points)
- include a video clip and media perspective
- do not assume a "common perception" use support
- Consider the difference and appropriateness of an inductive (specific to general) vs deductive (general to specific) speech. If the topic is controversial, use deductive not to alienate your audience. If your topic is unfamiliar, use inductive to explain the topic)
- include opposing views!!
- Strong and credible support (lots of ...according to... I found this.... etc)
- identify and portray a personal stake
- comparisons are inherently persuasive (check out more options in chapters11-14--check blog pots)
- be responsible in your persuasion, do not offend...that includes me.
- Stay familiar and consider your audience's collective frame of reference
- stay on track and avoid random fact telling.

3. Make sure to check out the blackboard downtimes to ensure you are able to take your test and remember time constraints. (cut and paste in word if need be...do not attach essay answers.)
