I had a friend who gave a speech to persuade people to not where mullets. You can talk about all the different types of mullets and interview a hairdresser about why no one should ever have a mullet, how it is unflattering. Anyway, just one idea. Good Luck

What do you feel strongly about, thats what the best persuasive speechs are about, if you care abotu somethign it won't be hard for you to try to persuade sombody for 5-8 minutes, do a little research to have some facts behind what you say, and you should be fine.\n\nYou may even try to check out some hot political topics - immigration is huge right now, the iraq war, and persuade for what you feel.  Death penalty has been done a million times, but thats always an idea

What are the reasons that they should not be doing this?  Write down a few words or phrases.\n\nThis should lead you to a slogan.  Remember that in posters, it's not only the slogan that sells the message, but also the graphics.\n\nGood luck!

We're doing persuasive speeches this week in my speech class.\n\nA word of advice from my teacher, she likes us to think "outside the box" so to speak. Aka: stay away from the really common subjects. Abortion, gay rights, war in Iraq. Most people have their minds make up completely about them, so it's a hard call.\n\nI've seen people in my class do speeches on why music majors shouldn't have to take biology, why gender selection is bad, why everyone should take a karate or self defense class, the possibilities are pretty much endless. I'm doing mine on why I think my dog's breed is the best dog breed. I was also juggling with why procrastination is bad but I need a visual aid so I can't pull that off. Just think outside the box. You can really make any subject work just as long as you take a side on it. \n\nGood luck to you! My professor says persuasion speeches are the most difficult.

Are you into iPods or other mp3 players?  Talk about DRM and whether or not companies should have the right to restrict what you can do with music that -you- have purchased.\n\nHmm ... or how about net neutrality ... school dress codes ... how about whether game players should buy a Nintendo Wii or a PS3 (if your speech teacher is nice enough to let you talk about something like that =), or whether or not games like 'Bully' or 'GTA' should be permitted ... talk about whether or not certain games (like *wince* dodgeball) should be banned in gym classes ... persuade people to adopt a pet from the pound rather than buying one from a breeder, or speak about whether or not sports like greyhound racing are okay ... persuade people to watch less TV (or heck, persuade 'em that they should all tune in and watch your favorite show) ... if there's a club you're in or a 'cause' in which you're particularly interested, talk about why other people should get involved with it too ...\n\nHmm, well, there are a few off the top of my head ... honestly, my biggest suggestion would be to pick something you're personally interested in - it makes -such- an immense difference, people tend to sound so much more interested (and thus to -be- more interesting!) when they're speaking about something they actually care about.  Good luck to ya =)

When i took speech last semester, I did my persuasive speech on 'Batman: Greatest Superhero of All Time' \n\nCould insert a different superhero if you don't like Batman- but my speech teacher LOVED this topic. \n\nI have a friend who (this semester) did hers, trying to convince ppl that Star Wars is a religion. I know, its nerdy, but people liked it because it was a nice change of pace.

Yeah, you can get some funny things on there.  For instance, try putting in the word "failure"!

introduction- sound engaging. convince your reader that your topic is an issue thats worth considering. clearly and strongly state your opinion. and try not to use a passive voice when doing this.\n\nbody paragraphs- give reasons to support your opinion. try to appeal to your audience. you can appeal to common sense, logic, emotion, ethics, etc. giving evidence is also a good idea. statistics work great. and if you can show that you did soe good research, im sure your teacher will love it.\n\nconclusion- if you like, give a quick summary of your reasons. state you opinion statement. and... a "call to action" where you are calling to the reader to take action and act on your opinion. when doing this, assume your reader strongly believes and agrees with your opinion and view on the issue.

First off, be current on any and all info in the news, around town, in the media, etc. Look for the irony in things, stories, comments or anything. Look at everything in and about life from many different perspectives and capitolize on the humor in it. Once you get enough material then work on your presentation and delivery. If you are comfortable with that then next try it out in a club on open mike night. Good luck!
