Since I don't know what your hobbies or interests are, my advice is to offer you a few suggestions to guide your thinking as to the choice of topics. In my experience, the best speech you can give is about a subject that: \n\na) you know very well, so that you will have some material to talk about for five minutes. Because this is a persuasive speech, you should think about at least three arguments that support your position on the subject. You may be able to come up with more than three but pick the three strongest ones and go with those. \n \nb) you feel passionately about, so that you will be persuasive. See a) above.  \n\nRemember, when you deliver your speech you become the expert on the subject. Your knowledge and passion about the subject are what will make you persuasive. \n\nSee if you can come up with a list of a few topics just by brainstorming about things that fulfill both criteria above. Then narrow it down to a subject that you feel you can write and talk about.\n   \nLastly, five minutes is not a very long time in terms of speeches, so you might want to practice your speech with a timer so that you can be sure to make it within the time limit. Practice also helps you memorize your speech so you won't need notes, in case you lose them.\n\nGood luck and have fun!

I am really not at all sure of what you're trying to say, but good communication skills are essential in any public endeavor. You have VERY limited skills in this area.

What's interesting to you may not be interesting to someone else.  So who is the speech going to be given to??  Think about the group you will be speaking to, then try to figure out what would be interesting to THEM (take into consideration things like their aprox. age group, their jobs, probably hobbies, etc.).  Good luck!

Be concise  and to the point. You could  simply state each KSA as  your open statements..

Speaking in a way that persuades the audience into believing your argument.  Usually "persuasive speaking" refers to a type of speech that you give, in hopes of getting the crowd to agree with your opinions.

i agree with you. campaigns have become a mud slinging contest, with no consideration of the publics need to hear a candidates standing on any given issue. lip service is given to the most popular subjects, but no real substance is contained in their rhetoric.

There are numerous topics you could cover. Here's some topics that you can start with for your speech (they're based on current events):\n\n- Gas Prices: Will they continue to go up or down?\n- Will we travel in Space like we travel in cars in the near future?\n- Will we have a republican in the White house as our next president?\n- Will we have books in the future or will everthing be on computers?\n- Will robots become our new pets?\n- How small will cell phones get?\n- What is the future of music?\n- Will human genetics be able to be changed in the future?\n- Will extraterrestrials ever visit earth?\n- Will the war end in Iraq?\n\nThese questions should help you to flesh out what you want to say. You'll need to do some research on the topics though, but they are broad enough topics to get you started on your speech.\n\nHope that helps!\n\n~JYH

Select a topic you are knowledgeable on already. \n\nIf you have a pet, you could tell how to feed and train it, when to take it to the vet, etc.\n\nIf you have a hobby, that would make a good topic - genealogy, collecting buttons, etc.\n\nPut a little humor into your speech - that will make it go over!\n\nHere is a site that lists some specific topics for an informative speech.\nhttp://personal.bgsu.edu/~ramune/infotopics.html

A persuasive paper, the conclusion should really just say the same thing as the introduction with a slightly more detailed or expanded argument.  Short and plain are usually strongest.  I say this but I really can't write them myself!
