Just find something you are very captivated or interested in and make it narrow enough so that the structure can be branched off to create organisation. its not about what you talk about, its all about how you talk about. if im right about this speech criteria. many things are argueable* \n~spence ; )

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.

Here are some more thoughts ....\n\nMake sure you project your voice, and make your voice interesting and expressive. Speak clearly, and slower than you would if you were just chatting with friends. Don't move around while speaking - try to stand in one spot, which makes it easier for those listening. Don't fidget. Try to use some humor. Use an ice breaker for the beginning of your presentation. One good one is to get everyone to tell something they have done that they think no one else in the room has done. You find out lots of interesting stuff about the group. Start on time and finish on time. Get their attention - don't try to talk over a lot of noise. Find ways to involve them - try to plan some activity that will teach them something and that will fit well in your time frame. Dress in a manner that suits your topic.\n\nI hope this helps.

Writing a Persuasive Essay.\n\nIn persuasive writing, a writer takes a position FOR or AGAINST an issue and writes to convince the reader to believe or do something.\n\nhttp://www.orangeusd.k12.ca.us/yorba/persuasive_writing1.htm\n\nIn persuasive or argumentative writing, we try to convince others to agree with our facts, share our values, accept our argument and conclusions, and adopt our way of thinking. \n\nhttp://www.studygs.net/wrtstr4.htm\n\nWriting Tips \n\nThis page contains a collection of tips for essay writing and editing.\n\nhttp://www.essaytoday.com/writingtips.shtml\n\nWriting a Persuasive Essay\n\nhttp://www.cerritos.edu/fquaas/resources/English100/persuade.htm\n\nProblems in Writing Persuasive Essays: No Opinions.\n\nhttp://modena.intergate.ca/personal/gslj/noopinions.html\n\nWriting a Persuasive Essay\n\nIn a persuasive essay you are going to try to convince the reader that your point of view is best.  To accomplish this, you must chose a topic which is clear and to the point and one which has more than one side that can be debated.  It is important that you understand the other sides of the position so that you can give strong reasons why your way is best.  In your essay, you will only present one side.\n\n Like all kinds of five paragraph essays, there is a specific format to be followed.\n\nhttp://www.susq-town.org/byer/New%20Reading%20Themes/writing_a_persuasive_essay.htm\n\nDefinition: Persuasive writing works to convince the reader that a point of view is valid or persuades the reader to take specific action. It is based on a topic that is limited in scope, manageable, and debatable; a topic about which there could be more than one point of view. \n\nhttp://coolschool.k12.or.us/courses/101100/lessons/persuasive.html\n\nBasic Structure\n\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/\n\n\nFREE ESSAYS and LETTERS.\n\nfree online resource for students of literature.\n\nhttp://www.freeessays.cc/free-essays-listing.shtml\n\nhttp://www.mytermpapers.com/\n\nhttp://www.123helpme.com/\n\nhttp://www.cyberessays.com/\n\nhttp://www.allfreeessays.com/\n\nhttp://www.bgfl.org/services/foi/templates.htm\n\nhttp://uk.geocities.com/essays4free2000/index.html\n\nhttp://www.megaessays.com/\n\nhttp://www.midlandit.co.uk/education/index.htm\n\nhttp://www.thepaperexperts.com/personale\n\nhttp://www.freeforessay.com/\n\nhttp://members.tripod.com/\n\nhttp://www.academicdb.com/\n\nhttp://www.4freeessays.com/\n\nhttp://mrbraiman.com\n\nhttp://uk.geocities.com/essays4free2000/index.html\n\nGood luck\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

1. Turn your speech into an outline\n2. Make it really short and to the point\n3. Turn each outline item into one 3x5 card, where your notes should be large and highly legible.\n4. Practice, practice, practice. In fact, practice at least 3 times.\n5. Time yourself. You will make more impact if you come up to the audience and said something like, "I am going to spend less than four minutes to tell you about..."

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!

If you want to get people's attention and/or probably make some of them mad, you should do a speech on the "wedge" issues (as Lou Dobbs calls them) between Republicans and Democrats, environmental issues, lowering the drinking age, abortion, foreign policy, drugs legal/illegal. Another thing is to find an issue that is at least semi-interesting within your local/state community, like something in the news perhaps, or an on going problem, or why to outlaw something, or make something into a law.

As a public speaking teacher for 30 years, I advise you to stay away from topics like abortion or Iraq.  They are overdone, too broad, and won't keep the interest of your audience - or else they'll be just plain angry if they disagree with you.\n\nI like "fun" topics for persuasion, such as either/or topics (Boxers or Briefs?  Chocolate or Vanilla?).  I also like topics of local controversy.  What's the hot topic around campus that people really care about?\n\nAny topic will keep your audience's attention if you choose your supporting information carefully.  Use anecdotes, humor, and a combination of logical and emotional appeals.
