Any good persuasive speech topic's for a public speaking class?

You'll have to figure it out for yourself, you can't persuade people on a topic you are not 100% convinced of.  You can try picking up a newspaper or magazine and reading stories and thinking about your personal opinion and/or choices on what is going on around the world.

I think a great how to speech is to show how to make origami.  It can be a little confusing to explain but if you're up for the challenge and pick something not too difficult, I think the class will like that.  Another idea would be to make something they could eat but it wouldn't require baking or cooking. Some treat like trail mix would be cool.  Good luck!

Please give us a little more detail. For example, what government are you talking about? What is your speech trying to prove? What are the criteria? As a general guideline, if you are writing this to persuade, then make sure you have some persuasive elements in you speech. Such as appeals (rational, emotive etc).

I am a bit confused on what you are asking. But i will give an answer to my best ability. In preparing for a class discussion, first of course you need to pick a topic. A topic that you think will be interesting to the class as well as yourself because you have to talk about it. If you have a topic or an idea that is great. If not you might want to relate this discussion to what you are talking about in class if relevent. After getting the topic, do a bit a research on it; know pros and cons about it as well as any other addtional important facts and or information that can help you in having people think you know what you are talking about. LOL Be sure to practice starting the dicussion as well as the information you researched. \n  For the next day, dont worry and be confident in yourself. Good luck!!

TALK SHOW\n\n(Subject: Local Problems & how to sole them)

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.

anything that really fires you up.  If it is interesting to you, the speech will be outstanding

An easy one for the music topic would be to do it about how classical music affects the growth of plants or if it doesnt. For the dog topics it could be to reasearch about whether its true that their mouth is cleaner than the human mouth ( dont know why you would want to do that....but...anyways) . Another topic  saw once in a science fair was something with the simple atom. For the Atom one you can make an atom display and can explain about it and its importance and make a a poster about it too. Hope this gives you some ideas !! (seems easy ...na ? )

any topic of debate is going to be controversial, i would try gay marriage, capital punishment, abortion, legalization of marijuana (i had an english class that someone won for it once), school uniforms, prayer in schools, evolution, just to name a few. a great series is taking sides (i think) it has the viewpoints and different ideas for that sort of debate.

******************************************************\nI always used to pick topics that fit these two rules:\n******************************************************\n1) Something that I'm passionate about (or something I knew a lot about)\n\n2) Something that can be illustrated with pictures or brought into class.  \n\nI never failed to get an "A" with those two rules in mind when picking a topic.\n\nA website I found years after I went to school and college says pretty much the same thing, but is an excellent resource for how to make the best presentation you can.  This info is worth it's weight in gold, believe me.

To give a truly great speech, you should pick a topic that you are really passionate about. When I taught, I always enjoyed the speeches that began with a question. They caught my attention and got me thinking about the topic immediately.\nRemember to do your research and present both facts and opinions. It's also good to sometimes argue both sides of the topic.\n~ Good Luck ~

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!
