Chapter 18

1. Persuasive speeches aim to influence an audience by causing change in the ways they think, feel, act or believe. This influence can also reinforce existing positions.

2.The three pillars of proof:

A. ethos: credibility (trustworthy, committed, and knowledgeable)
a. initial credibility: expertise realized by presence before speech
("You're reputation proceeds you")
b. derived credibility: credibilty gained in addition to initial credibility during speech
( culmination of speech attributes: points, organization, tone, support)
c. terminal credibility: credibility at result of the speech
( combination of initial and derived credibililty- overall opinion of speaker's credibility)

B. pathos: emotional appeal (emotional stories or reasoning for beliefs, attitudes, and/ or actions)

C. logos: logical appeal (rational proof or arument with factual reasoning)
a. inductive reasoning: specific to broad ( make point than give reasoning)
b. deductive reasoning: broad to specific ( lead up to point with reasoning)

Ideal Organization

A. intro: capture attention, thesis statement, establish credibility, and preview speech
B. body: internal summaries of main points, smooth transitions
C. conclusion: summarize main points, strong closing statement, clincher

Persuasive notes

Persuasive Speech notes
I will have more from the book later!!!


Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when formatting your persuasive speech.
1. Make sure that your outline and therefore your speech is either inductive or deductive. (Yes, you have to turn in your outline prior to giving the speech. Highlight your main persuasive idea.)2. I will be looking for examples of ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional appeal), and logos (logical reasoning) in your speech and outline. You will demonstrate these proofs in your content, posture/ appearance, and speaking.
3. Remember that persuading does not necessarily mean changing minds. Persuading can mean enhancing present ideas or perhaps introducing a new way to look at something. Remember: "Breakfast Club as a cultural film".
4. Practice your speech. Try to avoid the "ums" and "likes". Make sure that you capture your audience. Stay within the time limits of 4- 6 min. I will cut you off.
5. Make sure that you have an introduction and a conclusion. Everyone must have a powerpoint!!!
6. Lastly, KEEP IT CLEAN!!!! Posted by Brandy Reincke

Chapter 7

Here are the questions for chapter 7
.1. There are many social communities in our society. Give some examples.
2. What is a culture system? What defines your culture? Why and how is it different from your neighbor?
3. How does communication affect culture? Be specific.
4. What are the components of culture?
5. Define the following concepts: invention, diffusion, cultural calamity
6. To improve communication between cultures we must resist ethnocentric bias or judging other cultures against our own as if our culture is superior. Another way is to recognize that improving communication between cultures is a process. There are five specific attributes, what are they and how do they work?

The Last of the Speech Notes

Classes, when creating your outline for Tuesday, remember this structure:

Outline: (make sure it is typed and your sources are listed!!!)

I. Introduction (perhaps a question or preview of speech) INCLUDE THESIS STATEMENT!!!
II. Main Point #1
A. sub point
B. sub point
C. sub point
(perhaps transition)
III. Main Point #2
A. sub point
B. sub point
C. sub point
(perhaps transition)
IV. Main Point #3
A. sub point
B. sub point
C. sub point
( perhaps transition)
V. Conclusion: tie it up and restate thesis/ introduction


Note: Avoid language in conclusion such as: " That's it" or "That's all I got" or " I' m done"
Remember: You may have more subpoints than 3, but not less unless you check with me.

Other stuff that I noticed on your proposals:

1. remember your time: 3-5 minutes!!! Plan accordingly, PRACTICE!!!
2. Follow the outline, this will focus your speech!!
3. Consider the audience, you will want their attention!! DO NOT OFFEND!!! I will stop anyone in midspeech if communication becomes offensive to anyone!!!
4. Make sure you have a powerpoint presentation unless you have checked with me!!!
5. You must have 3 reliable sources, a simple photograph does not equal one source!!!
6. Stay away from coming off persuasive, stay informative!!!!
7. Make sure that you have three main ideas that make sense and can be elaborated on. Again, the outline should help with this!!

We will work through the fine tuning on Thursday!! This is one of those MANDATORY DAYS!!!!

Here are the final notes for the speech.
