English Spe 7 Assignment
The primary goal of persuasive speaking is to convince the audience to accept your point of view. The speech is organized in such a way as to encourage the audience to accept all or part of the expressed viewpoint.
Using the persuasive speech outline created in Unit 6, incorporate the instructor and peer feedback to help create the speaking outline to use for the delivery of the persuasive speech. Then create a recording of yourself delivering the speech using recording software. Suggestions for recording software are found in the pdfs listed below and are available on the home page in the Assignment Tutorials tab under Academics. This assignment has three parts.
