PERSUASION SPEECH
Your job is to integrate persuasive theories and strategies into a single persuasive speech. You are not going to be telling us about the persuasive strategies, but will be giving us a speech to convince us why your topic is very important and should be chosen as one of the group topics. I will discuss specific persuasive outlines and post them on-line.
