2.)WHATS SPECIAL ABOUT THESE SPEECHES ? -DISCUSSION
Make the learners read the excerpts given in the text.
• What type of speeches are these?
• Pick out the lines that are repeated in these scripts?
• Why do you think these lines are so popular?
• What do you like about them?
• What is it that motivates you, or speaks to you the most?

3.)Do you have to make a "speech" or persuasive argument daily---To parents,teachers or peers?

TEACHER INPUT(FROM HANDBOOK)
Persuasive speaking is the most commonly used type of speaking. This
type of speech can involve everything from arguing about politics to talking
about what to eat for dinner. Persuasive speaking is very much connected to the
audience as the speaker must, in a sense, meet the audience halfway.
It is a specific type of speech in which the speaker has a goal of convincing
the audience to accept his or her point of view. The speech is arranged in such
a way as to hopefully cause the audience to accept all or part of the expressed view.

4.) Initiate a discussion on the importance of getting our ideas across in a powerful and persuasive manner.

• What makes a speech effective and impressive?

• Why do we deliver speeches to large audiences under serious or dramatic
circumstances?

• How far do the elements of good speeches help in our everyday communication ?

5.) Make the learners prepare a short persuasive argument or "speech". To
persuade the audience, the speaker should have self-confidence and a firm
belief in the topic.
[Present them with situations like---parents not allowing them to participate in youth festivals, etc.]

Now read the question given in the text and prepare the script of a persuasive SPEECH-Education is the Key to Women
Empowerment'

6 )TEACHER INPUT 

Persuasive speeches are designed to convince the audience of the speaker's
point of view.

A good persuasive speech has an opening statement that grabs interest, evidence
that establishes the speaker's credibility, and a conclusion that compels the listener to support the speaker's position.

Persuasive speaking involves emotions; it carries a heavy ethical burden and is,
therefore, different from informative speaking.

While preparing the script, remember to:
• get the attention of the audience.
• put yourself in the audience's shoes.
• use a simple structure.

The structure of a persuasive speech is grounded on three fundamentals:
identifying the need, providing a plan of solution, proving the practicality
of the solution.

• find an interesting way to start the speech.
• involve the listeners by relating your message to their interests and needs.
• ensure understanding by defining complex terms.
• build your persuasive efforts on a base of solid information.
• choose one of the two essential patterns of giving proofs:
- A point-by-point pattern when a convincing argument follows every
problematic statement.
- A specific point pattern when a statement is supported with arguments.
• help the audience remember your message by using creative, visual language.
• ask for a public commitment from the listeners.
• place them on the path to change by stirring deep feelings and connecting
them with powerful reasons.
• conclude with an inspiring sentence.

(Public Speaking by Michael and Suzanne
Osborn)
