Assignment – Persuasive Speech, Brainstorming

Over the next few weeks, you will be developing a Persuasive Speech.
Assignment You may chose any topic that interests you. The sky is the limit!
Once you have selected your topic, explore various points you wish to research and share. The intent is to teach your audience about something with no bias; just the facts.
You will submit a document which discusses your chosen topic and various points you may want to discuss in your speech. The organization of your points is not relevant at this point. This is a freestyle/brainstorming assignment that sets the foundation.
Should you choose to map your ideas out with activities such as clustering, then you may scan or take a picture of your work and submit it in lieu of a typed document.
