I don't understand, what is it about eagles that you need to persude your audience to accept, or endorse, or believe?
So I'll just assume that your assignment is to write an "inspirational" speech on eagles.
Other than the vagueness of your objective, a speech is composed of three rudimentary parts:
1) Tell the audience what you are going to tell them.
2) Then, tell them.
3) And, finally, tell them what you just told them.
These 3 parts are:
1) The Introdcution.
2) The Body.
3) The Summary/Conclusion.
You can talk about the unique characteristics of the eagle. Its "eagle eye" and keen and acute sense of vision. Its graceful elegance and enormous wing-span. The lofty heights that it can soar up to. You can touch on mating and giving birth and the types of prey it will feed it young. Perhaps statistics on how many rare American Bald Eagles there are in the U.S.
I would definitely include some famous poetic quotes about the fearless eagle, and even metaphorical quotes from Sacred Writings describing the majesty of this great winged pretator.

What do you want to persuade your readers to do in reference to eagles? Is it to protect their them and their habitats, because certain ones are endangered species? If so, then go from that angle. I don't know what grade you are in, or how old you are. Is this for a Science class? Language Arts? You really did not provide enough information, but I will give you just a few general tips that would apply to any kind of essay writing.
Introduce your topic with some facts about the eagle - here you can use actual data. You should include your source. ("According to blah, blah blah,....".) In that opening paragrah, present three reasons why you feel eagles should be protected. Your opening should be a strong, well-constructed paragraph that will "hook" the reader and make him or her want to continue reading.
In the next three paragrahs, focus on the reasons, one at the time, that eagles should be protected. Present a strong argument, as your goal is to persuade your reader to agree with you, or at least to look at your argument in a different light and consider its validity. Use transition words for each new paragraph. Examples are "Next," "In addition," "Secondly," etc.
End with a closing paragraph in which you emphasize your stand again, then briefly mention your reasons.
Throughout your essay, keep your writing focused. Make sure your capitalization, punctuation, and grammar is on target. Watch your sentence structure - no fragments or run-on sentences. Use the Spell Check on your computer, a dictionary, and a thesaurus.
Your final paper should be neatly written, if in pen or pencil; it should be perfect with no errors or typos if written on computer.
Sound like a lot of work? It is. How do I know? I'm an English teacher! Good luck. Go for that A! As an afterthought, Google in "Persuasive essay writing," and you may get some additional information or be able to read an example of persuasive writing.
