how to write a speech of persuasion?

Question

my daughter has a speech of persuasion report to do for her 5th grade class on the 6th of april anyone have a website that will help her with ideas or does anyone have some ideas that she could work with i'm not trying to get her free help but this one is tough thank you

Answer 1

choose something that she is interested in and feels strongly about. the best speeches are ones where the speaker is speaking from the heart (i know it sounds corny) but its true

she can give a speech on anything she wants, like why a parent should get their child a pet, why a parent should introduce a child to religion/how they should do it, etc.

The best thing is to sit your daughter down and find out what she is interested in and how you can turn it into a topic.

another good topic that wont get too complicated is why people should go to college. stuff like that, it may be easier to pick a topic from her age group's point of view, which is why i suggested something like why a parent should get a child a dog or something.

it is a little easier for the audience to understand and relate to. You do not want to pick a topic too far above the childrens level of understanding, otherwise they will get lost and you rdaughter may have a hard time understanding what she is trying to persuade people.

Answer 2

to persuade you must use feelings, humour, anecdotes and questions. Use your own feelings and those of the audience. for example say: when x happens to me I feel - - - - - - - and put in a whole lot of emotive words that are strong and with which people can easily empathise. For example: say " yesterday I was at the busstop and happened to be a moment late behind the last person getting on the bus. The bus driver closed the door and roared off! I felt humiliated and angry. Have you ever had an experience like that? I sure hate those days! But then I feel better when - - - - " (and put in some positive stuff so they dont think youre a grouch! Appeal to the common feelings you have with your audience and they will agree with you on other stuff

Answer 3

For fifth grade, stay away from big national issues--the war, abortion, stem cell research, gay marriage, global warming, etc. Your daughter probably does not understand any of these issues well enough to do well.

Instead, choose a topic she is familiar with and has an opinion about. Bratz dolls are better than Barbie dolls, X television show is more interesting than Y, the school should (or should not) sell junk food, our class should go to X fun place (e.g. amusement park) rather than Y boring place (e.g. the state legislature) for its next field trip.

Now you want to give some facts to support your opinions. Be sure that you include facts and not just more opinions.

Bratz dolls are a lot more fun to play with than Barbie dolls. I remember that I received my first Barbie at the age of three. I ate her shoes and pulled her head off, but it was a lot of fun.

Barbie has been an icon of girls' toys for three generations now, first introduced in 1959. These dolls--blond hair, blue eyes, and the proportional equivalent of a forty-five inch bust have set a standard of beauty that few of us can ever attain.

Bratz dolls are fresh and new. They represent a new generation of girls--preteens like myself, not someone's older sister or mother. True, their dress is rather inappropriate for girls our age, but they represent fantasy, not reality. We all wish to to be popular, and we all are a little bit rebellious. No one takes them too seriusly, but they're a lot of fun.

So, if you're thinking of a present for your daughter's 10th birthday, think Bratz.

Answer 4

Have her choose something that she is passionate about----a magazine, a tv show, a book. a line of cosmetics, abrand of jeans, a favorite place for vacations, etc. She should head her outline: What it is, why she likes it, how does it make her feel, why others should buy it or do it, What the benefits of it are. This is just an example. Her title could be "Why everyone should visit-------"

Answer 5

Maybe you should help her find something to talk about that she feels passionately about . . .

or, if you're not really the parent, stop pretending to be and do your own homework.
