Speech Communication: Persuasive Speeches

With a Persuasive paper or speech you need to research both sides of your argument. Be sure to THINK CRITICALLY while doing research.....

• To be fair
• To truly think critically about the topic
• To gain understanding of the opposing side
• To effectively respond to the opposing side
• To increase your “cred” with opponents (and your instructor!)
• To be sure that you really know what you believe and why!
