Assignment: Group Persuasive Speech (155 points total)

Purpose:
The goal of this assignment is give you an opportunity to work together in a small group to persuade your audience about something in which you are interested or that you find important. This assignment is the capstone of your speaking assignments this semester, allowing you and your group to show the progress you’ve made as a speaker through a thoughtful, well-developed persuasive speech using Monroe’s Motivated Sequence.

Rationale:
This speech focuses on two important skills: working together in a small group and persuading your audience. In this presentation, you will have the opportunity to apply the small group communication skills discussed in Chapter 9 as you work with several (number left up to me) classmates to develop a persuasive speech. Effectively and ethically persuading an audience is a highly desirable skill. In our media and our everyday lives, we are exposed to persuasive appeals sometimes hundreds of times per day. Not all of these appeals are effective or ethical. A speaker who is able to persuade his or her audience has the power to change others’ attitudes, beliefs, actions, and sometimes even their values. However, persuading effectively and ethically isn’t always an easy task. Monroe’s Motivated Sequence is an organizational pattern that helps speakers motivate their listeners to take action.

Learning Objectives
Select and narrow the scope of an appropriate topic.
Effectively use and cite sources.
Develop clear purpose and thesis statements.
Employ Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (problem/solution pattern) to attempt to persuade your audience.
Construct a proper outline.
Create a speech with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Deliver a presentation using extemporaneous style.
Effectively synthesize information.
Enhance critical thinking skills.
Effectively and efficiently work in a small group.

Assignment
Working in a group, you will select an appropriately narrow, interesting topic for a 12-15 minute persuasive speech. You have a lot of freedom in terms of your topic, but it must be approved beforehand. Once your group has selected a topic, together you will prepare and deliver an individual persuasive speech. Practice to ensure that the presentation fits within the time frame. If your group is short or long in delivery, points will be deducted from your grade. If the presentation is over-time by 30 seconds, you will be asked to stop. Do not miss valuable points because you are not prepared. Being asked to stop not only results in a point deduction for going over the time limit but also deductions for the parts of the speech you did not get to present (e.g. the conclusion). See the point breakdown for guidelines for deductions.
The assignment is divided into four parts:

The Group Contract (20 points)
The group contract is the document that will govern how your group proceeds in the completion of the group persuasive speech. In this one page, single spaced document, your group needs to respond to the following questions:
• What is your group’s mission what are the group’s goals?
• What role will each person in the group take in this project? Be sure to include specific information about each person’s responsibilities.
• What are the norms and standards for communicating with one another during this process?
• How often will you meet?
• What is your goal for the timeline for this project?
• How will you evaluate group members’ performance during this project? See the group member feedback form for ideas.
Upon signing, group members agree to adhere to the norms, standards, and expectations explained in the document. I will take the contract into consideration when determining grades on the project. The contract itself will be graded on its specificity, detail, and coherence. See the point breakdown for more information.

Topic (10 points)
Groups must discuss topics with me. Topics should be submitted in paragraph form by the date listed on the course calendar. The paragraph should include the preliminary specific purpose and thesis statement for the speech.

Group Outline (25 points)
Each group will turn in a rough-draft outline for feedback by the date listed on the course calendar. In addition, on the day of the presentation, the group will submit a polished final draft of a full-sentence presentation outline complete with in-text citations of all required sources and a works cited list at the end. Please see the sample Monroe’s Motivated Sequence outline that appears after this assignment description.

Group Presentation (100 points)
Each member of the group is responsible for speaking for an equal amount of time during the 12-15 minute speech. The presentation should meet the criteria for the assignment listed below. Except in extremely rare circumstances, all members of the group will receive the same grade, so it is absolutely essential that you keep up with your individual responsibilities in this assignment and that all group members pull their weight in completing the presentation. Also consider what it is that you’re trying to persuade your audience to do or think. Attitudes and actions are often much easier to change than beliefs and values are.

Criteria

Time Limit
12-15 minutes, with each member of the group speaking for an equal amount of time. Please see the point breakdown for deductions for going over or under the time limit.

Delivery
This is group presentation and all presenters will use an extemporaneous delivery style. Points will be deducted for reading or memorizing the speech.

Research, Resources & Citations
You are required to cite a minimum of ten sources, only five of which may be internet sources. The sources should be from publications within the last 10 years and must be cited completely and accurately during your speech (verbally), in your outline, and on your reference page, using proper MLA or APA style. You should use a variety of sources such as: the internet, books, periodicals, statistics, expert testimony, journals, etc.

Notes During Speech
Each speaker may have 3 note cards (which can be the standard 3×5 size or another of your choice.) If you are reading your presentation, points will be deducted from the delivery portion of the presentation grade.

Visual Aid
You will need to prepare a professional visual aid for this speech. Some types of visual aids are: objects/models, people, drawings, photographs, maps, graphs, charts, videotapes, computer programs/images, your body (requires approval beforehand.)

Guidelines for Preparing Professional/Effective Visual Aids
The main goal is to make your visual aid easy to see and understand; keep it simple. It is imperative that you practice with your visual aid, maintain eye contact with the audience while using it, and offer explanation for the visual aid itself. Moreover, time your visual aid to coincide with your reference to it and try not to pass the visual aid around the room because it will prevent your audience from viewing it simultaneously. If using PowerPoint slides or other technology, make sure that you have prepared the document to work within your classroom with the devices provided (do not wait until the last minute or your presentation may not work, you might forget it, or it might not be compatible with the computer in the classroom.) Also, if the visual aid that you intended to utilize on your speech day does not work due to technical difficulties or other issues, make sure to have an alternate visual aid to use as back up.

A Few Other Points to Consider with Visual Aids
Visual aids should be easy to understand. Each visual aid should only make one point. If you’re using a visual aid with text, use as little text as possible or you will distract the audience. Visual aids will add credibility if they are neat, organized, and spelled correctly. Visual aids should be appropriate, demonstrate something, and not be distracting. A good visual aid doesn’t just list information: it makes a point. Your visual aid should blend into your speech.

Checklist for Presentation Day

• Outlines (both rough draft and final copy)
• Reference page/works cited page
• Copy of slides (if your group uses PowerPoint)
• Your group contract
• Note cards (turned in after you speak)

In addition, each group member should turn in their group evaluation forms individually to me.

Problems with Group Members
It is unlikely that you will have problems with your group members. Everyone should recognize that group members are interdependent for a grade in this situation. A group member who does not pull his or her weight risks imperiling everyone else’s grades on the assignment. That being said, occasionally, there will be a problem with a group member. If that is the case, the group must first attempt to communicate with the person causing the problem. If the person does not show up for a meeting or respond to e-mails about the problem, the group may then seek my assistance and I will meet with the group and attempt to mediate a solution to the problem. If the problematic group member continues to be a detriment to the group, I can/will make the decision to remove the member from the group. If that happens, the removed group member will receive a grade of zero for the presentation or the option of writing an alternative 15 page persuasive argument.
