5 CHOOSING A TOPIC PERSUASIVE SPEECH HELPFUL HINTS 1. Choose something with which you are comfortable. 2. List several topics and issues of public interest. Think about your opinions on each topic. Choose the one that interests you the most and about which you have strong feelings. 3. Do not choose a broad topic. Try to choose something that is a contemporary problem. 4. Choose something that has plenty of information available to you. PRE-WRITE FIRST DRAFT RE-WRITE 1. Think about the audience to whom you are speaking. 2. Research the topic to find supporting facts. Take notes on data, quotes, stories, etc. that support your opinion. Remember to make note of your source. 3. Take note of opposing views and find data that will go against those views. 4. What does God s Word say about the subject? Are there specific passages that apply or is this an area in which the Lord gives us a choice? 5. Write a clear thesis statement (statement of your opinion). Be sure to include the words should or should not. 1. Write an attention-grabbing introduction. Start off with a startling fact/statistic or a heart-wrenching story. Make sure to end your introduction with your clear thesis statement (statement of opinion). 2. Carefully order your arguments with the strongest one first. 3. Use facts, quotes, statistics, analogies, stories, comparisons, etc. to support these arguments. Don t forget to give credit to the sources of your information. 4. Be sure your Christian values are evident. 5. Try to cover any arguments that your audience might have ( You may be thinking but OR Others may say but ). 6. Write a conclusion that briefly restates and summarizes your thesis (opinion) and your main arguments. You may choose to close by calling your audience to some kind of action. 1. Ask yourself: Do I have an introduction that grabs the audience s attention? Are my arguments stated clearly? Can I make my supporting information stronger? Is my Christian viewpoint clear? Did I review my thesis (opinion) and main arguments in my conclusion? 2. Show or read your speech to Mom, Dad, or a trusted friend. Did he/she find any parts that were unclear? 3. Re-write parts of your speech by making your unclear points more clear and by strengthening any arguments that needed additional support. Show or read your speech again to Mom, Dad, or a trusted friend. LEARN YOUR SPEECH 1. Give attention to speaking with a strong, convincing voice. Get involved. Let people hear the emotion in your voice. Pause after questions or important statements. Speak slowly and clearly. 2. Memorize your speech as much as possible. Use your note card for hard to remember facts/statistics. 20

9 WRITTEN PERSUASIVE SPEECH ON RECYCLING The year is The Earth is a smog-filled mess. There are no longer landfills because there is no room. All of the garbage has to be recycled or buried in the back yard. The air is dirty. The smell is horrible. Is this what you want the Earth to be like? There is one thing we can do and that is to recycle or reuse items. An article in the October 1990, edition of Popular Science magazine gives us these statistics. Each American throws away about four pounds of garbage daily. That is enough garbage to fill a convoy of ten-ten garbage trucks more that 145,000 miles long. Most of the million tons of garbage that United States throws away annually is put into a landfill, with only 14% of it recycled or burned. Somehow we have to cut down on our garbage because 80% of our landfills will close in the next twenty years. That is where recycling comes in. It is an easy way to save landfill space. One member of the University of Arizona s garbage project pulled up a newspaper from a landfill. It was yellow, but it was as legible as the day it was printed, January 8, The headline asked whether Truman would run for president again. Decomposition takes years and years. We must recycle and stop using landfill space. Recycling will also help preserve our natural resources. Did you know that we cut down 550,000 trees just to make the Sunday paper? Recycling saves energy to cut trees, reduces waste, and protects one of our most precious assets, our forests. Nearly all paper can be recycled. This is important because over 40% of all our garbage is paper and paper products. Leaves and yard waste take up about 18 % of landfill space. Composting yard waste enriches our soil, another valuable resource. Some towns are finding that recycling is very cost effective. The town of Berlin, Massachusetts recycles 58% of their garbage and saves $150,000 a year. The whole state reduced their landfilling 90% by recycling. Here are just a few more examples of recycling being a profitable success. Recyclers received $93 million from Reynold s Metals for the 305 million tons of aluminum they picked up. Sam Highly collected 944,000 cans and made $10,000. Can you believe this? We sell garbage to Europe for $5 a pound, and they recycle it and sell it back to us for an astonishing $500 a pound. Imagine how much money we could save by recycling. The Bible tells us in Genesis chapter 1, verse 31, that God s creation was very good. We know that sin has ruined this perfect creation, yet as Christians we will want to do our best to preserve its beauty. We can also learn from Jesus example in John chapter 6, when He fed the 5,000 and then asked His disciples to pick up the remaining food rather than waste it. So let s get started! Use cloth shopping bags instead of paper or plastic because they re reusable. At the office or at school use recycled paper. And instead of throwing used paper away, recycle it or use it as scrap paper. Recycling is worth all the extra effort it takes. Our landfill space will be saved. Our natural resources will be preserved. We will find that recycling is very profitable. And we will help to preserve the beauty of God s creation. Be smart! Do YOUR part! 24
