Analyze the audience, select the appropriate pattern of organization, and develop an effective speech introduction and conclusion. Write a 450 to 500 word draft of a persuasive speech. To complete the assignment: Organize your speech similar to this order: Introduction that grabs attention Argument 1 Argument 2 Argument 3 Conclusion that seals the persuasive intent Use this structure (or one similar) to create an outline that details the persuasive arguments or evidence from your research that you will use. Develop your draft: Create the introduction, something that will grab the audience attention. This could be a startling statistic or a quick personal story of success. Write a conclusion that ties back to the introduction and brings resolve to the arguments presented in favor of your goal. Put all of these pieces together with some transitions that make the speech flow. Read the speech aloud; try it out on friends or family to get feedback for areas that you are struggling with completing.
