Persuasive Speeches

The purpose of a persuasive speech is to help people see your point of view about a particular topic and to change their minds if they do not agree.  For example, you could try to change the way they think about an issue. Or you could encourage them to change their behavior.  Finally, you could persuade your audience to do something they are not currently doing.  Essentially, you will approach your audience with a point of view, and you will try to get them to adopt it.  Your speech will be successful if the audience is willing to accept your ideas and suggestions.  Possible topics include:

• Adoption
