Week 6 - Persuasion

In today's class I learned about persuasion. Also the right way to come up with a persuasion topic and how to do a claim, data and warrant. We also learned how persuasion = words/ language and then change = values, beliefs and attitude. Something very important that I learned was that you can't make a claim without research or collected information, but good information from good sources you have to make sure about that. We also learned how to come out with a good topic, a good topic is made with a more specific information than just one word. A purpose is to inform the audience about "your topic"/ to convince/ persuade the audience about "your topic". Here at the purpose your goal is to persuade your audience to change their values, beliefs and attitude with language and words. The next step is your thesis that will discuss in more detail your purpose and take three main points and that will be what you will discuss in your speech. Then comes your introduction that is what you are going to discuss about. The body is where you are going to expand your thesis. The last but not least is the conclusion in here you emphasize your thesis and final opportunity to make your points. Of course NEVER end your speech with THAT'S IT.

What I learned in today's class is so important that I will now apply it to my daily life. The way that I will apply it is by the following when I am having a speech now I will never say "that's it", I have never said it before but now I will make sure to never say it. I will also make sure to have a clear topic and make sure to explain very clear my three main points. From now on I will make sure to organize my speech very good so that my speech comes out very well. Last follow all the steps that makes a persuasion speech very good. I will follow them to come out with a organize and an excellent speech.
