SL.9-10.6 Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, demonstrating command of formal English when indicated or appropriate. Writing W.9-10.1.A Introduce precise claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that establishes clear relationships among claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence. W.9-10.1.B Develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly, supplying evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audience's knowledge level and concerns. Guidelines Directions: Research a topic that you feel passionate about. Create a 3 - 5 minute multimedia persuasive speech. Introduce the topic, give background information, and state your opinion. List 3 reasons and provide evidence for each reason. State your counterclaim as to why someone would disagree with you. Your conclusion should be a summary of what you are persuading the audience to believe. The final slide should be your source slide. Be specific with your sources. Proofread your project before submitting. Do not crowd your slides with information. Use bullet points instead of paragraphs to enhance eye contact. Practice presenting and memorize the information to enhance eye contact. Check for language conventions such as misspelled words, grammar, and punctuation. Examples 1. Social Issue 2.
