Persuasive Speech

Persuasive speech plan

My topic: Littering is the worst

My argument: Littering is the worst because it can kill our animals

Audience: Panmure Bridge School

How will you greet your audience? Greetings everybody

How will you introduce your topic in a catchy way? I think that littering should be stopped because it can make our world look untidy.

Write a rhetorical question to make the audience think about your topic: Do you want our school to look like a dumping yes/no

What is your opinion? Write a statement that clearly states your point of view: If we keep littering our rubbish can float into the drains and then where to next? The ocean literally where our sea animals live in.

List some facts or statistics that support your opinion: After  our waste is collected from our rubbish bins it is mostly buried in big holes in the ground called landfill sites. Wasting more and more rubbish can make our landfill look more terrible. Once the sea animals catch anything they will eat it knowing that it hasn't been touched by us. For example the turtles will dive into it munching rubbish all up making their throats  get blocked by the amount of rubbish we've littered.

Do you have a solution to the problem? We have rubbish everywhere out in public that people can use. Even though there's no bins around then hold it either then throwing it around.

Say your opinion again and warn the audience what will happen if they don’t agree with your opinion. I hope you guys enjoyed what I have been telling you. I warn you and saying that you won't want New Zealand to look like a dumping ground.

What is your opinion? Write a statement that clearly states your point of view: I am for giving cellphones to 13+ because there clearly old enough to have a cell phone, also if you parents have no idea where you are then they can call/text you.

List some facts or statistics that support your opinion: Nearly everybody at college have cell phones Girls send more than 70 messages to other pupils. There can be proof for phones disturbing our learning away.
