Influential Person of the 1800's - Persuasive Speech
***This speech is essentially, a shortened, more engaging version of your essay

It should include the following things from your essay:
-hook
-thesis statement
-2 supporting facts (1 from body paragraph 1, 1 from body paragraph 2) with an explanation of what they mean
-the counter argument and a rebuttal
-strong concluding sentence

Your speech should be 1-2 minutes and the biggest focus should be on the following speaking skills:


·                      Voice
o   Pace (not too slow, not too fast… pauses)
o   Fluctuation (don’t sound like a robot person)
o   Projection (make sure we can hear you)
·                     Eye contact
·                    Confidence (whether it is real or not)
