Warm-up

1. Form yourselves into groups of at least four members.

2. As a group, read the following situation: “Your community organization has requested you to
raise funds through a charity event which will be attended by sponsors. The proceeds will go
to relief efforts for a number of families that have been devastated by any calamity.”
3. In the group, instruct each member to prepare a 1-minute speech that can convince the
sponsors to support the event. The preparation time is five minutes. The content of your
speech should be different from that of the others. In the speech, you need to:
• Think of an event which the sponsors are interested in and willing to support (a musical event,
a bazaar, a fun run, etc.).
• Think of one reason why the sponsors should support the event.
4. During your delivery, your group mates will take note of your strengths and weaknesses. They
will also rate your talk on how effective you are in convincing them with a grade of one to five—
five being the highest and one being the lowest. The following observation sheet may be used:

I. ESSENTIALS OF PERSUASIVE SPEAKING

There are many practical situations and opportunities where persuasion is observed. Some
of them are:
(1) To convince your parents to increase your allowance or to buy you the latest cellular phone or
laptop model,
(2) To persuade your teachers to extend the deadline of your term paper, or
(3) To urge your schoolmates to vote for you in a student government position you are running
for.

Persuasive speaking can be considered as a form of speaking that most people of diverse
backgrounds are engaged in and involved the most. This is the kind of speech that considers any
topic under the sun that is arguably relatable and interesting. So, when you deliver your
persuasive speech, your primary goal is to influence the thoughts, feelings, actions, and
behaviors or attitudes of your listeners (Gamble & Gamble, 2012).
I. ESSENTIALS OF PERSUASIVE SPEAKING

Likewise, you also aim to change their thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors, and convince
them that your ideas are more important, practical, attainable, feasible, and workable. You, as a
persuasive speaker, advocate whatever cause or message you pursue.
The primary purpose of persuasive speech is to effect change in the attitudes or actions of
your listeners. Compared to the informative speech, persuasive speech is different as described
by Osborn (2006):
Informative Speech Persuasive Speech
Presents options Pushes for a choice among options
Speaker acts as teacher Speaker acts as advocate
Uses supporting materials to Uses supporting materials to justify
enlighten the audience advice
Asks for little audience commitment Asks for strong audience commitment
Speaker’s credibility is relevant Speaker’s credibility is more important
Appeals less to emotions Appeals more to emotions
High ethical obligation Higher ethical obligation
II. QUALITIES OF AN EFFECTIVE PERSUASIVE SPEECH

Qualities Guide Questions

1. Well-defined goal What is your specific goal in mind?
Do you expect your audience to “think differently, act
differently, or both” after they listen to your speech?
2. Clear main point Is the main point of your speech clear to you?
Is it specific and focused?
3. Sufficient Do you have factual statements, reliable sources or
supporting ideas solid evidence to support your main point? Do you have
enough supporting statements?
4. Logical reasoning How will you state your arguments? Will you use: (1)
(concrete reasons deductive reasoning (starting with general evidence to
why your listeners specific; (2) inductive (reasoning, from specific evidence
should support your to general); (3) causal comparison (cause/s and
ideas) effect/s), or vice versa; or, (4) analogy (comparisons to
things or situations)?

audience
III. TYPES OF PERSUASIVE SPEECH

1. Speech that Questions Fact

This type usually happens whenever the speaker questions the existence of a particular
event or happening. In this case, the persuasive speaker poses questions of fact, derives
conclusions from different sources of information, and attempts to convince the audience to
believe in his/her ideas.
For example, you argue that the declaration of Cybercrime Law as constitutional is
questionable. Your outline will look like this:
a. Purpose: To persuade the listeners that Cybercrime Law is unconstitutional.
b. Main Point: The provision of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution values freedom of the
speech.
c. Supporting Idea: Article III, Section 4 of the Constitution states that no law shall be passed
abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of press, and the cognate rights of individuals
and groups within our society.
III. TYPES OF PERSUASIVE SPEECH

2. Speech that Questions Value

This type usually happens whenever the speaker deals with questions of value in terms of
self, family, friendship, religion, government, freedom, love, and money among others. In this
case, the persuasive speaker:
(1) Makes a statement or claim,
(2) Attempts to convince his/her audience why something or someone is worthy of pride and/or
emulation, and
(3) Justifies it based on standards.
III. TYPES OF PERSUASIVE SPEECH

For example, you argue that the state or government should not revive the death penalty
because it remains to be inhuman and unjustifiable. Your outline will look like this:

a. Purpose: To persuade the listeners that over the years death penalty is unjustifiable
b. Main Point: There is no reason for the state to revive the death penalty.
c. Supporting Idea: The Philippines still has problems with the justice system. In fact, former
Philippine President himself acknowledged it: “Aquino said the country’s justice system is far
from perfect, citing cases of innocent people found guilty of crimes they did not commit only
because they were unable to hire good lawyers” (Porcalla, 2014, para. 3).
III. TYPES OF PERSUASIVE SPEECH

3. Speech that Questions Policy

This type usually happens whenever the speaker questions the way things are today which
can have implications for the future. In this case, the persuasive speaker asks relevant questions
that can help in resolving whether something should be implemented or not, observed or not, or
done or not.
III. TYPES OF PERSUASIVE SPEECH

For example, you argue that the state or government should protect the lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender/sexual (LGBT) community in any workplace or office. Your outline will
look like this:
a. Purpose: To persuade the listeners that the LGBT community should be protected from
discrimination
b. Main Point: LGBT members deserve to be protected by the state against exclusivity in any
workplace or office.
c. Supporting Idea: There are horrible reports and cases of discrimination at work in terms of
promotion and benefits. Hence, there is a need to create and implement a policy related to
this.
III. TYPES OF PERSUASIVE SPEECH

4. Speech that Refutes

This type usually happens whenever the speaker responds to and disproves the claims of
others while he/she defends and promotes his/her own. One best example is the debate. In this
case, the persuasive speaker is required to carefully plan his arguments/claims with valid
support.
for example, you disagree with the reports about the Philippines as the worst country due to
the increasing rate of heinous crimes. Your outline will look like this:
a. Purpose: To persuade the listeners that there is no truth to the claims of foreign media that
Philippines is not safe to visit and stay
b. Main Point: The Philippines is not the worst country in the world.
c. Supporting Idea: Statistics from the Department of Tourism showing the massive increase
in international tourists every year and travelblogs reporting the Philippines as the top
destination is Asia are two reasons why this country is not the worst one.
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

The following are some of the suggested patterns that you can use when you organize your
persuasive speech.
1. A.F.O.R.E.S.T (anecdotes, facts and figures, opinion, rhetorical questions, emotive language,
superlatives, tripling).
Here’s how:
(1) Begin your speech with a personal story, observation, or experience;
(2) Provide striking statistics that can support your ideas;
(3) Add in your opinion. You can begin your statement with, “I believe that…”;
(4) Think of engaging rhetorical questions;
(5) Use emotional appeal:
(6) Use superlatives to exaggerate an idea; and
(7) Think of the rule of three in English writing principle. This may add to the effectiveness of
your persuasion. Classic example is “Go! Fight! Win!”
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

For example:

a. Purpose: To persuade the listeners that over the years, the death penalty is unjustifiable
b. Main Point: There is no reason for the state to revive death penalty.
c. Supporting Idea: The Philippines still has problems with the justice system. In fact, the article
of Philippine Star columnist Delon Porcall, indicated that President Noynoy Aquino
acknowledged it:
“Aquino said the country’s system is far from perfect, citing cases of innocent people found
guilty of crimes they did not commit only because they were unable to hire good lawyers.”
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

Anecdote 1. My father died of lethal injection years ago.

1.1 He’s a victim of this unjust society; he was killed for a crime
that he never did.
1.2 There is no reason for the state to revive the death penalty.
Facts and Figures 2. When RA 7659 or the Death Penalty Law was still active, six
out of 10 innocent people had become victims.
Opinion 2.1 Reviving this law is unjustifiable.
Rhetorical Question 2.2 If that law would be revived, how sure are we that no more
innocent men and women would become victims?
Emotive language 2.3 We are a nation that values life and thinks that everyone
deserves chances to change and live for their families.
Superlatives 2.4 Think, we will only support the revival of this law, if you
could revive the life of innocents in the grave.
Tripling 2.5 Think. Think. Think.
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

2. Problem-Solution
Here’s how:
(1) Identify the problem; and
(2) Provide solution showing its practicality.
For example:
a. Purpose: To persuade the listeners that the LGBT community should be protected from
discrimination
b. Main Point: LGBT members deserve to be protected by the state against exclusivity in any
workplace or office.
c. Supporting Idea: There are horrible reports and cases of discrimination at work in terms of
promotion and benefits. Hence, there is a need to create and implement a policy related to
this:
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

Problem 1. Current status of LGBT in workplace

1.1 Discrimination of LGBT in workplace
Solution 2. Policy that clearly defines the rights of LGBT
2.1 for protection
2.2 for recognition
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

3. Problem-Cause-Solution
Here’s how:
(1) Identify the problem;
(2) Analyze the root causes of the problem; and
(3) Provide solution to the problem.
For example:
a. Purpose: To persuade the listeners why the state or government needs to collaborate with
the private sector in maintaining and protecting national heritage sites
b. Main Point: Preserving our national heritage sites such as centuries-old churches, theaters,
and other artifacts is the least priority of the government.
c. Supporting Idea: One can observe that these sites are losing their historical and cultural
values.
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

Problem 1. List of historical sites in the Philippines

1.1 Not priority of the government
Root cause 2. Budget allocation
Support 1 2.1 Percentage allocated to preservation of sites
Solution 2.2 Promote public-private partnership
Support 2.3 Reports showing successful partnerships
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

4. Comparative Advantages
Here’s how:
(1) Identify the problem;
(2) Present at least two solutions to the problem; and
(3) Compare the two in terms of practicality and feasibility.
For example:
a. Purpose: To persuade the listeners why there is a need for political reform
b. Main Point: Politics in the Philippines is very dirty.
c. Supporting Idea: There have been a lot of anomalies and illegal transactions going on in the
political system.
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

Problem 1. Vision of Philippine politics

1.1 Dirty politics
Solution 1 2. Pass Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill into law
Support 1 2.1 Achieve transparency
Support 2 2.2 Achieve good governance
Comparison 3. Can be good solutions
Support 1 3.1 Practical
Support 2 3.2 Feasible
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

5. Monroe’s Motivated Sequence

Here’s how:

(1) Grab the attention of the audience by identifying the challenge you plan to confront, or the
problem you plan to address.
(2) Establish the need or urgency to address the identified challenge or problem.
(3) Present possible solutions to your audience to satisfy the need.
(4) Help your audience visualize by using vivid language to convince them about the benefits
they can gain from the solutions you presented.
(5) Engage the audience to participate in promoting change through a call for action .
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS

For example:
a. Purpose: Persuade the audience to abstain from consuming alcohol.
b. Main Point: Abstaining from alcohol will help students live a healthy and safe life for
themselves and those around them while avoiding any criminal activities.
c. Supporting Idea: Recent studies show that people who do not take alcoholic drinks are
economically stable and enjoy a happy and productive life.

Smoking: A Death Sentence

Rachel De Cou
Attention- 1.0 Robert, a 40-year-old man, was found unconscious at his
grabber house one Saturday morning. He was rushed to the nearest
hospital but was declared dead on arrival. After autopsy, the
doctors found out that his lungs collapsed due to emphysema
resulting from too much smoking.
1.1 Smoking is one of the leading causes of cancer and death.
So when you buy cigarettes to smoke, it’s like you are buying
your death.
1.2 Why do I want to talk about smoking and its threat to our
health? It is because I had loved ones who died from cancer due
to smoking. I also have so many friends who experience health
problems because of this unhealthy hobby.
1.3 This afternoon, I would like you to realize that those who
smoke should stop now whether it is you or your loved ones. By
abstaining from it, you will have a healthier, happier, and longer
life.

2.1 Currently, around 25 percent of the population are smokers.
2.2 Many of the illnesses experienced by smokers are smoking-
related.
2.3 Smoking is the leading unhealthy habit among teenagers and

V. METHODS OF PERSUASION

Consider what Lucas (2011) writes about how the audience can be persuaded by a speaker.
The audience is easily influenced because of the speaker’s credibility.
The audience is easily convinced because of the speaker’s presented evidence.
The audience is easily persuaded because of the speaker’s reasoning.
The audience is easily swayed by speaker’s use of language and style of presenting
his/her ideas.

The preceding ideas highlight some of the methods you can use in your persuasive speech.
These methods are commonly used and proven to be effective by prominent and excellent
speakers across the globe. The following are some tips in enhancing your credibility, presenting
evidence, using reasoning, and observing ethics and emotional appeal in a persuasive speech.
V. METHODS OF PERSUASION

1. How to enhance your credibility

Explain how you become an expert on the topic.
a. You can do this by sharing how well you read on, investigated, or researched the topic.
For example: In the beginning you never knew about your topic until you did a research about it.
By saying “you did a research about it,” your audience will feel you take an effort in building your
credibility through researching on your speech topic.
b. Connect your experiences, beliefs, values, or attitudes with your audience.
c. You can do this by telling your audience that you have the same experiences, beliefs, values,
or attitudes. For example: In the beginning of your speech, you can emphasize to your audience
that regardless of background, status, age, gender, beliefs, and values, among others, we all
have one thing in common,” your audience will feel respected because you can identify to their
experiences, beliefs, values, or attitudes.
V. METHODS OF PERSUASION

d. Practice more often so you can deliver your speech with conviction.
e. You can do this by exposing yourself more often to speaking situations such as reciting and
reading announcements in class, introducing people in a program or hosting it, participating in
debates, or acting as a spokesperson of your class, club, or organization. Also, you can do this by
simply practicing more often before your actual speech performance. By doing so, you can
increase your confidence and deliver your speech with conviction.
V. METHODS OF PERSUASION

2. How to use evidence

a. Specify evidence.
You can do this by telling your audience a specific number, example, or document. For example:
do not simply say, “there is a law that protects women and their children against violence.”
Instead, you say, “RA 9262 is an act that protects women and their children against violence.” by
specifying your evidence, your audience will feel you know what you are talking about.
b. Avoid outdated evidence.
You can do this by reading and looking for new evidence to keep yourself updated of significant
facts and figures. For example: You are using data taken from the year 2000 or earlier. Your
audience will no longer be interested to listen to your speech because the data might be
irrelevant today. Instead, use current ones. In that sense, your audience will be more interested to
listen to your speech.
V. METHODS OF PERSUASION

c. Choose reputable or credible sources for your evidence

You can do this by carefully identifying and evaluating your sources.

For example: You are sharing with your audience the formulation of foreign policy so that the
Philippines can improve its international relations with other countries. You are also telling your
audience that you have sources such as fansites, Wikipedia, blogs, or self-published books to
prove that your suggestions are concrete and credible. With the quality of your sources, you will
definitely lose the interest of your audience. As a guide, take note that the internet contains many
academic databases that can provide you a wealth of reputable or credible sources for your
evidence.
V. METHODS OF PERSUASION

3. How to use reasoning

a. Avoid logical fallacies or errors in reasoning.

You can do this by studying the types of logical fallacies. The following are some of the examples:
• Ad Hominem: This happens when you attack the character of a person instead of his/her
argument.
Example: Professor X does not deserve to be the head of this organization because he is
separated from his wife.
How to avoid: When you give your rebuttal, focus on the arguments of the person, not on his/her
character or values.
V. METHODS OF PERSUASION

• Circular Argument: This happens when the idea of a stated argument is repeated.
Example: My mother is a good teacher because she teaches me well.
How to avoid: Do not repeat the argument. Instead, prove it.

• False Analogy: This happens when two things that are not very similar are being compared.
Example: President Aquino is the Socrates of the 21st century.
How to avoid: Look closely at the characteristics, features, or components of two people or
objects and determine whether they can really be compared or not.

• False Authority: This happens when a statement of someone, popular or not, who is not an
expert on a field is used in an argument.
Example: I avoid drinking coffee at night because of the advice of my English teacher.
How to avoid: Check properly the qualifications of the person being cited.
V. METHODS OF PERSUASION

• False Cause and Effect: This happens when the connection between two consecutive events
are not clear.
Example: Because of the party I attended, I got a high grade in my persuasive speech.
How to avoid: Clarify the connections between the events by explaining clearly the background
of the two.

• Hasty Generalization: This happens when a conclusion is drawn from insufficient evidence.
Example: Government officials are not good in public speaking.
How to avoid: Provide enough evidence before making any conclusions.

• Red Herring: This happens when the answer does not address the question.
Example: Question: Should the President sign cyberbullying bill into law?
Answer: The President has other priorities.
How to avoid: Do not avoid opposing arguments. Instead, address them properly.
