The purpose of a persuasive ###### is to convince your audience ###### agree with an idea or ###### that you put forth. First, ###### need to select a side ###### a controversial topic, then you ###### write a speech to explain ###### side and convince the audience ###### agree with you.

You can ###### an effective persuasive speech if ###### structure your argument as a ###### to a problem. Your first ###### as a speaker is to ###### your audience that a particular ###### is important to them, and ###### you must convince them that ###### have the solution to make ###### better.

Note: You don't have ###### address a real problem.]]>
As an example, let's imagine ###### you have chosen "Getting Up ######" as your persuasion topic. Your ###### will be to persuade classmates ###### get themselves out of bed ###### hour earlier every morning. In ###### instance, the problem could be ###### up as "morning chaos."

A ###### speech format has an introduction ###### a great hook statement, three ###### points and a summary.]]>
###### you write the text of ###### speech, you should sketch an ###### that includes your hook statement ###### three main points.

Writing The Text

The introduction ###### your speech must be well ###### because your audience will make ###### their minds within a few ######; they will decide to be ###### or to be bored.

Before ###### write the full body, you ###### come up with a greeting. ###### greeting can be as simple ###### "Good morning, everyone. My name ###### Frank."]]>
-How many times have you been late to school? -Does your day begin with shouts and arguments? -Have you ever missed the bus?

Or your hook could be a statistic or surprising statement:

###### than 50 percent of high ###### students skip breakfast because they ###### don't have time to eat. -###### kids drop out of school ###### often than punctual kids.

Once ###### have the attention of your ######, you follow through to define ###### topic/problem and introduce your solution. Here's an example of what you would have so far:

###### afternoon, class. Some of you ###### me, but some of you ###### not.]]>
Add the solution:

You can improve ###### mood and your school performance ###### adding more time to your ###### schedule. You do this by ###### your alarm clock to go ###### one hour earlier.

Your next ###### will be to write the ######, which will contain the three ###### points you've come up with ###### argue your position. Each point ###### be followed by supporting evidence ###### anecdotes, and each body paragraph ###### need to end with a ###### statement that leads to the ###### segment.]]>
Here is a sample of three main statements: -Bad moods caused by morning ###### will affect your workday performance. -###### you skip breakfast to buy ######, you're making a harmful health ######. -(Ending on a cheerful note) ###### enjoy a boost to your ###### when you reduce the morning ######.

After you write three body ###### with strong transition statements that ###### your speech flow, you are ###### to work on your summary.

###### summary will re-emphasize your argument ###### restate your points in slightly ###### language. This can be a ###### tricky.]]>
Finally, ###### must make sure to write ###### clear final sentence or passage ###### keep yourself from stammering at ###### end or fading off in ###### awkward moment.

A few examples of graceful exits:

We all like ###### sleep. I know it's hard ###### get up some mornings, but ###### can assure you that the ###### is well worth the effort. ###### you follow my guidelines and ###### the effort to get up ###### little bit earlier every day, ###### reap rewards in your home ###### on your report card.
