ASU Communications Informative Speech & Persuasive Speech Discussion
- What is the difference between an informative speech and a persuasive speech? Provide an own example with topic for illustration.
- Why is speaking to persuade more challenging than speaking to inform? In your work experience, you probably experienced customers that just would not be convinced to buy a certain thing or do something-why is that? If you do not have work experience, discuss persuasion that you used participating on a sports team or in a volunteer capacity such as a fundraising event. How successful were you with your persuasive appeals?
- Explain how you addressed the three basic issues of a persuasive appeal that include need (problem), plan, and practicality (why your solution works).
