Persuasive Speech Planner

Choose an issue you care about. Use the planner to organise your ideas, then practise speaking clearly and listening respectfully. Include a clear claim, two reasons with examples, another point of view, and a strong ending.

Build your speech

Write notes or full sentences in each box. Make your reasons support your claim.

1.What opening question, surprising fact, or brief scene could make your audience want to listen?
2.State your position on the issue in one clear sentence. What do you want your audience to believe?
3.Give your first reason for supporting your position. Add a fact, observation, or example that helps prove it.
4.Give a second, different reason for supporting your position. Add a fact, observation, or example to back it up.
5.What might someone who disagrees say? How could you respond respectfully to that different view?
6.What specific action would you like your listeners to take after hearing your speech?
7.Write a final sentence that reminds listeners of your main message.

Speaking and listening prompts

Try a transition such as: To begin with, Another reason, For instance, On the other hand, As a result, or To finish. When practising, face your listeners, speak at a steady pace, and listen without interrupting.

8.After practising aloud, choose one thing you will improve so your audience can follow your ideas. Examples: volume, pace, expression, or eye contact.
Check your plan: □ My opening invites people to listen. □ My claim is easy to understand. □ I give two supported reasons. □ I include another point of view. □ I ask listeners to take an action. □ My ending leaves the audience with my message.
