Motivational Speech

Your task is to deliver a motivational speech in which you encourage your classmates to do (or stop doing) something. This is a formal speech, so you will need to stand on your own two feet and deliver your speech from note cards. The purpose of the note cards is to remind you of your organization. You should not write your entire speech on your note cards.

Your target length should be between two and four minutes, though the length of your speech will be determined by the content. You need to include each of the following rhetorical strategies in your presentation:
