1. Open with a brief statement of your
persuasive main idea (“I am here to tell
you why you should….”)
2. Connect to the audience and establish
your credibility by leading with a hook OR
by telling a personal story about why this
topic is important to you
3. More fully explain your main idea clearly
and with conviction, that is, why should
other people care?
4. Support your idea with hard evidence
from quality sources (you must do some
research – provide 3 pieces of evidence )
5. Give your audience calls to action (it’s
about them, not you. Three calls to action
are most effective)
