Well, the persuasive speech did not go the best for me. I was extremely nervous and I could not snap out of it; which I'm sure was obvious in the video. On the bright side, though, my catch phrase made it easier to grab the attention of my audience! It also helped that my persuasive speech outline had good flow. My persuasivespeech contained a lot of resourceful information that I hope made people actually think about becoming an organ donor. I made sure to include multiple statistics so that my audience would know how many people are actually awaiting organ and tissue donation. Providing this information in my speech was resourceful to my audience as well as myself because organ and tissue donation is not generally a topic that people think a lot about and therefore they might not know the real importance of organ and tissue donation....show more content...
I have no idea why this speech made me so nervous. Due to the fact that I was extremely nervous, my mind kept freezing up on me, so, therefore, I was referring to my note cards more than I needed to be; which made the speech not flow as smoothly as I would have liked it to. Furthermore, because I was referring to my note cards more, my eye contact was lacking. My eye contact was the one thing in my speech that needed the most improvement. Also, my nonverbal communication was good in the fact that I did not move my hands around a lot, but did have quite a few nervous twitches. The nonverbal that were displayed in this persuasive speech were better than the other two speeches, but I still need to work on a couple of things, such as, having a glass of water next to me so that I do not have to swallow so

A. Who here likes money? Who here would like to have some more? Even if you didn't raise your hand, you would probably be lying to say you haven't wanted cash at one point or another.

Topic: Blood Donation
Purpose: To persuade my peers of the need for blood donations.
Thesis: The need for blood donors is crucial it could save a life of someone you know or your own.
Introduction:
A. Imagine you or someone you know needed blood to save their life. For example, if you were born with a heart defect and required a transfusion for a chance at life. What if there was no blood available? Well for instance, my niece was born with a rare blood disorder called ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) to which her body kills off her own platelets. When her platelets fall, it would require her to have a transfusion. Just...show more content...
There are numerous benefits to giving blood. A. Soon after giving blood you will receive a copy of your blood type, in case you do not know it, in the mail. B. It might also say "Congratulations for donating you have just saved at least three lives!" 1. Some places give out a T–shirt or a gift card to your favorite restaurant. 2. Also, you get to eat snacks that you may never eat otherwise. 3. Just the satisfaction of knowing you just saved lives. C. Some of you might still have questions about giving blood. 1. You might think "if I give blood will it hurt?" 2. You can not get hurt giving blood. 3. You might think "Gosh, I am not sure I want to give my blood when I need it myself to survive. 4. It only takes 24 hours
to replace the red blood cell lost during donating. 5. They only use sterile or disposable materials to take your blood and using these can prevent you or someone from contracting diseases.
(Transition: Finally, you know the problem and solution so visualize this.....) IV. In conclusion, there is a definite need for blood donation, as I have explained. Some one needs blood every 3 seconds in the U.S. The donation process is simple and harmless. It could save a life of someone you know or your own. So, I urge you to go out and donate and have the satisfaction of knowing you just saved as much as 3 lives while doing so.
