The basic purpose of a persuasive speech is to argue your idea until you get someone to come around to your way of thinking. The goal of this “argument” is to win acceptance of your ideas when others, for whatever reason, do not agree with you. The point of a persuasive speech is not to show how mad you are. Writing a persuasive speech helps you to look at evidence, state ideas more clearly, consider the claims of the opposition fairly, and justify your own position.
The range for topics is wide open. You may choose something as fun as pro-extracurricular activities or something as serious as against abortion. It can be something close to home like having open campus or it can be worldly like ending world hunger. Your topic needs to be appropriate. No two people in a section can have the same stance on the same topic.
