to outline the structure and incorporate rhetorical devices in the writing of the
speech. Remember that an argumentative speech must have a well-planned structure,
rhetorical devices, and powerful syntax to achieve its purpose.
The most compelling argument uses a combination of all three rhetorical appeals.
Choose places to strengthen your argument by appealing to your audience’s emotions
(pathos), logic (logos), and sense of right and wrong (ethos). Be sure to:
• Create an outline that includes the claim, support, counterclaim, and
conclusion/call to action.
• Incorporate two or more rhetorical devices in your speech (metaphor, allusion,
rhetorical questions, and imagery). Mark them in your speech.
• Choose a syntactic structure from Patrick Henry’s speech to the Virginia
Convention for your argument. Mark it in your speech and in the margin,
and note its intended effect.
• Use a variety of rhetorical appeals in your speech. Mark them in your speech.
• Include a concluding statement with a call to action that asks audience
members to change their minds or act in support of the claim.
• Practice reciting your speech to a classmate, parent, sibling, or friend. Consider
how your delivery can enhance your written words.
