Increasing effectiveness

of persuasive messages

Types of appeals

Start the class by showing the students a cartoon. “What do you

notice about this cartoon?” (The person is playing background music

to make the message more effective.) “We also do things in our

persuasive messages to make them more effective. We are going to

talk about those things today.”

1. Anticipate selective exposure: Listeners actively seek out

information that fits their beliefs. They will tune out

information that goes against these beliefs. If you know

that your audience is going to disagree with something in

your speech, it would be a good idea to give them support

and examples before introducing a controversial idea.

2. Ask for appropriate amounts of change: Ask for small

amounts of change. For example, if you are trying to

convince your parents to change your curfew, what would

you do to ask for small amounts of change?

3. Identify with your audience: Connect with your audience by

showing that you share similar values, beliefs, etc. Share

similar cultural, educational, social, etc. experiences. Be

sure the info you share is relevant to the speech. Be honest.

Complete the “Know Your Role” activity. (see attached)

“Now we are going to talk about different types of appeals. You will

need to include all three of these appeals in your speech, so be sure

to keep notes about each one.” Watch the Sarah MacLachlan ASPCA

PSA and ask students to evaluate its effectiveness (and why).

Students take notes about how to

increase effectiveness and provide

examples of how they might do

each in their own speeches.

Students see how values and

opinions can differ within an

audience and discuss what they will

do to try to increase the

effectiveness of their persuasive

messages.

Students watch a video and

evaluate the effectiveness of a

persuasive message.

Appeals (cont’d) We are going to talk about three types of appeals. Be sure to keep

track of these types of appeals on your handout:

1. Logical appeals: Logic based on evidence, facts, and

examples. There are three kinds of logic appeals. Specific

instances: present a few specific instances and conclude

something about the whole. Cause and effect: you say that

one thing causes another, giving specific evidence to

support the link. Reason based on signs: you make a

conclusion about something based on the fact that it has

certain traits and characteristics.

2. Emotional appeals: These appeal to your listeners’ feelings,

desires, needs, and wants. They are often based on

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. (Show chart)

3. Credibility appeals: Credibility is how much your audience

sees you as a believable person to speak on the topic. It

includes competence (how much you know about the topic),

character (how trustworthy and honest your audience

believes you are), and charisma (how friendly and pleasant

your audience finds you).

For each appeal, have students give an example.

Watch the “Persuasive Speech: Drunk Driving” video on youtube and

have the students look for different appeals throughout the speech.

Discuss the appeals at the end.

Videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr_EkHioYO8

Students keep track of the different

types of appeals on their handout,

discuss how these appeals are used

in various persuasive messages

they have seen or heard, and look

for persuasive appeals in a sample

persuasive speech.

Attention Getter

Credibility

Sample persuasive

message related to mass

media

Research time

Show students the credibility cartoon. “What do you notice about this

cartoon? How does it relate to presenting persuasive messages?

What is it saying about credibility?” Point out that credibility usually

needs to be built by the speaker, but sometimes there is inherent

credibility. “Today, we are going to build on our discussion of

credibility from last week.”

“Who can remember the three aspects of credibility that we talked

about last week? (Competence, character, and charisma).” Briefly

review these. Then move on to three aspects for the day.

• Surface: How a speaker looks. This could be how well

dressed you are or if your clothing matches your speech. It

could also be how prepared you seem (notecards

organized, PAs in order) or how clear your message is.

• Experienced: Showing that you have personal experiences

that relate to the topic.

• Reputed: This is built throughout your speech when you

cite sources, give evidence to support your reasoning, and

keep any unnecessary bias out of the speech.

What do you think is the strongest form of credibility? Why?

Show students the sample persuasive message from youtube. Talk

about the mass media tie-in and how effective it is as a persuasive

message. What is it trying to tell you to do? Credible?

You may use the rest of class to work on research for your speech.

Students talk about authority in

public speaking. They give

examples of when they were told

to believe something just because

the person “had the proper

authority.”

Students add notes to their

credibility handout and discuss the

types of credibility. Students give

their opinions about what kind of

credibility is most effective.

Students discuss the purpose and

effectiveness of a persuasive

message.

Ethics Attention Getter

Why be concerned with

ethics?

So, what can I do?

Show students the Charlie Brown cartoon. Have them examine it for

a minute or so. “What do you notice about this cartoon? What is he

trying to do? What is wrong with this? Today we are going to talk

more about how to be an ethical persuader.”

“First off, what does it mean to be ethical in persuasion?” It means

you speak the truth, you don’t try to deceive the audience, etc.

“There are a couple of reasons why it is very important to be ethical.

1) As a speaker, you have the power. The audience sees you as an

authority figure and the listeners do not have a choice as to whether

or not they will listen to your message. 2) The audience takes what

you say as truth. Your point is to make the audience believe you;

your message better be truthful.

1. First, it is very important not to make up information.

2. You also do not want to deceive the listeners about what your

purpose is; be sure that the purpose for your message is clear

from the beginning of the message until the end.

3. Do not to manipulate data or facts to reach an untrue conclusion.

4. Do not to change any evidence or facts to fit your points.

5. Sometimes your messages will be emotional for some listeners,

but it is important not to cloud the listeners’ logic with over-the-

top emotional appeals.

6. Avoid language that is difficult for your listeners to understand;

ambiguous language can be misleading and could cause listeners

to interpret your message in a way that you did not intend.

Students point out the ethical

problems in the cartoon.

Students discuss the importance of

being ethical. They share examples

of times when they took a

speaker’s word for granted because

of his/her authority.

Students examine ways to ensure

that they are being ethical

persuaders in this speech and in

other persuasive messages they

create in the future.

Language Ambiguity

Activity

Impromptus: What I’m

Thankful For

“One of the ways to be an ethical persuader is to use clear, precise

language. Sometimes we do not even realize that what we say can

be interpreted in different ways. Take a few minutes to complete

the top part of this worksheet, writing down your best guess as to

what the sentence means.” Have students complete the worksheet,

and then discuss the answers. “What does this mean for our

speeches?”

“We are going to do some impromptu speeches to end class today.

For today’s impromptu speech, I want you to think about what

you’re thankful for. Take a few minutes to think about what you

want to speak about. Your speech should be well organized with an

intro, 3 main points, and a conclusion. Be sure to include examples

as well!”

Students explore how language

ambiguity can affect their

understanding of seemingly simple

sentences.

Students take some time to

brainstorm for their impromptu

and then present for the class.

Mass Media Video

Evaluation Persuasive

Messages

Persuasive messages all

around us

“We are going to start class today by watching a quick video about

how mass media influences our lives. As you watch, I want you to

keep track of three things that you want to talk about after we are

done watching.” Watch the short video and then discuss various

aspects of mass media in the video.

“As we prepare for our persuasive speech presentations on Friday, I

think it is a good idea to look at a persuasive speech and evaluate

how effective it is as a class. Hopefully, this will give you a better

idea of what you can do to improve your own persuasive speech. We

are going to evaluate the speech using the same rubric that I am

going to use to evaluate your final persuasive speech. As we watch

the speech, be sure to keep track of what the speaker does on the

rubric.” Watch the speech and then discuss the effectiveness of the

speech as a class.

For the last part of class, we have the mini lab to work on a couple of

things. The first thing you need to do is find 2 examples of

persuasive messages in the media. These can be advertisements,

campaign messages, opinion articles, videos, etc. Tomorrow we are

going to look at different persuasive messages in our world. If you

have examples at home, feel free to bring them in as well. Once you

have your 2 samples, you have the rest of class to work on some final

touches on your outlines. Remember, they are due tomorrow!

Persuasive Messages All

Around Us

Before we start for the day, everyone needs to turn in their outlines.

I will grade the outlines tonight and have them back to you by class

tomorrow so you can make any necessary changes for your speeches

on Friday.

“To start class today, I have a very brief video that someone created

to show one of the effects that mass media has on people. As you

watch the video think about what it is saying about how mass media

affects us.” Watch video and discuss its meaning with the students.

In what ways are they pressured by the media?

“Ok, we are going to spend the rest of class looking at the different

examples of persuasive messages that you have found from your

own lives. As you present your samples to the class, we will take

some time to discuss how these messages affect us on a daily basis.”

As the students present their samples be sure to discuss the

following ideas:

• How is this a persuasive message?

• Do you trust the message?

• What appeals are used?

• How does this affect your life?

If time remains, whip out the question ball, charades, or first line/last

line.

“Today is our last day of class! We are going to listen to everyone’s

persuasive speeches today. The order is on the board. After each

person speaks, we will give that person 2 or 3 things that they did

well or have improved upon throughout the trimester. During this

time, the next speaker should prepare their visual aids on the

computer. Any questions?” Listen to students’ speeches and make

notes on their rubrics.

Students present speeches, listen
