I need some information on how to write a persuasive speech on Beauty of/in Media?

I am pro for Beauty of Media (because i had no choice the teacher chose randomly for me). Being for something is not my specialty, so I need some good persuausions to grab the listeners attention. Thank You.I need some information on how to write a persuasive speech on Beauty of/in Media?
First brainstorm the topic. Learn all you can about media. Think of examples of beauty. Think of arguments against that. Then pick your most persuasive OR the most unusual example. Go with that for your lead-in. This is where you grab the audience's attention, so that is where you want to really spend time writing very well.





Throughout your whole speech, you are trying to get your audience on your side. Be nice and not abrasive. Be firm and believable. Only say things you truly belive, and say them with conviction.





After the introduction, then you want to show that you know there are pros and cons to this argument, but that the pros ultimately are more persuasive.





Be careful of the transitions between paragraphs. It should all flow smoothly.





Now that you've begun, you need to prove your argument. To do that, state your thesis in a totally factual way. This is not the place for argument. Here is where you give the evidence. Next give supporting evidence. You still are not stating your point of view in this part. Just stick to the information that is clear and non disprovable. Be clear, focused, and totally on topic.





The next part is your arguments. This is the part where you should be talking the longest. Give your clearest arguments. Save your strongest argument for last.





After stating your arguments, take the time to refute the arguments on the other side of the issue. Don't skip this step. This will make or break your speech. Make sure you really work hard on thinking this part through. Again, save your strongest refutation for last.





Finally, sum up your argument. Summarize your points. Either leave the audience with a quote, or a call to some sort of action. Make sure the last sentence really gets their attention and gets them agreeing with you. That last sentence is so important! Use it wisely!
