How to Construct an Argumentative Speech

This week you will begin the process of constructing an argumentative speech. It is somewhat easy to get argumentative and persuasive speeches mixed up, because they do have some elements in common. For this reason, it is important that you understand the basic construction of an argumentative speech, and how it is different from a persuasive speech. To complete this assignment, you will create a short paper in google docs, outlining the basic construction of an argumentative speech. What is it important to remember when writing this type of speech? How is it different from persuasive speeches? Your paper needs to be at least two pages.
