Example of a Persuasive Speech

• SUBJECT The Spork GENERAL PURPOSE To persuade
• SPECIFIC PURPOSE To persuade the audience about
  the importance of sporks, by informing them about
  spork uses, history and what exactly a spork is.
• CENTRAL IDEA Sporks are the greatest eating
  utensil in the world..
• Outline
• Introduction
• Attention Getting Device Imagine you have your
  girlfriend over for dinner and you are eating
  soup. Then for dessert you pull out chocolate
  cake. You then realize all you have is spoons
  from the soup and no fork to eat the cake. You
  end up looking like a complete idiot and your
  date walks out on you.
• Identify the problem How do you prevent this
  from happening again? There is a simple one word
  answer - the SPORK!
• Preview Statement That's right, a spork. Sporks
  have many different uses, with an extensive
  history. Today I'm going to tell you exactly why
  we need sporks and where to get them.

• Intro) What is a spork? It's not quite a spoon
  and not quite a fork
• A) It is a blend of the two. It is rounded
  like a spoon with a shallow area to hold
  liquids, while it often has three or four
  prongs on the end that work like a fork.
• B) A spork is not to be confused with a foon. A
  foon is the Inverse of the spork. One can turn a
  spork into a foon through a process known as
  fooning.
• 1. Fooning is done by placing your thumb on
  the bottom of the spork and gently pressing
  inward until it is a foon.
• 2. This takes many practices because it will
  break the first few times.
• Body 1) As I said often a problem arises when you
  are eating something like meat or vegetables and
  then when the dessert is ice cream, you can't use
  the fork. That is where the spork is the
  perfect solution. It can do the function of both
  a fork and a spoon, enabling you to switch from
  course to course.

11

• Body 2) History
• A) There are many different theories on the
  origin of the spork.
• 1. The first is that the spork is God's divine
  creation. Because of its perfection, some say
  that it can only be the work of God.
• 2. Others say it was invented by the Van Brode
  Milling Company who patented it in 1970.
• B) There are many types of sporks, not just
  plastic. There are metal sporks, wooden sporks
  and even soft rubber sporks.

12

• Body 2) Spork Uses
• A) Mike at KFC informed me that they use sporks
  because the fork part is good for the chicken and
  some vegetables while the spoon part is ideal for
  the mashed potatoes.
• B) Kita was not sure why Taco Bell uses sporks
  but she said they were soon getting rid of them
  and would be using regular forks. I do not know
  what's wrong with the people at Taco Bell.
• C) There are other uses for the spork other than
  being the perfect eating utensil

13

• 1. key chains 2. hang from rear view mirrors
• 3. Tree ornament 4. pooper scooper
• 5. self defense 6. tooth picker
• 7. earrings 8. spoilers for cars
• 9. weapons for countries who cannot afford guns
• 10. acupuncture therapy 11. survival tool
• 12. make good gifts and party favors
• 13. swimming pool toys 14. dissection tools
• 15. nose picker 16. comb
• 17. Sporkinator (action figure)

14

• Conclusion
• 1) Summary So as you can see sporks are the
  world's perfect creation. You can eat anything
  with a spork and use them for much, much more.
• 2) Action So to find out more about sporks, go
  to the Less Than Official Spork Page which is at
  http//www.spork.org. Also, I challenge you to
  get your own sporks.
• 3) Concluding Devise
• A) To make your own sporks, take a spoon of your
  preferred material and cut three triangular
  shapes in the top.
• B) Or you can get your very own spork at KFC or
  Taco Bell. Then just set them at your table and
  you will be high class.
