Discuss on a Persuasive Speech topic that includes documented research on a topic of your choice. It is important for the speech to provide background material for the audience, who might not be familiar with the topic of your choice.

It's a good idea to divide the speech into 3 sections: the background information, the opposing side's view, and then your view. There are different methods of providing the background information all of which involve research. You should also build in references to your sources in the speech itself.
