Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires selecting one of two topics for a persuasive speech outline. The first topic, Topic A, focuses on a value question: "Should Children Under the Age of 10 Own Cell Phones?" The second, Topic B, addresses a policy question: "Should Self-Driving Cars Be Legal?" After choosing the topic, students must develop an outline or speaking notes using a provided Microsoft Word template available in the course materials. The outline must include a clear specific purpose, a central idea or thesis statement, and several main points that support the stance on the chosen issue. To ensure the speech fits within a four-minute timeframe, the main points should be concise and well-organized. Additionally, at least two credible and high-quality resources should be incorporated to substantiate the arguments or evidence presented in the outline. Submissions are to be completed by uploading the finalized outline via Blackboard, separate from any speech or self-review components. It is important to note that students are not required to write the full speech or essay for this assignment—only the outline or speaking notes are necessary. This structured outline will serve as the foundation for a persuasive speech, ensuring clarity, focus, and adequate preparation for delivery.
