PURPOSE: The purpose of this speech is to make a claim of value based on your ideas as to whether a topic is good or bad, right or wrong, moral or immoral, etc. A persuasive speech can only occur in a situation in which two or more points of view exist. Therefore, you must take a stance on the value of a particular issue or idea.TOPIC: For a value speech, most topics are generally issued based. However, you could choose to advocate the value of an object or product (Zaxby’s has the best chicken fingers, Ford make the best car, etc.). For issue-based speeches, there are several topics that are off limits for this speech as they have been overused and really do not have “new” arguments that can be developed. These topics include:Legalizing Marijuana, Seatbelts Organ/Blood Donation, Abortion, Gun Control, Euthanasia, Death Penalty, Lowering the Drinking Age, Same Sex Marriage, Why to Exercise, Why not to Smoke, Drink, Engage in Unsafe Sexual Practices. Be unique.When choosing your topic, try to pick a subject that foremost interests you. Then, based on the information you read from your textbook about audience adaptation, try to make that subject interesting to your classmates. The ultimate power of making your speech engaging and interesting lies in your hands. Remember, the more you care about your topic, the more likely the audience is going to be interested in it, even if they weren’t before your speech. Keep in mind for this speech that if your topic does not directly affect your audience in some way, they won’t care enough to be persuaded.DELIVERY: You should be delivering your speeches extemporaneously from a keyword outline (3 notecards) which can only contain key words and phrases; no full sentences. You may only have writing on the front side of each notecard.ASSIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS: 1. The speech should be 5-7 minutes in length. (minus 3 points for every 15 seconds over/under the time limit).2.

It is important that you cover all the topics identified in the assignment. Covering the topic does not mean mentioning the topic BUT presenting an explanation from the context of ethics and the readings for this class I am a stickler for good organization in everything. I do not want to have to dig for your answers. For instance, if an assignment asks you to provide three examples of something, I suggest that you number them 1-3 so I can find them easily. I also expect that when you submit something as a narrative, you pay attention to how you organize your thoughts: use paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences; and change paragraphs whenever you introduce a new idea. Also, if there are multiple parts to an assignment, use sub-heads within the paper to organize them. To get maximum points you need to follow the requirements listed for this assignments 1) look at the word/page limits 2) review and follow APA rules 3) create subheadings to identify the key sections you are presenting and 4) Free from typographical and sentence construction errors.

The Prompt:
1. Discuss the cause of lactose intolerance, which group of children are more likely to experience this condition, and what dietary modifications need to be made.
2. Identify six non-meat protein sources.
3. How could you provide calcium to a child who is allergic to milk and dairy products?

reply to 
1. Discuss the cause of lactose intolerance, which group of children are more likely to experience this condition, and what dietary modifications need to be made.
-Lactose intolerance is due to someone not making lactose, which leads to not being able to break lactose down or have lactose absorbed. Native, Asian, Mexican, and African Americans as well as Jewish children are more likely to experience lactose intolerance. Some modifications can be made for children that are lactose intolerant, some being to only eat dairy twice a day and spaced out if you do or do not eat any product that contains dairy if you are still having a bad reaction. You could replace dairy products with appropriate substitutes that do not contain dairy. Now, a lot of different restaurants and grocery stores have many options for people with lactose intolerance. Often times, the products are more costly but it is worth it so you do not get sick or have stomach issues.
2. Identify six non-meat protein sources.
-Many different types of beans and nuts, tofu, peanut butter, cheese, milk, and eggs are all non-meat protein packed foods. There are so many more different protein sources that do not contain meat.
3. How could you provide calcium to a child who is allergic to milk and dairy products?
-You could provide calcium supplements or vitamins that contain calcium to a child that is allergic to milk or dairy products or just not getting enough calcium in general. You could also make sure you feed the child things like broccoli, collards, kale, cabbage, oranges and orange juice, almonds and peanuts, breads and pasta’s, cereal, and soy milk.
