A. INTRODUCTION
Tells your audience what you are going to tell them and establish the foundation for your speech. A good Introduction 'draws the map' for the journey. Just like your Informative Speech, a Persuasive Speech, an Introduction consists of:
1. Attention-Getter:
Is Capital punishment logical?
Is it legal?
Is it right?
2. Bond: Link-to Audience:
Every year…this many people are put to death?
3. "Credentials" of Speaker (Credibility):
Through examination of the constitution, religious views, and statistics
4. Destination / Objective Sentence:
Today I will address the common arguments for and against capital punishment.
State your Destination. Example: “This evening/today I am here to convince you that .... is the most effective way to learn."
5. Explain your Map to your Destination: Speech Preview:
Argument 1. “Capital punishment does not deter crime”
Argument 2. “Capital punishment violates the bill of rights”
Argument 3. “Capital punishment is not supported by religion”
Transition: A transition is how you move from one section or point to the next. It is a linking idea.
First let us address the first arguement
B. BODY of your Speech
The Body of your speech is where the detail is found and is best contained in THREE points (you can have more, but don't confuse your audience). For a Persuasive Speech, this is where you will ...
“Tell them”
1. “Capital punishment does not deter crime”
Oh really?
Historically
1960 – 56 executions – 9110 murders
1965 – 15 executions – 9960 murders
1969 – 0 executions – 14,760 murders
"The Death Penalty IS a Deterrent!" Wesley Lowe - The Necromancer Wars. Web. 01 Nov. 2009. <http://www.wesleylowe.com/deter.html>.
“United States Crime Rates 1960 – 2008” 01 Nov 2009.
<http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm>
Is it logical?
Transition: Clearly it deters crime
2. “The Death penalty goes against the bill of rights
First logic
The death penalty has been used throughout history and past the ratification of the constitution.
Fact
5th amendment –
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor bedeprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
Why would this phrase be included in the amendment unless it was understood and accepted that capital punishment was a accepted form of punishment?
8th Amendment- Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Current Execution method – lethal injection
Transition: It is supported by the constitution, what about religion?
3. Main Point #3
Christanity
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill” – Matt 5:17
If Jesus truly supported the law he must of supported the death penalty
Acts 25:11 “If I have done anything deserving of death, I will not refuse death…”
-Paul on his appeal to Cesear
http://www.learnthebible.org/would-jesus-oppose-the-death-penalty.html
Islam:
"[5.32]...whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our apostles came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land”
[6.151]...do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except for the requirements of justice; this He has enjoined you with that you may understand.

Transition: Create a linking statement to the Conclusion, eg “Let’s summarize ..." or “Can we consider these main points ..." or, “To refresh you with my points…” or “To reiterate… I believe that we must… due to the following: (restate main points or arguments presented).
C. CONCLUSION
“Tell them what you have told them”
1. Should the Death Penalty be allowed?
2. It is Definently a deterrent, It is constitutional , and it is supported by religion
3. Call-to-Action: The decision is important, and it is your to make.
4. Decision-Maker (optional):
“Coming around is the petition …”
“Being passed from the rear is a bag for your contribution to this noble cause, dig deep …”
“Those who agree with me may sign…”
“Those who are convince may now…”

Is it logical?
Transition: Clearly it deters crime
2. “The Death penalty goes against the bill of rights”
First logic
The death penalty has been used throughout history and past the ratification of the constitution.
Fact
5th amendment –
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor bedeprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
Why would this phrase be included in the amendment unless it was understood and accepted that capital punishment was a accepted form of punishment?
8th Amendment- Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Current Execution method – lethal injection
Transition: It is supported by the constitution, what about religion?
3. Main Point #3
Christanity
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill” – Matt 5:17
If Jesus truly supported the law he must of supported the death penalty
Acts 25:11 “If I have done anything deserving of death, I will not refuse death…”
-Paul on his appeal to Cesear

Islam:
"[5.32]...whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our apostles came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land”
[6.151]...do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except for the requirements of justice; this He has enjoined you with that you may understand.

A. INTRODUCTION
Tells your audience what you are going to tell them and establish the foundation for your speech. A good Introduction 'draws the map' for the journey. Just like your Informative Speech, a Persuasive Speech, an Introduction consists of:
1. Attention-Getter:
Is Capital punishment logical?
Is it legal?
Is it right?
2. Bond: Link-to Audience:
Every year…this many people are put to death?
3. "Credentials" of Speaker (Credibility):
Through examination of the constitution, religious views, and statistics
4. Destination / Objective Sentence:
Today I will address the common arguments for and against capital punishment.
State your Destination. Example: “This evening/today I am here to convince you that .... is the most effective way to learn."
5. Explain your Map to your Destination: Speech Preview:
Argument 1. “Capital punishment does not deter crime”
Argument 2. “Capital punishment violates the bill of rights”
Argument 3. “Capital punishment is not supported by religion”
Transition: A transition is how you move from one section or point to the next. It is a linking idea.
First let us address the first arguement
B. BODY of your Speech
The Body of your speech is where the detail is found and is best contained in THREE points (you can have more, but don't confuse your audience). For a Persuasive Speech, this is where you will ...
