Monroe's motivated sequence

Monroe's motivated sequence is basically the directions on a persuasive speech broken down. It consists of getting peoples attention which you can do by shocking them with a story or perhaps a statistic. Then you need to explain the need to the problem and how it can affect your audience. Next you want to have a solution to the problem being presented. Lastly, you need to show people visually what will or can happen if no measures are taken and call them to take action, making them feel important and like they have a hand on the issue. The problem solution pattern is pretty much the same in steps. I think that the main purpose of these two systems is to get the audience involved in what you are talking about. This helps make your topic an important issue and calls the audience out to do something about the issue. I think that these are great methods to use for a persuasive speech not only because it is a good attention holder though out the speech but also because it pretty much rounds out your speech.
