Persuasive Speeches

Well, the persuasive issues speeches are underway! Please post your critiques here. Be sure that all critiques are detailed and make comment to how well the presenters applied their argument to Monroe's Motivated Sequence, in addition to including the supporting sources needed to provide the necessary reasoning and evidence. Remember, arguments need logic and evidence every step of the way to be peruasive. Holes in the argument ( lack of evidence) need to be addressed in this critique.
