Grading Interpretation

Call to action

It is preferable to have a clear call to action at the end of your speech; it makes for a much stronger persuasion than passive agreement.

Your call to action can be actual:
- signing a petition or letter.
  - Make sure we know the gist of the petition or letter before distribution.
  - Make sure you know who to send the letter or petition to.
  - Have it for us. Telling us to go and write a letter or find the petition is impractical.
- making a donation.
- attending an event or rally.
- changing behavior.
Your call to action can be symbolic:
- taking an oath or wearing a ribbon.
- taking a pamphlet.
Make your call to action clear, easy and practical
