A persuasive speech is designed to get others to think or do something you want them to do. • Explain that students will be planning and writing a short speech from the point of view of either a War Hawk or a merchant in America in 1812. Explain that you will be James Madison, and that students will be presenting their speeches to you trying to persuade you either to go to war with Britain or not go to war with Britain.
