Hey Guys, I am doing a Persuasive Speech titled "CHICKENS FOR A PURPOSE".
Here is the first part of the assignment where I had to get the ok for the topic I chose:
Here is the first part of the assignment where I had to get the ok for the topic I chose:
Reason: The reason I chose this topic is because I have chickens and they serve different purposes around my house.
Purpose: To make my audience aware of the fact that chickens are more than just birds/poultry running around the backyard.
Thesis: I will try to persuade you to at least consider chickens as production animals rather than just birds/poultry by 1) Telling you how they are used for pest control. 2) Telling you how they are used for fertilizer. 3) How they help put food on the table.
I have owned chickens off and own for 20 years, and have done all the reasearch and even self taght experiences needed to be able to make myself a crediteble speaker on the topic.
The problem I have with putting this speech together is the "NEW INFORMATION" that I need to leave the audience with.
Here is where I need help, I would like to leave them with a figure of how many people own chickens. I have done a google search and cant find a specific number: Can anyone help find this number, or am I searching for a needle in the hay satck?
thanks in advance
Bruce
