Discuss Monroe's Motivated Sequence and the Problem/Solution organizational pattern in detail. Explain which organizational pattern you would prefer to use for the final speech in this course. (This may take a google search of the terms: "Monroe's Motivated Sequence", and "Problem Solution Pattern" in order to better understand each organizational pattern.)
The Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (MMS) motivate your audience to respond to your speech the way you want them to, you organize your speech in such a way that you lead your audience through a five-step thought process that encourages them to agree with you and take action. When you use this organizational pattern, you focus clearly on what you want the audience to think and do every step of the way throughout your speech.
The sequence contains five distinct steps:
(1) Attention (get the attention of your audience),
(2) Need (describe the problem, demonstrate a need for change),
(3) Satisfaction (present a practical, and concise solution),
(4) Visualization (allow your audience to picture the results),
(5) Action (request immediate action from your audience).
In contrast, the Problem Solution Pattern does not necessarily utilize visualization and emphasis on how action can be taken to actually help the solution come true (as in the MMS) but using this pattern successfully requires clearly establishing the problem's existence. Once the audience is convinced the problem exists, they will listen to your suggested solution, which must also seem reasonable.
I like both patterns, but for my persuasive speech about global warmth I'd like to use problem-solution pattern of organization. I think it fits easily with my topic because it is a big problem and I have to propose a solution. This organizational pattern is pretty simple, problem-solution. Maybe this organization pattern would be easy to organize. Closely related to the problem-solution pattern of organization is the Monroe Motivated Sequence. Alan Monroe developed this sequence in the 1930s as a way to organize sales presentations. This sequence is widely seen in television and radio advertisement today.
