=== Select a topic that allows you to motivate === The key thing is: does your topic allow you to talk about a policy problem, policy solutions, and doable calls to action? Steer clear of social ills. I once had someone who wanted to do an advocacy speech on βbeing nicer.β This was too vague. Rather, you are looking for broad issues that can be understood in a problem/solution/action format: same sex marriage, increasing funding for NASA, getting charter schools for Washington State, increasing P.E. requirements in Washington State schools. In a similar vein, you might argue increasing funding or support for a specific non-profit group working to end a larger ill. I have had students argue, quite compellingly, for increased support for agencies working to end sex trafficking. We will discuss advocacy topics more in class.
