So a lot of you might have a big persuasive speech coming up that is worth a lot of points. You might also have absolutely no clue what you are going to make it about. I was just in that same situation a few weeks ago when it was time for me to pick my topics. The tricky part for me was that once a topic was chosen by someone, then we were not allowed to do that topic anymore.
Unfortunately, I was one of the last ones to get a reply back from my professor regarding my topics and I was left with ones that I did not really like.
Hopefully, for your class you can choose topics that are already chosen. If so lucky you!
Below are some of the topics that I have come up with and debated choosing. I might add more to the list, so be sure to subscribe to my email list.
