Dec 1: Revised speech outline

Intro

Here as students of USF, we all have experienced, or at least seen, the intensity of Lone Mountain. We’re given the options of walking up several flights of stairs all the way up to get to class or walking up a ridiculously long and steep hill to get to campus. However, what about those who don’t have these options? What about people with disabilities that prevent them from walking up an extreme amount of stairs or an extremely long hill? Should they be barred from getting the classes and requirements they need because the school cannot accommodate them? I don’t think so. I believe the school should install some sort of motorized system (escalators, motorized ramps, etc.) to help those who need it get to class.

Body 1

• Talk about how many hills the city of san francisco already has, and use emotional appeal to show that students with disabilities already struggle in this city, the least the school can do is make things easier

Body 2

• Cite national school regulations and disability requirements

Body 3

• Talk about how much a motorized ramp would cost to install
• Talk about the problems it would fix
• Talk about how many more students would come to this school if it were more disability friendly

Conclusion

• Restate ideas and reinforce the importance of being accessible to everyone.

NOTES:

There is a service but it does not work well. Campus transport system.

Look for successful examples
