Slide 3: The Big Idea (pages 78-79): To have community centers or hang out areas for our youth to keep them off the streets before they get involved with the wrong crowd and they will either be dead or incarcerated.
Slide 4: What’s in it for your audience? Explain why your topic is important or worth discussing. More youth are being incarcerated or dying because they are not involved or don’t have interest to do anything except turn to the streets. This is worth discussing because you as a parent need to be attentive to your child and their needs.
Slide 5: Why should your audience listen to you? Explain your ethos (personal experience, expertise, and credibility). My audience should listen to me because I have personal experience of losing someone dear to me to the streets by just being an innocent bystander. I am a father of one child and take care of any child that is in my presence. I never allow my child to be outside alone.
Slide 6: Call to Adventure (pages 38-39): If we take more action to get involved in our children’s lives as far as getting them involved in things that they passion or take them to community centers, after school programs, or trusted hang out areas, we will be able to save our children of the future.

These are the children of our future to be successful in whatever they want to achieve in life and without us as parents to back them up, they will end up with the wrong crowd either being incarcerated or dead.
