Structuring the Speech
The three main basic parts of the speech:
What is the introduction, the body, and the conclusion?
What is the chronological pattern of arrangement?
To develop a speech, one should plan on creating these two outlines:
What is a working outline and a speaking outline?
What is informative speaking?
The Informative Outline is due:
When is October 20 at 8:00 A.M.?
These are used to express the key ideas of the speech. Their function represents each of the major ideas or claims being made.
What are the Main Points?
When describing the physical arrangement of a place, a scene, or an object, logic suggests that the main points can be arranged in order of their physical proximity or direction relative to one another. This calls for:
What is a spatial pattern of arrangement?
In this outline, it should be formatted by each main point and supporting point, which are stated in much the same way you will express the idea during delivery:
Early in an informative speech, the speaker should give the audience members:
What is a reason to care about the message?
What are the time requirements of the Informative Speech?
What is Minimum 6 Maximum 8 Minutes?
The words, phrases, and sentences that tie ideas together, give direction of a speech.
What are transitions?
This pattern organizes the main points to demonstrate the nature and significance followed by a proposed solution:
What is a Problem-Solution Pattern?
This uses a partial construction of the sentence form of each point:
What is a phrase outline?
Using what types of rhetorical devices, can help reinforce information and drive home key ideas?
What are repetition and parallelism?
How many, if any, sources are required for the Informative Speech?
What are two?
One needs to adhere to these principles when arranging a well-organized speech:
What is Unified, Coherent, and Balanced Organization?
When it appears that each of the main points can be presented as a subtopic or a category of the speech topic, one should try:
What is the topical pattern (or the categorial pattern)?
This outline uses the smallest possible units of understanding to outline the main and supporting points. Requires one to become familiar enough with their speech to only glance at the outline:
What is a key-word outline?
Informative speaking is to enlighten versus to:
What is to advocate?
Students have three options for speeches. Which topics can they choose from:
What is an object, person, or place (a person, place or thing)? What is a current event issue (a controversial topic)? What is a concept (a belief, theory or idea)?
What is a preview?
Storytelling is often a natural and effective way to get your message across. In this pattern, the speech consists of a story or a series of short stories, complications, or resolutions:
What is a narrative pattern?
Transitions, Timing, Speaking Rate, Volume, Presentation Aids, Sources, Statistics, and Quotations- are all forms of:
What are Delivery Cues?
Audiences want to learn something new. To satisfy this, a speaker should provide:
What is seeking out information that is fresh and compelling, unusual (but credible) sources novel (but sound) interpretations, moving stories, compelling examples, and striking facts?
What is one?
