  3. Working outlines

  4. Formal Outline: • Typed with consistent font and style • Consistent set of symbols to identify structure • Follows the rule of division • Contains Complete Sentences • Do not use questions for points • Follow Required Guidelines and Format • See Provided Example

  5. From Outline to Speaking Notes

  6. Speaking Notes • Do not use your formal outline • Brief key word outline • 3 X 5 cards; or speaker’s notes • May want to put quotes, • First/ last sentence on cards, • major statistics, • and notes to yourself (slow down, smile, movement, breathe)

  7. Develop Each Part of the Speech

  8. Body – 70-80% • Develop the Body before fleshing out the Introduction of Conclusion • 1st, organize material in a logical order:

  9. Organizing Speeches Time patterns/Chronological Space Patterns/Spatial Topic Patterns/Topical Problem/Solution Patterns Cause-Effect Patterns Monroe’s Motivated Sequence

  10. 2nd, Insert Transitions and Internal Summaries • Transitions • words and/or phrases which keep the speech flowing smoothly • Internal Summaries • Longer than a transition • Includes a preview and review

  11. Now, move on to the Introduction

  12. Introduction – 10-15% Should fulfill four functions: • Includes an Attention Getter: • piques the audience interest and gets them to listen • Should be the very first thing you say before you reveal your topic • Create a connection between speaker and audience

  13. Has a clearly stated Thesis A creative statement with one idea that introduces your topic and focuses the attention of the audience on your main goal Offers a Preview A statement that tells the audience about the main things you will discuss in the speech

  14. Finally, wrap it all up in the Conclusion

  15. Conclusion – 10-15% Provide a Brakelight Recap Main Points/Relevance Wrap up with a Clincher Statement (memory aid or support device are great to use here) Use Clear Polished Ending

  16. Giving your Speech Substance

  17. SUPPORTING MATERIAL data you use to back up your points Includes: Support Devices, Visual Aids, and Vocal Citations Support Devices: This is basically a way of presenting your research using these methods. • Examples • Anecdotes • Analogies • Quotes • Statistics • Definitions • Compare/Contrast • Narration

  18. Establish the credibility of your support devices Use recognizable organizations and people Or Be sure to tell us about the person or organization

  19. Types of Visual Aids

  20. Diagrams – line drawing showing the most important parts (cell)

  21. Objects – actual thing

  22. Model – scaled representation

  23. Word Charts and Number charts main points in speech; Top 10Pop/Rock Songs

  24. Pie Charts – out of 100%Types of Dogs in a Competition

  25. Bar and Colum Charts – compare variables

  26. Line Charts Good to show changes over time

  27. Guidelines for Visual Aids • CVS Principle: a prescription for a great visual aid • Clarity – easily understood • Visibility – at least 2 inch letters • Simplicity - rule of seven • 7 words per 7 lines

  28. Follow the FUR Principle: Helps others follow, understand, and remember Collegiate Quality Reliability – work, won’t backfire

  29. Vocal Citations.Give Credit to Your Sources Failure to provide proper credit is plagiarism A Quote ≠ a Vocal Citation Ex: Mark Twain said it best when he said, “It takes three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.”

  30. Vocal citations include the name of the source – cite sources first Example: In the July 9 issue of the Daily News Gazette, 80% of all college professors were reported as saying that students do not use correct vocal citations. All statistics and quotes MUST have vocal citations.
