  1. Types of Speeches

  2. Objective: • Students will be introduced to different formats of speeches and the rhetorical devices that are used in speeches.

  3. Sequential • Speeches that go in order. They use the words –“first,” “second,” “third,” “next,” “last,” and “finally.” • For Example: How to make something, any type of directions (to your house, to Alabama, etc). • Cooking Shows

  4. Problem-Solution • A problem is presented and a solution is given. This type of speech can be given in two ways: • 1) Problem Solution Method: • ex:“ The freshman hallway is overcrowded and needs to be fixed. We will fix this problem by making them walk sideways.” • 2) Problem Cause Solution Method: • Ex: The smog caused by the nuclear plant is making the residents’ hair fall out. I propose we tear down the plant.

  5. Problem Solution examples • Presidential campaign speeches • School board meetings • Others?

  6. Comparison & Contrast • Describing the similarities and differences on a given topic. • Example- • 1) Healthcare between the United States and Canada. • 2) Dress code at Cleveland and Walker Valley. • 3) Different types of cell phones

  7. Cause & Effect • List the causes and explain the effects • “The smog is getting worse and causing more people to have breathing problems” • “The tornado killed 34 people” • Obesity increases the risk for heart disease.

  8. Rhetorical Devices

  9. Rhetorical Questions- • Questions used to prove a point. • They usually do not require an answer. • “How old are you?” = act your age • “Seriously?”= You’re acting dumb/You’re crazy.

  10. Parallelism & Repetition • Parallelism-In its simplest form, consists of single words that have a slight variation in meaning: “released and set free” or “overtake and surpass.” • “Walkin’ on the highways and byways…” • Persevere and press on! • Annabeth is nice and sweet. • Repetition- Repeating important points for effect.

  11. Analogies • In it’s simplest form, it is a comparison. • You are trying to show how two items are similar or different. This is accomplished by relating the issue to something the audience is familiar with. • “It’s like tying your shoes, you just have to practice” • “It’s as simple as signing your name.”

  12. Analogies • Analogies are essentially the same thing as simile's and metaphors … • It takes something you know and compares it to a concept the person giving the speech wants you to understand.

  13. "I look at this as being in the form of a house...and the students are the foundation, and the teachers are the walls, and the roof itself is the school. And we know that if you have a weak foundation, the walls and the roof can't be supported. Therefore, it crumbles." • "Don't worry about the future; or worry -- but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum."

  14. Hyperbole • You should remember this. • It’s an extreme exaggeration. In speeches it’s used to make a point. • It can make a problem seem worse or make something look better than it really is. • “This is the worst natural disaster in human history”

  15. Non-Verbal Communication

  16. Types • Volume • Pace • Tone • Mumbling • Nervousness • Hostility/defensiveness • Others? • How can you tell when someone is uncomfortable giving a speech?
