  1. So I have to give a speech… Public Speaking Notes

  2. Never fear! • There is a recipe for success when it comes to public speaking. • Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, gets nervous about speaking in front of others. It’s all about being prepared, focusing on what you can control, and practicing, practicing, practicing!

  3. Understand the Format • INTRO • AGD • Narrowing Statement • Preview Statement • Transition Statement 1 • Main Point 1 • Transition Statement 2 • Main Point 2 • CONCLUSION • Review Statement • Closing Information • Tieback

  4. Attention Getting Device (AGD) • Grabs the listener’s attention • Can be a… • Tell a short story • Ask a question Rhetorical Question (Do not want or expect listeners to answer) • Make a statement that shocks, surprises, or intrigues • Cite a quotation • Arouse curiosity • Provide a visual aid or demonstration • Tell an appropriate joke that relates to your topic

  5. Narrowing Information • Sentences that link your AGD to your topic. • You should have one sentence that does each of the following: • Introduce your topic • State your purpose • Establishes your credibility

  6. Preview Statement • Single sentence! • Echoes wording and order of main points • Includes • Statement of Topic • Lists areas of discussion • Offers a road map of content • Declarative sentence (says what you’ll tell us)

  7. So this is what the Introduction looks like! The introduction starts out with the AGD, which is less specific to your topic. It has broad appeal The narrowing statement makes a connection between your AGD and your topic. The preview statement tells specifically what the speech is about. Attention Getting Device Narrowing Statement Your intro is always shaped like an ice cream cone…and will taste as sweet! Preview Statement

  8. Main Points • Your main points are like body paragraph in an essay. • Contain the main information that you hope to convey

  9. Transition Statements • Transitions are statements that connect ideas in our writing or speeches. They review what’s already been said and hint at what’s to come. • You should have a transition statement before each main point. These are built in for you on your speech outline. • EX: In order to better understand the importance of my Grandmother’s necklace to my family, we need to have an understanding of its history. • (This would be the transition at the beginning of main point #1, where we transition from Topic to what our first main point is about) • EX: Now that we discussed the necklace’s history, we can understand its place in my family. • (This would be the transition at the beginning of main point #2, where we transition from the previous paragraphto what our second main point is about)

  10. Conclusion Paragraph • REVIEW Statement: Restates the main points of your speech and reminds the listener of your topic. • CLOSING Information: info necessary to wrap up and anything you want the audience to take away from your speech • TIEBACK: References back to your AGD Review Statement Closing Tieback An upside down ice cream cone: Your conclusion goes from specific to more broad; the opposite of the Introduction.

  11. To Review: • INTRO • AGD • Narrowing Statement • Preview Statement • Transition Statement 1 • Main Point 1 • Transition Statement 2 • Main Point 2 • CONCLUSION • Review Statement • Closing Information • Tieback Transition 1 Main Point 1 Transition 2 Main Point 2
