Informative Speaking

None of This!!!

Remember… Speech & Essay

• Three Main Parts:
• Introduction
• Body
• Conclusion

Conclusion of Speech:

• Two main functions of a good conclusion:
• Refer to your introduction and summarize your main points; this kind of overview is an especially important way to reinforce your message for listeners
• End with a quotation, an anecdote, or thought-provoking final statement

Ok…

• Now that you have the content and organization of your speech down…
• It is time to discuss the DELIVERY of your speech

Speech Delivery:

HOW you will present your information

Speech Delivery:

• You will give your speech EXTEMPORANEOUSLY

Speech Delivery:

• EXTEMPORANEOUS
• An extemporaneous speech is outlined and rehearsed but not memorized
• Speakers may use an outline or note cards
• Most professional speakers use this method in order to seem more spontaneous and to adapt their presentation according to their audience’s various reactions

BEWARE:

• You may use note cards or an outline as CUES or tools to hold phrases or quotes you will state WORD-FOR-WORD in your speech
• HOWEVER: DO NOT STAND UP IN FRONT OF THE CLASS AND CONSTANTLY LOOK DOWN AT THEM…AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…
• DO NOT READ THEM

Speech Delivery:

• You may wish to use some type of mnemonic, memory, devices to help yourself and your audience remember your main points:
• Parallel structure
• Acronyms
• Images

Speech Delivery:

• What does the following phrase mean?
• “I see what you say, I hear what you look like”
