...Organizing the Preparation Outline I. Start with Main Points A. Look at the research and try to find a way to organize your main points (chronological, spatial, topical, problem- solution, cause-effect). B. You should have at least two and no more than four main points. C. Try to keep the wording as similar as possible in all the main points, and state them in full sentences (not in fragments). Also, devote an appropriate amount of time to each one. II. Next, Make Components of the Main Points with Subpoints A. Look at the research that fits under each main point and come up with key ideas that belong to these main points. These will be your sub points. You need at least two sub points for each main point. B. Subpoints can be in complete sentences or fragments. III. Support Your Subpoints with Sub-Subpoints (your facts and examples) A. You must have at least four sources, that will be cited in the context of your speech, in your outline, and on your Reference section at the end of your outline (look at the Hula sample outline).

...discussed in the text, develop and construct a speech of description, demonstration, or explanation. 1. Speech of Description: This speech should provide a “clear picture” of your subject. Describing the Statue of Liberty is an example of this type of speech. 2. Speech of Demonstration: This speech should help the listener learn a new skill, behavior, or technique. Showing students how to create a web site is an example of this type of speech. (See my web page for a list of ideas on How To speeches) 3. Speech of Explanation: This speech offers information about topics that are abstract and difficult to understand. Explaining the effects of global warming is an example of this type of speech. Procedures: Select one of the above and develop a 5-7 minute presentation. The speech should be carefully organized and contain a clear purpose statement. (We will discuss the outline format in class) Use visual aids where appropriate. (Note for Demonstration speeches visual aids are required) Use an extemporaneous speaking style.

...Traditional On Campus Class Welcome to the Traditional On Campus version of Speech 103 Oral Communication! I look forward to getting to know each of you. Over the years, I have learned that many of you dread taking this class (don’t worry I felt the same way when I had to take this class) but I hope that you will find your worries to be unfounded. I work very hard to try to create a comfortable learning environment, primarily because I need you to participate in order for this class to work. This is a participatory-based class where we will all work together to help each other improve our communication skills. Consequently, you will play an active role in your own learning as well as active role in the learning of the other students in this class. Research has shown that when you are an active participant in a class you increase how much you remember as well as how much you can recall after the semester has ended. However, I have found that when you are an active participant in my class you will look forward to coming to each class session and your fears of public speaking will soon decrease. Since this class is participatory, you will find that you will put a lot of thought and effort into this class. Much learning will occur both in class and out side of class. However, while this class is demanding, I hope that you will both enjoy this experience and learn a great deal about communication, how you communicate, and how to be a better...

The commentary explains the procedures used in organizing the speech and writing the outline. (Check with your teacher to see if she or he wants you to include a title with your outline.) Panic Attacks | COMMENTARY | Topic: Panic Attack | Stating your specific purpose and central idea as separate units before the text of the outline makes it easier to judge how well you have constructed the outline to achieve your purpose and to communicate your central idea. | Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the nature, extent, and symptoms of panic attacks. Central Idea: Panic attacks are serious medical conditions whose fearful symptoms affect millions of people. | Labeling the introduction marks it as a distinct section that plays a special role in the speech. | Introduction | The opening story gets attention and, as it progresses, reveals the topic of the speech. | I. I can't breathe, my arms are tingling, I'm really dizzy, and it feels as if my heart is about to fly out of my chest. II. When this happened to me three years ago at an outdoor concert, I was really frightened. A. At the time, I had no idea what was going on. B. My doctor told me later that I had experienced a panic attack. | Here the speaker establishes her credibility and previews the main points to be discussed...

...Speeches Sweaty palms, perspiration running down your face, dry mouth; these are all the signs of someone who is nervous about giving a speech. When thinking about speaking sometimes it brings fear. It is important to remember that public speaking is a part of everyday life. You may not have a large audience, but you do have an audience and you must convey what you are trying to get across to them. Public speaking is another form of conversation. There is as rich history in public speaking. As early as ancient Greece speeches were required as part of the education. Plato said that Rhetoric is the art of winning the soul by discourse. Aristotle identified the basic elements of good speech and persuasion as ethos, logos, and pathos. The ethos (credibility, believability) of the speaker was important; the logos (logic) behind any conclusions drawn by the speaker during the course of the speech needed to be valid and clear; and the pathos (emotional appeals) were important in making human connections between the speaker and the listener. In the Bible there are many examples of this process. “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set his disciples came unto him. And he opened his mouth and taught them saying, Blessed are the poor is spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” (Thompson King James Version Bible, Psalm 139:1-10)This familiar...

...Speaking – COMMSTUD.103 Preparation Outline Guide for all 3 graded speeches The preparation outline helps you prepare the speech. The outline reflects a student’s research and thoughts about their presentation topic. In addition, this outline helps to verify that the speech is the original work of the student. Furthermore, the instructor uses the outline to provide comments and suggestions to students for future speeches. Guidelines for writing the Preparation Outline: Please see chapter 10 for additional information about preparation outlines and a sample preparation outline with commentary. The preparation outline must be 2 to 3 pages, typed, stapled, and free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors or points will be deducted from your speech grade. Copies of PowerPoint slides (if used, print 6 slides per page) must also be stapled to the preparation outline. Evaluation: There will not be a separate grade for the preparation outline, but it will contribute to your overall speech grade. A poorly written outline or one that does not meet the provided criteria (see sample outline) may reduce your speech grade. On the other hand, a well written outline can improve your speech grade. Submission guidelines: Please note that TWO submissions are required to earn full credit for your speech. 1) Before you present your speech (on your way up to the podium),you are required to hand-in a typed 2-3 page preparation outline to the instructor. This allows the...

...Introductory speech instructions The purpose of this assignment is to get you started with public speaking in a relatively informal context. The instructor will assign one of your classmates to be your partner, and you will develop a speech designed to introduce your partner to the rest of the class. How to construct your speech: 1. First, get to know your partner! Ask lots of questions about your partner’s background and their interests. Look for major points of interest—such as hobbies, life events, or unique experiences—and ask your partner to provide you with more detailed information about them. These major points of interest will become the main points of your speech. And of course, you should be sure to return the favor by answering all of your partner’s questions about you. 2. Once you think you have enough material to work with, start outlining your speech. Use brief sentences to write out an introduction, a thesis, two main points, and a conclusion. Your thesis (and therefore, your speech) should address the following question: what kind of person is my classmate? Think about two qualities or attributes that describe your partner. Your classmate could be someone like: a sports fan, a musical talent, an outdoorsman, a car enthusiast, a spontaneous free spirit, or anything else that comes to mind. Be creative! 3. Once your full-sentence outline is completed, you can start rehearsing your speech. Be sure that your speech is not written out word-for-word;...
