Present the speech 4-6 min. So please make sure that you upload the two requirements (outline and the speech paper)
A typed, key-word outline is due at the time your speech is recorded and is worth 10 of the 100 points. A template that you can use to create your outline is posted on Blackboard - click on "Samples", then on "Outline Template". Complete your outline and email to me before recording your speech.
Also, take note of the "Informative Speech Scoresheet" posted on Blackboard. This is how your speech will be graded. Pay careful attention to the structure of your speech and be sure all of the elements on the scoresheet are included so you will receive the points for doing them. Descriptions of the items on the list are in your textbook and the study guide. Your speech should included the following:
1) Introduction (5 parts in this order) - 1. Attention-Getter, 2. State the Title, 3. Explain the importance of relevance of your topic, 4. Explain your credibility/background that enables you to speak as an authority on the topic, 5. Tell us the 3 main points you will cover during the speech.
2) Body (3 main points with supporting material) - 1. Main points should be previewed in the introduction, clearly stated and identified during the speech, and mentioned again in the closing, 2. Signpost each of the 3 main points (see the textbook for description of the 4 S's), 3. State the points, 4. Provide adequate supporting material for each point, 5. Use a summary statement to end each main point section before moving to the next item.
3) Closing (3 parts in this order) - 1. Restate the 3 main points you just talked about in the speech, 2. Summarize the overall message of your speech, 3. Provide a definite closure or ending to the speech (DO NOT END WITH "That's it" or "That's all I've got", etc.) Close with a purpose.
