The Last of the Speech Notes

Classes, when creating your outline for Tuesday, remember this structure:

Outline: (make sure it is typed and your sources are listed!!!)

I. Introduction (perhaps a question or preview of speech) INCLUDE THESIS STATEMENT!!!
II. Main Point #1
A. sub point
B. sub point
C. sub point
(perhaps transition)
III. Main Point #2
A. sub point
B. sub point
C. sub point
(perhaps transition)
IV. Main Point #3
A. sub point
B. sub point
C. sub point
( perhaps transition)
V. Conclusion: tie it up and restate thesis/ introduction


Note: Avoid language in conclusion such as: " That's it" or "That's all I got" or " I' m done"
Remember: You may have more subpoints than 3, but not less unless you check with me.

Other stuff that I noticed on your proposals:

1. remember your time: 3-5 minutes!!! Plan accordingly, PRACTICE!!!
2. Follow the outline, this will focus your speech!!
3. Consider the audience, you will want their attention!! DO NOT OFFEND!!! I will stop anyone in midspeech if communication becomes offensive to anyone!!!
4. Make sure you have a powerpoint presentation unless you have checked with me!!!
5. You must have 3 reliable sources, a simple photograph does not equal one source!!!
6. Stay away from coming off persuasive, stay informative!!!!
7. Make sure that you have three main ideas that make sense and can be elaborated on. Again, the outline should help with this!!

We will work through the fine tuning on Thursday!! This is one of those MANDATORY DAYS!!!!
