Here is your goal for this assignment: Plan and give an effective speech

Select one of the following speech ideas to put the qualities of a good speaker into practice.

1. Interview an interesting person, asking him or her questions you have prepared in advance. Take notes of the answers, organize and summarize the interview, and prepare a speech to give to your teacher or a friend.

2. Give an autobiographical speech. Select one incident from your life that would appeal to an audience of your peers. Organize all the facts or events concerning this incident into a logical sequence.

Use the outline form as a guide for preparing either speech topic.

OUTLINE

Title:

I. Main Point:

A. Subpoint: (information supporting the main point)

B. Subpoint:

C. Subpoint:

II. Main Point:

A. Subpoint

B. Subpoint:

C. Subpoint:

Modify this outline framework to meet the needs of your topic. Your subject may have from two to four main points and from two to five subpoints under each main point (but having a total of more than about 10 points will weaken your speech). You must have at least two subpoints for each main point.

Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror or with a partner.
If you are able, have someone record your speech so that you can also evaluate it according to the points listed below.
Have your teacher or a friend evaluate your speech using the following points.

Did the speaker:

1. Know the subject?

2. Show enthusiasm?

3. Use meaningful gestures?

4. Use a pleasant, expressive voice?

5. Set a pleasing pace?

6. Speak clearly?

7. Use humor carefully?
