Informative Speech

Description

hello,  line and a separate document for myself to read off of while im recording. .  The informative speech will be 2-3 minutes and focused on relaying facts and supporting points that will either introduce the audience to new information or build on their existing knowledge base Please record your speech on your phone or on an online platform of your choice (Zoom, YouTube, etc.) Watch the videos included in this model as examples of informative speeches and consider their approaches (what you like, what you don’t like, etc.). Remember, your style is your own and this class gives you the opportunity to consider your unique approach to public speaking.  Below is an example of an informative speech outline that you may find helpful:  video part :  Your Informative Speech Outline may include the following:  Specific purpose statement – a narrower version of the general purpose statement that identifies what you will talk about, what you will say about it and what you hope the audience will take away from the speech  Thesis statement – one sentence summary followed by a preview of main points  Parts of a speech Introduction – body – conclusion Introduction – creative, memorable and set the tone for entire presentation, attention getting, statement of relevance, evidence of speaker credibility, thesis, preview of main points, transition to body of speech, brief (10-15% of speech) Attention getter: try to engage audience, sets the tone, ask audience a question, give incentive to pay attention, share a surprising stat or data point, challenge commonly held views, brief narrative, famous or inspiring quote, joke Relevance – clearly connects with audience, share background that’s appropriate Body: 75-80% of speech, should not overlap. 2-3 points Conclusion: Memorable, lasting impression, about 10% of speech, summarize points, refer back to attention getter, sense of closure, reiterate take away Transitions (used within speech to signal moving from intro to body to conclusion, and also moving from one main point to the next): Internal summary – statement that reviews or sums up what you just finished telling audience Signpost – Word that catches audience’s attention and indicates where you are in speech Internal preview – Statement that previews what’s coming up next Your outline can be written as full sentences or as key words, which can be used as prompts when delivering your speech.  Below are several approaches that you can take to organize your speech:   Subordination – hierarchy of ideas Coordination – all info on the same level and has same degree of significance References and citations – verbally or listing small on visual aids Please be aware that your outline is worth 50 points so prepare thoroughly and thoughtfully!
