- In class we walked through choosing a topic, narrowing it to something specific and writing thesis statements.
- Notes from "How to Start a Speech" - GenardMethod.com
- Primacy - what people hear at the beginning of the speech
- Recency - people will recall what you say at the end
- 12 ways to begin a speech
- 3 reasons the introduction should be strong: Audience making judgments about you early, opening sets the tone, first minute tells the audience why they should listen
- Boundless.com - "Components of a Speech"
- Introduction, Body, Conclusion
Fall Break - 10/15
Watch your recorded Peer Introduction speech. Make notes regarding your presentation. *You will hand in your notes for this but you will NOT be required to share with the class.
- What did you feel good about?
- What would you change?
- How was your posture?
- Did you use filler words? (um...you know...I mean...and...uh...)
- Make any other notes about your presentation that would be helpful in preparing for the next speech
Homework - Due 10/22
- Prepare your first informative speech - intro/body/conclusion
- 3-5 minutes in length
- You'll be able to use your notes but do not read your entire speech
- Use the sample outline and sample speech to help you plan
Class time on 10/22 will be a "workshop" to review your speech outline in groups, share ideas and final instructions. Speeches will be given on 10/29
* You DO NOT need to have your speech ready to present but it it strongly suggested you have your basic outline completed in order to make the most out of the 'workshop' time. If you have questions, email Kim or Cindy. kim.heinecke@gmail.com and okbealls@gmail.com.
