Organizing the body of the speech By: Mathew Chanda

 Organization allows you to see what you have and to put use immediately  Organization allows you and your listerners to see your ideas  The more you speech is organized, the speech will flow and easier for the audience  The first step to organization in a speech to established the three parts of the speech- introduction, body, and conclusion

 The body is the most important and biggest part of the whole speech  The making of the speech is depending on your main points  The main points are the important part of the speech  Most speeches have miniumum of two or maxiumum of 5

 Sometimes easier to find your specific purpose -Specific Purpose: Why you doing the speech  Sometimes come up when you research or during your research for the topic.  If you made too many main ideas, it will be harder for the audience to understand your speech. To fix it, try to condense your ideas into each other  When making main points, try to make them stand-out and not making it related to each other. If you do make it where they are related, this could result in becoming into one main point, not two main point  Balanced the time for each of the main points, so that the audience could understand your main points, but your time depends on how much supporting details you have.

 Your order depends on three things: topic, purpose, and your audience  The chronological order : The main idea follows a time pattern  The chronological order is also used in speeches to explain a process or show how to do something and used in  Causal Effect: The main points arranged by where they show cause and effect  Causal Effect is used with informative, but also persuasive speech  Problem-Solution: The two main points, one shows the problem and the other shows how to resolve the problem  Problem-Solution is used in persuasive.

 The main points need the supporting material to help the audience understand you main points  The supporting material is used to support the main ideas and points  If you misplaced and put the suppporting material, the audience will most likely confused and doesn’t understand your main points

 When you have your main points and supporting material, you need connectives to make your speech flow like honey  Connectives: A word or phrase that help connects the ideas of a speech and shows the relationship between them  Without Connectives, the speech will fall apart and very confusing for the audience

 Transitions: Words or phrases that tell the audience when the speaker is moving or leaving to a new topic  Internal Preview: A statement that tells the audience what the speaker is going to say next.  The internal preview is like an introduction in the middle of the body  Internal Summaries: Word or phrases that reminds and help remember the listeners what they heard  Internal Summaries is when the speaker is just finishing up the main points and re-sumarize what he just told

 Organization is very important in the speech. This will help you and your audience in many ways  The first step is to organize your introduction, body, and conclusion  After process of planning your speech, you will need to started making your main points  Main Points: Important idea  Now put in order, but it depends on your topic, purpose, and audience  Supporting Material: Supporting the Main points  After having your supporting material and main points, connect with connective to make the speech flow like honey

Outlining the Speech

 Preparation outline is an outline that help you prepare the speech What a Preparation Needs  State the specific purpose of your speech to tell you why you making the speech  Identify the central idea will telling the main idea and this come after the specific purpose - will sometimes have central idea and specific purpose in the outline  -Visual framework: the pattern of symbolization and indentation in a speech outline that shows relationships among the speaker’s idea  Label the introduction, body, and conclusion to ensure you have them  Using a consistent pattern of symbolism and indentation  The most important ideas is from right to left  Putting your main points and subpoints in full sentences will help your idea fully developed  Label the connectives will help you show when they are goin to be used  Attaching a bilbography: Giving credit to the sources that you used  Give the title for the speech and try to make it brief and attracted to people

 Speaking outline : a mini,condensed version of your preparation outline which will help you remember things during the speech  This should have key words and phrases that you going to look up for few seconds  This will allow you to see where you at and when to do certain actions  The speaking outline should be brief and very general to help you remember certain things

 You should be very silmilar to your preparation outline since it’s just going to show where you at and what to say  The outline should be very legible to read during the speech. Try to use dark ink and write large  Write down cues to do certain action, to show how fast or slow you should be talking, and saying certain phrases

 Outline is very important to help us fix and rearranged anything that’s wrong  There are two types of outline: Preparation and Outline  Preparation Outline is a detailed outline developed during the process of speech preparations that includes the title, specific purpose, central idea, introduction, main points, sub points, connectives, conclusion, and bibliography of a speech  The Speaking outline contains notes that help jog your memory during the speech and look very similar to preparation outline but have the key words and phrases
