Brainstorm Strategies Word association Web diagrams Listing/Bulleted List

Step 5- Develop Thesis Statement Thesis Statement-  developed, supported, and explained in the course of the speech by means of examples and evidence It is what the speech is all about All parts of speech support the thesis statement.

Step 6- RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use the high school databases first Use library databases- it’s BEAST MODE of research ProQuest and SIRS researcher that already has topics for you. GOOGLE it and then click the NEWS if it is current event. Wiki is fine to gain basic info- use its cites to gain more information.

Research If you know your 3 main pts that support your thesis statement find information to support the three main pts. Gather more information than you need. Write/list your information with sources If you do not know your 3 main pts Gather information- Then write your speech

Citing Evidence in Speech The New York Times on January 17, 2016 stated Israel's PM Netanyahu Asserts Israel Will Be Iran’s Watchdog Source on date explains state what you found. SOURCE MUST BE FIRST!!- allows to evaluate info

Explain what the evidence means! Don’t just state the information- explain it.

Remember! Source is unbiased (don’t lean one way) Bias- prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. Ex. DemsRdumb.org Ex. Weedforfree.org Don’t say www. Or .com Say the source first- Allows us to evaluate the credibility of information.

Outlining: DO NOT WRITE OUT YOUR SPEECH WORD FOR WORD ANYWHERE!!! Introduction Thesis Preview your main pts Pt 1 A Sub sub pt Sub Sub pt B Pt2 Review Tie in- reference intro Each pt/sub pt gets only 1 sentence You can have more than 2 subpts DO NOT WRITE OUT YOUR SPEECH WORD FOR WORD ANYWHERE!!!

PRACTICE Notecard- How do you do it? Outline and ONLY put the what you need on it. How do you do it? PRACTICE

Remember this old saying? First: tell them what you're going to tell them. Second: tell them. Third: tell them what you told them. Simply put- 'Tell them what you're going to tell them' becomes your introduction 'Tell them' forms the body ‘Tell them what you told them' is your conclusion
