Intros and
Conclusions Discussion Board
Introductions
Last week you began
drafting your first speech. We started with the body of the speech, but
as you learned from chapter 9 of our
textbook Links to an external site., introductions are also a SUPER important part of your speech;
if you don't start off strong, it can be hard or even impossible to recover
your audience. Luckily, you learned there are certain components you
include in your intro to make sure you're starting off on a good note. I
created this discussion board post to help guide you as you draft your
introduction to speech 1.
Conclusions:
Chapter 11 Links to
an external site.showed us that a
strong conclusion is very important because it’s a speaker’s final chance to
really explain the importance of her or his message and allows the speaker to
both signal the end of the speech and help the audience to remember the main
ideas. As such, speakers need to thoroughly examine how they will conclude
their speeches with power.
Directions for your assignment:
Answer the following 7 questions about your speech's intro and
conclusion. Please number your responses for this activity to make it easier to
read and receive feedback.
1. What is your general purpose? (choose one)
|
To inform |
To persuade |
To entertain |
2. What is your specific purpose?
3. Which attention-getting device do you plan on
using?
4. How will you link your attention-getting
device to your actual topic?
5. What reasons are you going to give that your
audience to listen to the speech? (In other words, how will you address the
"so what?" of your rhetorical situation?)
6. What is your thesis statement?
7. Write out your preview of your three main body
points.
8. What concluding devise are you going to
use in your conclusion?
**Normally in an introduction of a speech, you
would qualify yourself with an Espousal of Credibility, letting
us know you are well researched and qualified to speak on the topic; however,
since this first speech is all about yourself, you don't need to do that.
Instead, you will show us you have credibility simply by being well practiced.
prepared, and organized during your speech.
