Writing a speech: The steps
Step 1: Choose your subject. Define your audience and your goal.
Step 2:  Brainstorm / mind-map
Step 3: Outline your speech’s structure. What are the main ideas for each section?
Step 4: Flesh out the main ideas in your outline. Don’t worry about finding the perfect words. Just let your creativity flow and get it all out!
Step 5: Edit and polish what you’ve written until you have a cohesive first draft of your speech
Step 6: Practice, practice, practice. The more you practice your speech the more you’ll discover which sections need reworked, which transitions should be improved, and which sentences are hard to say. You’ll also find out how you’re doing on length.
Step 7: Update, practice, and revise your speech until it has a great flow and you feel it’s ready to accomplish its purpose.

Slide 8 - Slide

Writing a speech: The structure
  • Introduction: Who are you, why are are you giving this speech, what is your main thesis? (Thesis is the main argument you want to discuss in your speech)
  • Main Message: Idea 1, Idea 2, Idea 3…
    The majority of your speech should be spent presenting your thesis and supporting material in a simple, organized way.
  • Take away:  What do you want your audience to walk out of the room remembering?

Slide 9 - Slide

Structure and content:
• Your speech contains an introduction (catchy phrase, examples, anecdote), a body (comparison and contrast characters and their development) and a conclusion (with punchline).

• Introduction in which you include your main goal. Make sure you attract your audience's attention by starting off with a question or a statement (not.... "my speech is about").

• Body in which you try to convince your audience by giving a clear and valid explanation of your topic.

  • Conclusion in which you repeat your strongest points and leave the audience with something to think about.
