The general purpose of a
speech usually is to entertain, to inform, or to
persuade; the specific purpose describes
exactly what a speaker wants to accomplish;
and the central idea is the core of your
message

developing your speech

This is the
outline where you lay out the basic structure
of your speech
...
You also need three
main points, a conclusion, and a list of
references

Specific purpose – including the specific purpose with
the outline makes it easier to assess how well you have
constructed the speech to accomplish your purpose;
Central idea – identify the main idea of your
presentation
...
State the importance of
your topic and relate it to your topic
...
Sub points – these are components of the main
points stated in full sentences
...
Four types are: - Transitions (now
that we have, let me now share etc), Internal
preview (I will focus on four solutions), Internal
summaries (in short this is what it represents),
Signposts (the first cause, the second cause etc)
Conclusion – conclude with a bang, not a whimper!

Brenda has prepared her speaking outline on a set of six
notecards, so she believes she is finished preparing for her
speech
...
Why is this the case?
She should get used to how the notecards feel in her
hand
...
She needs to know whether her audience prefers white
or colored notecards
...
She needs to memorize all the quotations she is using
...
The full-sentence outline develops the full
detail of the message

Using notecards for your speaking outline
helps with delivery and makes it easier to find
information if you lose your place or draw a
blank

At the end of the lesson, students should be
able to:
Explain the communication process
Explain the importance of feedback in
communication, specifically in public
speaking
Communication can be broadly defined as an
act or process of sharing or exchanging
ideas, views, messages and information by
speech, signals or writing
...
In all activities, the essence of successful
communication is sharing – providing data, social
information, and insights in an exchange that
benefits both you and the people with whom you
are communicating
...
Nonverbal Communication – this involves the
use of the body as signs for communication
(body language)
...
These are culturally
defined
...
Feedback enables a speaker to adjust his or
her performance to the needs and responses
of an audience (Fiske1990)
Audience feedback often indicates whether
listeners understand, have interest in, and are
receptive to the speaker’s ideas (Griffin 2012)
Feedback may be both verbal and nonverbal
...
Verbal feedback may also come at
the end depending on the context
