How Do You Organize Information For A Public Speech?
Half the battle of giving an effective speech is organizing all the material you’ve gathered. Read on for an easy way to do this. Read through all of your notes on your subject. Determine what information you need /want to include in your speech. Make this decision based on the absolute essential information you need the audience to know. Later, if you decide you need some padding, you can add in some extraneous material. Organize this information you need to tell the audience at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of your speech. Either use three different colored markers to highlight these different elements, or write each piece of information on recipe cards and divide them into the three appropriate stacks. Make sure you organize your information like this: Beginning – This is why you should care what I have to say. Middle – Here’s the facts and figures supporting my claim. End – This is what these facts prove and what you need to do now that you know this.
