Failure  to  prepare  is  preparing  to  fail  -­‐  John  Wooden  (famous  former  American  college  football  coach)  

 Basic  elements  of  a  good  speech    1.  Identify  your  topic  and  purpose    Answer  this  question  in  one  sentence:  What  is  my  speech  about?  

  I  want  the  audience  to  understand  how  give  a  speech  with  confidence.  

Answering  this  question  sets  up  your  whole  speech.  Don’t  even  bother  trying  to  prepare  your  speech  unless  you’re  clear  about  the  topic  and  your  purpose.  What  are  you  trying  to  accomplish?  What  is  your  goal?    2.  Write  your  opening  line    Now  that  you  know  what  your  topic  and  purpose  are,  write  your  opening  line.  Tell  the  audience  what  you  are  going  to  talk  about.    

  Today,  I’m  going  to  tell  you  how  to  give  a  speech  with  confidence  in  front  of  your  peers.  

This  will  be  a  strong  anchor  that  you  can  build  your  speech  around.  Your  opening  line,  however,  is  usually  not  the  first  thing  you  say  when  you  deliver  your  speech.  Most  good  speakers  grab  their  audience’s  attention  first.  

Do  you  ever  feel  your  heart  race  when  asked  to  give  a  speech  in  your  English  class?  Although  public  speaking  still  makes  me  a  little  nervous,  I’ve  learned  how  to  overcome  most  of  my  fears.  Today  .  .  .          

 3.  Identify  a  few  key  points    Now  that  you  know  what  you  are  going  to  talk  about,  what  key  points  will  you  make  about  it?  

  Good  posture  is  essential  for  an  effective  delivery.  

  Eye  contact  allows  you  to  make  a  connection  with  your  audience.  

Make  sure  that  everyone  in  the  room  can  hear  you  clearly,  including  the  people  in  the  back  row.  

4.  Support  your  key  points    Each  key  point  needs  to  be  supported  with  specific  details.  Here  are  some  specific  details  for  posture:  

Keep  your  spine  straight  and  rotate  your  shoulders  back.  

Keep  your  head  erect.  

Keep  your  hands  at  your  side  with  your  fingers  open  or  slightly  curled.  

Keep  both  feet  flat  on  the  floor  and  slightly  apart.  

5.  Wrap  it  up  with  a  summarizing  conclusion    What  do  you  want  your  audience  to  remember  about  your  speech?  Clearly  restate  your  key  points  and  end  with  a  few  closing  words.  

Having  good  posture,  maintaining  eye  contact  with  members  of  your  audience,  and  speaking  loudly  and  clearly  are  essential  for  any  speech  that  you  will  have  to  deliver  in  front  of  your  peers.  Be  confident!  Be  brave!  And  practice,  practice,  practice  to  ensure  a  successful  delivery.  Thank  you  for  your  attention.          

 

Practicing  your  speech    1. Read  your  speech  over  several  times  –  silently.  2. Read  your  speech  several  times  –  aloud.  

3. Practice  your  delivery  in  front  of  a  mirror  (to  observe  your  attitude,  posture,  gestures,  and  facial  expressions).  4. Read  your  speech  into  a  tape  recorder  and  listen  to  yourself  several  times  (to  check  how  you  sound  and  see  if  anything  about  your  delivery  

escaped  your  attention).  5. If  you  have  access  to  a  video  camera,  record  yourself  giving  your  speech.    6. If  you  have  cooperative  family  members  or  friends,  deliver  your  speech  to  them  and  ask  for  honest  comments.

Debates   Procedure  

1. Team  A  begins  with  a  30-­‐second  opening.  Team  B  listens  only.  2. Team  B  then  gives  a  30-­‐second  opening.  Team  A  listens  only.  3. Together,  Team  A  and  Team  B  discuss  the  topic  for  ten  minutes.  4. To  close  the  debate,  Team  B  responds  to  Team  A’s  arguments  for  30  seconds.  Team  A  listens  only.  5. Then  Team  A  responds  to  Team  B’s  arguments  for  30  seconds.  Team  B  listens  only.   Tips  

1. When  preparing  for  the  debate,  try  to  anticipate  what  the  other  team  might  say.  This  will  help  you  build  a  solid  defense  (which  is  important  as  debates  are  about  playing  offense  and  defense  simultaneously).  

2. Use  personal  examples  people  can  relate  to.  3. Statistics  and  research  that  back  up  your  position  are  always  helpful.  4. It  is  good  to  question  what  the  other  team  means  from  time  to  time.  This  forces  them  to  think  quickly,  clarify,  and  explain  

their  position  in  greater  depth.  5. Be  assertive  and  aggressive  throughout  the  debate,  to  include  taking  advantage  of  any  silence.    6. Don’t  let  one  person  dominate.  Each  team  member  needs  to  play  an  equal  role.    Topics  

! The  Internet  does  more  harm  than  good.  ! Cats  make  better  pets  than  dogs.  ! High  school  students  should  wear  uniforms.  !

Women  are  better  leaders  than  men.  ! Money  can  buy  happiness.  ! People  should  have  the  right  to  bear  arms    (i.e.  own  guns).  ! Television  lowers  your  intelligence.    ! People  should  not  get  plastic  surgery.  ! Animals  should  be  used  for  scientific  experimentation.  ! Human  cloning  should  be  permitted.  ! Capital  punishment  should  be  abolished.  !
