You will not simply inform us about something, but rather show us the entire process by actually doing it. 2. Developmental Skill: To gain experience speaking before a group, utilizing the correct outline format, supporting the main steps through demonstration, description, and explanation. In addition, provide specific reasons for doing something the way you do it.3. Time: 4-6 minutes. Four point deduction for every thirty seconds short or over.4. Grading: 100 total possible points. (Presentation-60 points, outline-30 points, visual aids-10 points)5. Presentation: You may bring note cards up with you. These note cards are called a key word outline. In other words, as opposed to having your full sentence outline, you utilize only key words to help jog your memory. The key word outline should be made after practicing your speech so that you know whereyou may need to jog your memory during the course of the speech. Your key word outline will should also be derived from your full sentence outline to keep symmetry between the two. Do not use a full sentence outline while speaking since it is difficult to locate what you need and the tendency is to read up there instead of talk to us. Certain things can be written out for accuracy such as quotations, definitions and your introduction and conclusion.6. Outline: A complete sentence outline that is typed is required to be turned into the instructor before you speak. Organization and completeness are essential 2aspects of the outline and are what the grading is based on for the outline. Examples of outlines follow.7. Visual Aids: Visuals are usually inherent to the demonstration speech. In order for you to make, do, or repair something, you need to have the object that you are demonstrating. So for the most part, ingredients, materials, models, or even you make up the visual aids. If you would like to enhance your speech with an additional visual such as a poster board etc. with directions, recipes, etc. that would be helpful. Just remember to follow the dos and don’ts that we cover in class. 8. Other Stuff: Remember that you are the expert or authority on your topic. Your audience may have no idea, some idea, or even by highly aware of your topic, so make sure to be as clear as possible so the audience can follow the presentation easily. Principles that will help the flow of your speech include organization method (usually chronological for demonstration speeches), vocal variety, transition statements, good directions and explanations, and a pleasant, friendly, and lively delivery so that listeners will be receptive to you and your message. When you are excited about what you are talking about, your listeners will be too.3OUTLINE TO DEMONSTRATE OR INFORMI. IntroductionA. Attention-getter gains and captures the attention of your audience. This is a very important component of your speech as it is your opportunity to draw them in with something “catchy” yet pertinent and appropriate to your topic. Some different examples of attention getters include a story, quotation, illustration, a question etc. It is the first thing that you say.B. Thesis Statement is where you simply state your topic. In one brief sentence tell your audience the purpose of focus of the speech. For example: Today I am going to show you how to effectively pack for your next vacation.C. Fairhearing or Significance is why it is important for your audience to listen to you. What do you have to offer your audience? Some people may not have an immediate interest in your topic, so you need to tap in to some ways that you can appeal to them. How will this speech benefit them? One way of doing this is by appealing to their basic needs or any other of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs that wewill discuss in detail. At this point of your speech you should also be sure to show your expertise or experience with your topic. D. Overview is a preview of your major steps, points, parts etc. of your speech. State your main points clearly and simply. Do not include any other information at this point, save that for the body of the speech. Simply preview only the main points of steps that you will discuss. Prepare your audience for what is coming and provide a roadmap. II. BodyA. First main point or step one 1. supporting material/specific details 2. further informationB. Second main point or step two 1. supporting material/specific details 2. further informationC. Third main point or step three 1. supporting material/specific details 2. further informationD. Fourth main point and so on…..III. ConclusionA. Review is a restatement of your main points or steps that you just covered in the body of your speech. Simply state the main points just as you did in the overview. This helps the audience remember what you covered. So essentially,you tell the audience what you are going to tell them, you then tell them, and then you tell them what you told them. 4B. Finality is when you provide closure to your speech. You want your audienceto know that you are ending your speech, provide them with a sense of closure accomplishment. Utilize a lot of the same methods here as in the attention getter like a story, a quote, or tie in your finality with your
