1999-Josh Gad’s Original oratory “Hoo-Ah!” Notes
Directions: As we watch Josh Gad’s OO that won the 1999 National Championship for Speech and Debate, and identify
the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sau5MC1im9g
1. What is Gad’s hook?
2. How does he link his hook to his topic?
3. Does he have a statement of significance, what is it?
4. What is his thesis?
5. How does he provide a “roadmap” for his speech?
6. How does he transition into first main point?
7. TOES – Evidence – Awesomeness:
Who/What are his TOES?
What is the appeal to the audience and its effect?
8. How does he weave his “catch phrase” throughout his speech and what is its effect?
9. How does he end? Does he summarize his main points, justify his topic’s significance, restate thesis, close with his
attention getter (full circle back to the attention getter from intro.)?
