Introduction Speech
Interview and Introduce a Class Member
1.
Work with a student that you do not know. Introduce
yourself and spend time getting to know each other.
Have a general conversation. Take notes – this is the
“research” phase of your presentation.
2.
Note characteristics that you perceive. Is this person
shy, dramatic, bold, genuine, etc…? These traits are
important and will add to your speech. Also, be able to
recall a story or memorable event that tells you a lot
about the person.
3.
Once you have collected all the data begin to think
about the best way of presenting the material to your
audience. Can you categorize the information into 3-5
main body points?
4.
Form an outline according to the proper speech format
and include the information you have discovered. Walk
through your speech and write up your outline on a
separate sheet of paper. Please type this out for your
speech day. Be sure that the information is accurate.
Do not lose credibility. Have fun with this assignment
and remember your audience.
