Research and
Mapping
(Org)
•You’ve selected a topic; start researching. As
you research, map out the information that you
have. What do you want to include? Do you
have enough material?
Organizing
and Outlining
•You have your information, now you can
finish up with your organization. What is the
logical order? How will you fit that into your
intro, body, and conclusion? Some people
may focus on the body of the speech during
the first step—focusing on the intro and
conclusion at this stage. Put your “map” into
your outline format.
Practicing
delivery
(strategies,
word choice)
• Practice your delivery.
Are you using the
correct words? Vocal
variety? Eye contact?
