Statistics
Adults spend…
• 42% of their time listening
• 32% talking
• 15% reading
• 11% writing
College students in the
classroom spend…
• 53% of their time
listening to professors
and classmates.
Why?
• Our ability to retain or
remember what we hear is
limited
• Immediately after listening to
a speech or teacher talk, we
can only recall half of what
was said
• After several days, we only
remember about 25% of
what was said…if we are
lucky
• Most people will forget
everything that was said
(this is why you should take
notes)
Concentration Span
•A student’s age + one
minute
So…
• Instead of listening most
of the time, you will be
taking an active role in
this class
• How?
• By giving speeches
Summarize
• List three details about what we
just covered

Parts of a Speech
• Introduction
-Introduce your topic and state your
purpose
• Body
-The main part of your speech, details
• Conclusion
-Re-cap your purpose
Speech Suggestions from a
Professional
• Put your notes on index cards
and number them. Why?
• If you feel more comfortable
using paper, write your speech
in a notebook so if you drop it
everything doesn’t fall out.
• Leave space between your
headings. This helps you
stay focused on the points
in your speech.
• Consider using a highlighter
for key points.
• Use only one side of the
paper or card. Why?
How to Control Your Nerves
• Prepare! Prepare! Prepare!
• Focus on your message, not
yourself
• Take several deep breaths
before you start
• Realize that you are your
own worst critic
Things to Remember
• Avoid slang, um, and uh
• Try not to twirl your hair or dance with
the podium
• No gum
• Don’t mumble
• Don’t read your speech to the podium
• Practice your speech more than once
• Speak loudly
• Stand up straight at the podium, no
hands in your pockets
Speech Etiquette
• If a classmate is giving a speech and you
are in the hall, wait outside the door until
the speech is finished.
• Never yell things out to the person who is
delivering a speech
• Do not talk to a friend while someone is
delivering a speech
• Do not work on an assignment while
someone is delivering a speech
• Enter the classroom dressed for your
speech and ready to go.
Remember…
• If for any reason class is cancelled
and you were scheduled for a
speech that day, you will present
the following day.
• If you are absent on your
scheduled day, you must be ready
on the day of your return.

Optional Speeches
Persuasive Speeches
There are two overall goals of
persuasion:
1. To address attitudes
2. Move an audience to action
What is a persuasive speech?
A persuasive speech delivers messages to
people in order to alter, strengthen, or
maintain attitudes, beliefs, values, or
behaviors.
Persuasive Aims
When you want your audience to start doing
something, your goal is to urge the audience
to adopt a key idea or plan.
Example-A spokesperson for the American
Cancer Society would say...
“I urge every woman over the age of 40 to get
a regular checkup.”
She is persuading women to do this.
More Persuasive Aims:
If your audience is already doing
the thing you want them to do,
you urge continuance.
“I urge all of you to continue to be
smoke free for the rest of your
life.”
More Persuasive Aims:
You attempt to persuade your
listeners to stop doing something.
“I can tell by looking around the
room that many people spend
hours sitting in the sun. There is a
direct connection between
exposure to the sun and skin
cancer.”
Even More Persuasive Aims:
You want to convince an audience
not to start something.
“We have found that exposure to
asbestos can cause cancer. If you
have flaking asbestos insulation in
your home, don’t remove it
yourself.”
