The foundation of a great speech is a great outline. Strong speakers are prepared speakers. Learn how to create an outline with a clearly stated (1) introduction of a topic, (2) supporting points that connect to the topic, and (3) a powerful conclusion. A speech outline helps organize your thoughts and clearly present them with poise and confidence. Discover tips to confidently deliver a convincing speech. As a contest judge and public speaking teacher, I share information about speech judging criteria that will speech delivery. *** This OUTLINE is a speech preparation tool I use in my public speaking classes, including: * Public Speaking for Kids (Ages 8-11) * Public Speaking for Kids (Ages 9-13) * Public Speaking for Pre-Teens (Ages 10-14) * Public Speaking for Teens (Ages 14-18) with a TED Speaker * Advanced Public Speaking With a TED Speaker (Ages 9-14) * Advanced Public Speaking With a TED Speaker (Ages 14-18) * 1-on-1 Public Speaking for Teens: Tutoring with a TED Speaker * 1-on-1 Public Speaking for Kids: Tutoring With a TED Speaker * Public Speaking Workshop for Ages 10-14 and 14-18 (3-Day Workshop / 45 min. each)
Participants organize their thoughts using an outline and learn how to craft (1) an attention-getter (or "hook") to introduce their topic, (2) provide clear supporting points, and (3) offer a meaningful conclusion with a call-to-action.
Participants create an attention-getter (or "hook") to grab the audience's attention.
