Guidelines for Writing a Speech

1. Pick the topic carefully.
 Consult your heart map... Ask yourself the following: what do I know a lot about? What would I like to know more about? What do I do for fun? What do I read about? What do I talk about with my friends?

2. Narrow the topic.
Think about the topic and the type or purpose of your  speech...Is it to inform? to demonstrate? to persuade?

3. Gather enough information.
You can research at the library or on the internet, talk to an expert, watch a video, scan the newspaper or remember things from your own experience.

4. Prepare an exciting introduction that will HOOK your audience in.
For example: 
use a famous quote
tell a brief story or refer to an incident
make a strong statement - opinion, persuasive
ask a question

5. Write an outline/plan.
Decide on your big ideas and then support them with details.
Use facts, quotes and examples to support general ideas. Use examples that paint a picture in the minds of your audience.

6. Begin writing your speech organzing your big ideas and supporting details into paragraphs.

 ALSO remember...

Write so people can understand you.( IDEAS AND ORGANIZATION)
Do not use long. complex sentences or a lot of facts and numbers. If certain ideas are important, repeat or elaborate on them. 

Write for feeling.Write something you can express with feeling and interest. You don't want to sound like you are reading out of a book. Use descriptive words (WORD CHIOCE).
