Informative Speech- Different Outlines

Reading chapter 14 I feel will be extremely helpful. We have learned about media and use of PowerPoint, but I think that this chapter will be the most useful for the persuasive speech. In reading the opening speech, I could help but think in the manner that the speaker wanted me to. I want to be able to do the same, and make people agree with my way of thinking about the fact. Chapter 14 details different forms of outlines that are helpful when preparing the form in which we want to preform the speech. The main points are more important this time. In stead of simply stating a thesis, they begin to support your case for whether something is right or wrong, immoral or moral. It also stresses the importance of having a moral and coherent view on the topic. Providing value in the speech is also vital. I want my audience to see my perspective of the topic and hopefully choose not do engage in it. In order to do so, I have to provide a good enough argument so that my audience will listen and agree. I think providing multiple sources, I can do so, however. This, I believe is the hardest part of any speech. Gathering all the statistical data as well as all the possible facts can be hard. Yet, it is possible. Organization is important and I think that in order to make sure that they flow well, the organizational pattern is an important aspect.
