you need to develop a new topic and you need to outline before you can present your next speech-- a five-minute informative speech that can be given in a business environment--on Friday, October 16. Here are the steps we discussed in class--a brief review here of what you need to do next: 1. Take a look at your topic that you chose on Friday. This topic ceases to exist. However, when you spoke, you had underlying themes and topics that arose in your impromptu speech. These underlying themes and topics are going to form the basis for your informative business speech. Use the five-step planning process we discussed and reviewed in class and brainstorm those themes and concepts. What do you see as commonalities with these ideas and themes? Do they reflect on a more generalized topic that relates to something that is professionally business-related? What new 3-5 main points are going to form the basis for your new speech? 2. Once you have your new five main points, determine what your specific purpose is going to be. Your general purpose is to inform--that is the directive of the next speech. However, what is your specific purpose--to inform your audience "of what?" "about what?" 3. Once you have determined your new main points, you will prepare your outline--the outline is due this Friday, October 2. This is to be a detailed PREPARATION OUTLINE, not a bullet point speaking outline. Remember that we compared an ineffective and effective outline in class? The detailed preparation outline is the outline where you literally write out each specific point with the supporting detail, the sources, and other information that showcases the specifics and details that support each of your main points. What are your personal stories that can reflect on those main points? Is there research that you need to conduct through the library that helps you find credible sources that support your speech? The outline will, essentially, if done correctly and completely, be at least two pages. 4. Remember, that your goal is not to just Google a source and use that source in your speech. When we discussed how we know an online source is valid, we reviewed the author's guidelines on credible and valuable sources and why peer-reviewed studies and materials and magazines and journals and newspapers are solid sources to use in our work. 5. This detailed outline will form the basis for you to then establish your speaking notes and your slides, which will come within the next two weeks, as well. This coming week, in addition to reviewing your outlines and speech topics, we will review PowerPoint and how you can develop your PowerPoint slides, based on this detailed preparation outline. 6. Bring a hard copy of your outline to class on Friday. Make sure it is labeled with your name and the date so we can put these outlines on the document camera for everyone to view. its should done as soon as possible
