• Short intro with a brief biography of the person
• Conclude by welcoming them and invite applause or
recognition
• Unnecessary to make fully developed several main points
7. Structure
• Opening: capture audience, state purpose (event) and preview points
• Body: main pts., evidence, and transitions
• Conclusion: restate, asking to take action
8. Manuscript

• Allows you to focus on word choice and dynamic delivery
• Keep contact with your audience-- eye-contact, gesture
• Practice
• Turn in the manuscript for a 2-3 min speech
• Do no read
