Purpose

One of the best ways to improve your own public speaking skills is to observe and analyze other speakers. In this assignment, you will watch a recorded speech from a previous student while following along with the speaker’s outline. This process will help you better understand how an outline translates into a live speech and how organization and delivery work together.

Instructions

1. Review the Materials

· Watch the speech video provided here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YuHW8C8JL0Links to an external site.

· Open the speaker’s outline before you begin watching so you can follow along.  Monroes Motivated Sequence Persuasive Speech Outline Student Example.docx Download Monroes Motivated Sequence Persuasive Speech Outline Student Example.docx

· Watch the speech at least once without stopping.

· On a second viewing, use the outline to track the speaker’s introduction, main points, transitions, and conclusion.

3. Analyze the Speech As you watch, pay attention to:

· How clearly the speaker introduces the topic and purpose

· Whether the main points follow the order of the outline

· How transitions are used to move between points

· Moments where the speaker closely follows the outline and moments where they stray from it

· How delivery (eye contact, vocal variety, pacing, and confidence) supports the message

Written Analysis (1 Page)

Write a  one-page analysis that includes:

· A brief summary of the speech topic and purpose

· An explanation of how the outline helped you understand the structure of the speech

· Specific examples of where the outline was clearly reflected in the speech
