Plan It Out

Worksheet Description

The Speech Projects worksheet is designed as a guide for students to outline and prepare for delivering a speech. It instructs students to begin with a hook or attention-grabber to captivate their audience, establish rapport with the audience, and provide a preview of the speech’s content. The worksheet then directs students to organize the main points of their speech logically and support them with evidence, culminating in a conclusion that summarizes these points. It also suggests including a memorable statement and, if appropriate, ending with a call to action.

The worksheet’s aim is to teach students the essential components of effective speech-making. By following the structured outline, students learn to construct a coherent and persuasive speech that engages their audience from start to finish. The emphasis on the logical arrangement of main points and evidence fosters critical thinking and the skill of argumentation. Additionally, the components of the conclusion and call to action are presented as crucial elements for leaving a lasting impact on the audience, underscoring the importance of a strong finish in public speaking.
