Your Main Points

Worksheet Description

The “Speech Planning: Main Points” worksheet is a structured template for students to outline the key points of a speech they are preparing to deliver. It prompts the student to articulate their topic and the audience they will be addressing. The worksheet provides a table with two columns labeled “Main Point” and “Support/Evidence,” where students are instructed to list their main points and detail the evidence or support for each point, ensuring that each part of the speech is well-founded and compelling.

This worksheet teaches students how to construct the body of a speech effectively. It guides them in identifying and elaborating on the primary arguments or messages they wish to convey. By requiring support or evidence for each main point, the worksheet emphasizes the importance of backing up assertions with solid reasoning or data. This planning process aids students in developing logical, persuasive speeches that are substantiated and more likely to resonate with an audience.
