How to...
 * Speech #1 DEMONSTRATION SPEECH**

1. Decide what you will demonstrate. (See below for ideas) 2. Start with a rough copy of a flow chart. See the section below if you're not sure how to create one. 3. Complete the instructions, one step at a time, in your flow chart. Try to include diversions in the flowchart that would indicate problems, delays, or alternate instructions. (See examples.) 4. I would prefer this flow chart to be done on Microsoft Word, then it can be e-mailed to me. However, it can also be made very neatly, by hand. This flow chart is part of your marks, as it is the outline of your speech instead of using cue cards. 5. Gather the materials needed for your speech and demonstration. 6. Practice in front of your dog, the mirror, a friend, until it is easy and natural. 7. See the teacher to set up a date if this hasn't already been done.

Not every "how to" speech can actually be demonstrated in class. If this is the case, you need to __**use visuals**__ to help us see the steps. This could be in the form of pictures of each step, video, or whatever you can think of.

__Use Body Language and Visual Aids:__
 * What Makes a Great Speaker **
 * Use technology if appropriate
 * Use hands, feet and arms to make gestures
 * Facial expressions, such as smiling, shock, if appropriate
 * Direct eye contact
 * Avoid swaying, leaning, pacing
 * Visual aids enhance or support your speech, but do not take the place of the speaker

__Using Your Voice:__
 * The words you say are important but how you say them will determine their impact
 * Speak with conviction. If you are enthusiastic about your topic, it will pass on to the audience.
 * Speaking in a monotone voice shows you lack any conviction or interest about what you are saying
 * Raise and lower your voice to suit the message
 * Tone of voice is the voice level. Don’t whisper in front of a large audience or shout to a small group
 * Pace is the speed of your delivery. Not too fast so the audience can’t follow but not so slow you bore the audience to death.
 * Use appropriate language- good grammar, avoid slang.
 * Use humour where appropriate


 * Public Speaking Pointers **
 * You are not alone. Everyone, even experienced speakers, feels nervous. Many fake confidence until they have had enough experience that they are confident and comfortable.
 * Think positive. This is going to be a great speech. I am confident and comfortable with this material. This is just 5 minutes of my life. I can do this.
 * Be prepared. It doesn’t matter how well you think you know your speech- you can always practice one more time.
 * Speak from your heart. Talk about something you truly believe in. If possible, include personal examples to relate to the audience.
 * Focus on the material. Concentrate on what you are saying, leaving no time for nervousness.
 * Know your material. It is easier to stay on track if you know your speech thoroughly. Underline important points.
 * Never read your speech. Use cards with few words-just the main ideas- to guide you. Use point form only to allow you to look up and make eye contact.
 * Rehearse in front of a mirror, friends, your dog and on a recorder.
 * Time yourself
 * Avoid “um” “uh” “okay” “stuff” and other meaningless words.
 * Avoid predictable repetition such as “and then I...and then we...
 * Avoid “that all...” “I’m finished...” “The end...” “Thank you for listening to my speech today...”

Communication is vital in society today. A person who can think clearly, organize their ideas, and express them with conviction in a clear manner, will get ahead in this world. __Some situations__ in which good public speaking skills may be required:
 * Why Study Public Speaking **
 * Your boss has asked you to express an opinion on a subject. Could you do this? What if you had to speak in front of your fellow workers?
 * At a staff meeting, the boss has asked someone to suggest a solution to a problem. You have a great idea that might work. Would you be able to get up and clearly explain your suggestion?
 * Your boss has asked you to make an oral report at a meeting. Could you do it? What if it was recorded for the radio or newspaper?
 * Your boss has asked you to train new employees or give a demonstration of some equipment explaining its use.
 * You have been appointed spokesperson for a group and you have to report the group’s findings.
 * At a job interview there are two candidates. Both have equal qualifications. One person can clearly articulate his ideas and answers all questions in an intelligent manner. The other looks at the floor and mumbles his answers. Which one would you hire?
 * In your job, you are required to answer the telephone and, sometimes, give detailed explanations or deal with difficult customers. Could you handle this?
 * Your supervisor has asked you to evaluate a new worker’s performance. Could you give constructive criticism?
 * Someone in your workplace is retiring. You have been asked to present them with a gift. Could you do this?
 * You have been elected as president of your organization. One of your tasks will be to chair meetings. How comfortable will you be with this?

2. Write a formal speech. Topic: The most significant person in my life. It must be 1 typed page or two written pages long. As in our discussion and example in class, include rhetorical questions, emotional language, repetition, and quotes for proof or support of your topic/opinion. If you are really passionate about another topic, see me or e-mail me and I will let you know. This is how you will be marked: /6 Writing Variables /1 Catchy Title /2 Level of language (words choice, complex sentences, etc0 /2 Voice- passion, energy, emotion  /3 content is meaningful, clear message, follows your variables for your purpose and audience  /2 conventions  /1 appropriate length  Total /20
