Deliverables A one- to two-page (250- to 500-word) document A two- to four-minute introduction speech Step 1 Create an outline. Using the preparation outline you created in Assignment 1.1, create a delivery outline for your introduction speech. What’s the DIFFERENCE? A prep outline is what you prepare for studying for and preparing your speech. It is longer and has more information in it. The Delivery Outline is one with just basic reminders for you so you do not forget anything. Many times, it is only bullet points in order of the way you wish to present. You NEVER want to read your speech, so it is important to use a delivery outline each time when you present. Read the weekly lesson and all supplemental materials before starting this assignment. Using a different file name, save a copy of the Assignment 1.1 document in which you created the preparation outline. Modify the preparation outline to make it a delivery outline. Step 2 Practice your speech. TIME YOUR SPEECH TO BE SURE IT MEETS A 2 to 4 MINUTE REQUIREMENT. Practice using your delivery outline to deliver your introduction speech. Print your delivery outline so you can use it as your speaker notes. Before you begin your practice delivery, imagine that you are standing in front of your target audience and think about the specific purpose you identified for your speech. Remember that your speech should last between two and four minutes. Keep track of the total time it takes you to deliver your speech to stay within this time frame. Deliver your speech at least once all the way through. Step 3 Present your speech. Remember to pay attention to the audience’s nonverbal communication and adjust as necessary.
