Speech #2, INSIGHT SPEECH
(6-8 Minutes) The purpose of this speech is to clearly
inform your audience of a worthwhile insight (i.e., an idea, a concept, a
process, etc). Your insight should be
one you suppose your audience does not already possess nor could easily obtain.
Your insight speech should be characterized by the following:

Appropriate
Language
Extemporaneous
Delivery
At least
two visual aids (One 2-D and one 3-D)
Your topic, specific
purpose, central idea (i.e., insight), a description of
your visual aids (size and content) and nature of your audience must be submitted in writing one class meeting before
your are scheduled to speak.
Although not required, I
highly recommend that you develop an outline to guide your preparation, and a
"speaking outline" (see your text, pp. 19,20 and Chapter 10) to guide your
preparation.
