2.2 Assignment: Plan your Script

Carefully read the purpose of the assignment, instructions, and criteria for success below before submitting your assignment.

We are in the planning stages again for our third speech. As you plan your speech, remember to SHOW, don’t just TELL your audience about the events. Use sensory language to put your audience at that exact moment with you, thinking about the smells, feelings, tastes, and sounds that surrounded you at the time. Include relevant details to powerfully make your point. Include organizational elements in your script, including an introduction, transitions, major points, and conclusion strategies that are covered in Module 3.

For this speech, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your introduction will need to incorporate a big idea, and the conclusion will need to reference that idea again. You may choose to tell 1-3 smaller stories to explain your big idea, and those smaller stories would be considered your major points. On the other hand, you may wish to break down events in chronological order. Regardless of your approach, avoid hidden assumptions by exploring relevant background information that may be necessary for your audience’s understanding. Focus on your storytelling details in this speech as they help to show your audience the “big idea” you are explaining.

  • Greeting/Salutation/reason for contact
  • Introduction of yourself/topic (rename these headings however you see fit)
  • Background/history on the topic

Depending on how you have decided to organize your persuasive arguments some options will work better than others

  • Problem/Cause/Solution (each as their own heading)
  • Problem/Solution (again each with their own heading and possibly some sub-headings incorporated)
  • Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (each of the five steps worked through)
  • Refutative pattern or Causal points (for speeches of fact)

Generally, all papers will want to start wrapping up with some

  • Acknowledgment of opposing views from critics and rebuttal/counterarguments
  • Conclusion/Call to action (repeat main points, finish strong).
  • Sincerely, your name
  • References page (APA formatted, alphabetized, hanging indents for each entry). At least six sources, four of which can be found in print and two of those four are scholarly journal articles (see assignment specs).
