COMM200 Public Speaking

Week 2 Forum

Organization and Effective Delivery

Course Objective(s): CO 1-3

Goal:  The goal of this forum is to  get students to analyze historical speeches and understand organization and delivery tactics.

Description:

Pick one speech from American Rhetoric's top 100 speeches list. Listen to or watch the speech, and be sure to take a look at the transcript of the speech below the video or sound clip as well.

Think about how the speech is organized. Can you identify the introduction, body, conclusion, and transitions? Tell us where the body begins, where the conclusion begins, and list at least one transitional phrase from the speech.

Did you find identifying the structure of the speech difficult? Do you think the organization of the speech you chose to analyze contributed to the effectiveness and overall delivery of the message? Why or why not?

*PLEASE PICK A SPEECH NO ONE HAS DISCUSSED YET. STUDENTS SHOULD NOT DISCUSS THE SAME SPEECH.*
