Document Summary

Structuring your speech (chapter 9 of osborn, osborn, & osborn) & chronological patterns: apply principle of closure to provide completeness in causation, problem- solution & narrative designs. How to work supporting materials into structure of speech: it helps to fortify your message against doubts/disagreements of reasonable listeners. Why should anyone care? (supply a narrative to explain why. ) Although the situation will always vary from topic to topic, speaker to speaker, and audience to audience, it is still possible to set up an ideal model to support any main & important subpoint. This model incudes the point plus the following supporting materials: the most relevant facts & statistics. The most authoritative testimony from respected sources: at least one story or example that clarifies the idea & brings it to life. If each of the main points are well supported, the message should stand up even if it is challenged.
