Outline/Speech Tip #2

Here's the second tip for your speeches and outlines:

You should be aware of the overall structure of your speech. The book talks about choosing an ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERN. To be clear, you speech needs to have an organizational pattern.

What this means is, your main points should echo the organizational pattern you have chosen. Additionally, YOU SHOULD TRANSITION FROM ONE POINT TO THE NEXT. Here is an example: "Now that I have covered what lung cancer and it's mortality rate, I will explain what throat cancer is". Of course in this scenario:

I. Lung cancer can effect people from young to old and even people who haven't smoked.
II. Throat cancer is dangerous because it can be difficult to treat.

These would be your first and second main points.

In short, you need to transition your audience from your first main point to the second one, the second main point to the third one, etc.... DO THIS AUDIBLY when you are giving your speech. This will help your audience to follow the organizational pattern of your speech.
