Transcripts
hey good people I'm back for lecture 12.
and so lecture 12 is going to move us
into a new direction as you know it's
week three we're starting week three and
so we're about to move into the
nitty-gritty and to the meat of the
course okay we've been doing all this
preliminary work and those preliminary
um lectures get you
to this place right so we've learned
about the communication process the
history of communication is a discipline
the process we've learned about the
components particularly noise and
listening we've learned about the
messages and the channels the people the
sender the receiver we've learned about
listening and hearing and the difference
between the two right we've learned
about audience analysis and
um
I think that's it I think I can't
remember right but what we're gonna move
now into starting this week is kind of
the meat and potatoes the nitty-gritty
and hey if you're a vegetarian then it's
just going to be all vegetables for you
but we're gonna move into the big Garden
of things right so this first lecture
lecture 12 is one of a series where I'm
going to be talking about the components
of the speech itself and I'll be
introducing your first speech that's
coming up I've prepared the information
document or whether I have updated the
information document but I am having a
little bit of trouble of finding the
outline in the PowerPoint that go with
it now what does that mean
that means for every assignment that I
have asked you to do I have actually
already done the assignment myself I've
prepared a whole speech and I've
prepared a whole outline a whole
PowerPoint to go as a sample or as a
stand-in for you to get a sense for what
I'm looking for for what I want and I
always like to put that up with it so
I'm looking for that I hope to have it
found by Monday if not I don't have to
go to uh
uh what do you call it Plan B I'll have
to go to plan B we're going to stay
hopeful that I can find it on one of
these um old devices you guys I had to
actually pull out my flash drives some
of you may not even know what this is
you probably haven't seen it because
you're so accustomed to using clouds and
all that but I have so much work so many
assignments and things on uh flash
drives so I need to figure out where
this assignment is because I want to
bring it back this year it is
storytelling assignment where you're
going to tell us a true story about
yourself something about your life and
it's either going to be an inspirational
motivational story or it's uh humorous
or maybe even a bit of both but just
wait for that I'm gonna at least that
information shortly so right now though
excuse me
I'm talking about part one of a series
is the parts of speech the parts of the
speech rather I should say not the parts
of speech because that's something
totally different right but the parts of
a speech and so every speech is going to
have these three components and listen
if you have not been taking notes for
the lectures up till now but lectures
one through eleven
that's on you but for lecture 12 13 14
and 15 I promise you you have to take
notes
because if you don't take notes you're
you're gonna bomb greatly so you have to
take notes you guys just as you would if
we have been in a face-to-face class
okay same thing applies so
a speech is made up in this for the
purpose of this class
okay please understand me and hear me
well for the purpose of this class you
are going to do a speech that has three
main ideas just three
you could it could normally have five it
could have five four it could have six
seven you name it but for the purpose of
this class
your speech every one of them every one
of them will be organized into three
main ideas
and the way that you can kind of look at
it is considered as beginning middle and
end in in many cases not in all the
cases but in many cases
so for the Storyteller speech that we're
going to do you could think of it as
beginning middle and in the beginning of
the story the middle of the story the
end of the story Okay so
the first thing that this lecture is
going to talk about is the beginning
which is known as the introduction
so when I'm going to lay out here in
this short lecture is the parts and the
components that make up your
introduction for your
storytelling speech and for your
informative speech
it would also be the same if we do the
peer introduction speech so your
introduction speeches your storytelling
speech and your informative speech they
all will follow this same format that
I'm about to lay out in these next four
lectures maybe three but probably four
okay are you with me so far I hope so so
the very first component of your speech
is
the first paragraph and the first
section and that is
the introduction
so let's talk introduction
your introduction
sets the stage for the speech itself
I hesitate you guys to say paragraph
because although it's written as a
paragraph on your paper remember you
aren't really writing a paper per se for
this class right you're right in the
speech yes I know it's really kind of
the same
but in my nearly 20 years of teaching
it's something about
students wanting to make this like
English class and make it like an essay
that seems to actually throw them off so
I'm trying to be very clear and
demarcate and keep those things separate
okay
but you will have an introduction for
your speech it will be written in
paragraph format on your outline and I
will show you that shortly now for the
introduction it is to be prepared a very
specific way
it is prepared in a very specific order
this is how you will be graded for this
assignment for most assignments the
exclusion is the persuasive it follows a
different format but for your
introduction speech your storytelling
speech and your informative speech you
will follow this format
okay now
what does that mean
here we go the introduction has several
components and they are as follows
attention getter
attention getter
you will introduce yourself
sorry you will introduce yourself
and then
you will introduce your topic
introduce your topic
then you will preview your three main
ideas
you would tell us the three main ideas
of today's speech
and then
you will offer a transition sentence
a transition sentence
the transition sentence leads us into
the body of the speech
okay your introduction includes the
following components again
the attention getter
you will introduce yourself
you will introduce your topic
you will provide the three main ideas
that you're going to discuss in your
speech and then you will provide a
transition sentence that leads us into
the body
do you understand
now if we were in class together then I
would undoubtedly have a few people
raising hands to ask questions so that
means that because we're not all
together you're going to have to send me
your questions by uh canvas inbox or
you'll have to post them on to the
announcements or something like that and
I'm fine with that I'm here to help I'm
here to answer your questions
okay so the components of the
introduction again are as follows
attention getter
introduce yourself
introduce your topic
preview three main ideas of your speech
and provided transition sentence into
the body
those are the components and that is the
order
okay and you're going to write that as a
paragraph on your outline so before we
get to the Roman numerals and the A's
and B's and ones and twos all of that is
the body but before we get to that body
we have first an introduction paragraph
and this is what begins our outline This
Is How We Begin our speech I hope you've
got that so far
okay so let's talk about those
components
they come in the order that I just gave
them to you the order is the order it is
not to be changed you don't take
creative license and do something
different you
write them on in the paragraph and you
say them orally the order in which I
gave them to you so that means
should you begin
and the first thing you say is good
morning absolutely not
should you say hello my name is Rukia
first absolutely not
should you say first I'm here to talk
about absolutely not
the very first thing out of your mouth
the very first thing that you execute is
the attention again
all right
so
those components again are as follows
attention getter introduce yourself
introduce your topic preview their three
main ideas and then provide a transition
sentence into the body
I know you got that stay tuned because
then I'm going to talk about what all
that means
okay now the next thing you have then is
your content your content is your main
ideas that is where you come up with the
three main things that you're going to
discuss
if you're telling a story it's just
really simple to organize it as
beginning middle and end the beginning
of what happened in the story The Middle
of the story and then the end of the
story okay if you are doing a speech on
a person if you're introducing us to
yourself or to someone else the
beginning of that person's life the
middle portion of that person's life the
end of that life if they've deceased if
they're still living the current life
would be the last the third piece right
there's so many many ways you can do it
if you are doing a speech on a con a
country a continent a state a city
you would it's not a beginning the
middle end in that way but there's still
three main ideas so you might organize
it as
the history of that place
the culture of that place and then maybe
the government of that place history how
it was founded when it was founded who
was responsible whatever kind of
information they had in its early days
the culture would be all the people
excuse me who lives there what kind of
food do they eat what kind of
celebrations do they have Etc and then
the third piece the government what kind
of leader do they have uh how do they
vote the leader in or is it a monarchy
or et cetera what is their money and
their financial aspect life like these
are the types of things this is the way
that you organize a speech about uh
introducing us to a place
I hope that makes sense and adds up for
you okay
and then
that's the body and that's where we use
the Roman numerals the capital letters
the ones and twos and all those things
yes and then the third part is the
conclusion
like the introduction the conclusion is
written as a paragraph Yes it's written
in paragraph format and the conclusion
will have the following component it
will have
review of the three main ideas
a summary of three specific things that
you told us about
a bottom line or call to action why is
this important wrap it all up tied up in
a bow and then a thank you to the
audience
that is what makes up the conclusion
paragraph in that order once again
excuse me guys that's review of the
three main ideas
you will summarize three specific pieces
of information
that you covered in the body
you will then have a bottom line or a
just do it statement a bow that kind of
just wraps it all up and ties it up
together and then of course a thank you
to the line
now with regard to that summary I want
to point out that the summary
three specific things yes
and so basically you're going to remind
us about three specific things that you
told us about in your speech and you're
going to take one from each of the three
main ideas that you had in the bot
it may sound a bit much because you're
not looking at it in practice you're not
looking at a sample you're not looking
at it on the board just yet but just
take notes process it bear with me
because it all makes sense when it's all
time to put it together I promise you I
promise you I absolutely promise you it
will make sense okay so again that
conclusion paragraph it's written as a
paragraph and that has the following
components a review sentence of the
three main ideas the review sentence is
just the preview sentence from the
introduction said in past tense
okay
and then you have a summary which is one
sentence I mean which is a sentence that
highlights three memorable pieces of
information one from each of the three
main ideas and then you have the
sentence that ties it all up that just
do it statement or the bottom line what
have you and then finally you have the
thank you that you offer to your
audience for listening
those are the components that make up
your outcome
easy easy
simple as a breeze it may not sound like
it at the moment but I promise you it
really really is so stay tuned because
I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna flush
these out a little bit more and show you
some examples of these as well all right
this has been lecture 12 understanding
the three components of the outline
the introduction the body and the
conclusion and next we'll be talking
about pieces of the outline itself all
right I'll see you guys soon this has
been lecture 12.
