PUBLIC SPEAKING:

SPEECH PLANNING

Mrs. Mundy

We are all planners.

We just don’t do it in the same

way.

You have to find a

system that works for

you.

Some methods.

Planning a Speech

Sometimes we write everything

down.

Word for word.

Read it aloud to memorize it.

Sometimes we storyboard.

Brainstorm on Post-

It Notes

Move them around

into an order that

makes sense.

See more here.

Sometimes we use speech

notes.

Index cards work well.

One main idea per card.

Employ keywords.

Write largely.

Lots of white space.

Use color.

Number your cards.

More detail here.

Sometimes we outline.

Example

Similar to cue cards, only on sheets of paper.

Sometime we use technology

tools.

PowerPoint outlines.

Sometimes we rehearse.

Sometimes we memorize.

Sometimes we wing it. On

purpose.

Live news. Impromptu Speeches

Many times we do it all. We combine these

techniques to feel and be prepared.

Preparation builds confidence.

Confidence makes fear

disappear.
