Journal Topic for Thursday, April 16th:
What do you know about process speeches? Have you ever given a process speech before? If so, what was it on? How did it go? If not, what do you think would be the easiest? The hardest?
2
Process/Demonstration Speech
Type of informative speech. Teaches. . . Provides answers to the question “How do you do that?” Also known as “how to” speech.
3
Process/Demonstration Speech
Above all else – demonstration speeches are SPEECHES! They have: An introduction A body A conclusion They have transitions And, they have supporting evidence. They should NOT have dead air time!
4
Process/Demonstration Speech
Make sure you choose a topic that is narrow or big enough that you can actually demonstrate it in 5-8 minutes. Can your topic be broken down into steps? If not, think again! Prepare ahead of time non-essential steps. No dead air time! Modify the demonstration. Have a completed sample. Don’t talk to you visual aid. Preprint & hand out later directions or recipe.
5
Process/Demonstration Speech
Include your audience. Don’t use jargon or technical terms. Or, explain! ! ! No last minute volunteers – plan ahead! Make sure it is a speech – Introduction Body Conclusion Transitions Supporting Evidence Practice, practice, practice!
6
Process/Demonstration Speech
Even though you are showing the audience how to do something, you still need an enticing attention getter (an introduction) and a memorable close (conclusion).
7
Preparing your speech:
Think first. . . What are the required steps or stages What comes first? What’s absolutely essential? Which step is easiest? Which step is hardest? What does the audience already know how to do? Where will the audience be most likely to get confused? Which step takes the most time? Which take very little time?
8
Preparing your speech:
Then plan. . . Organize steps in order. Clarify and simplify difficult steps. Think about the physical space of the room. Don’t forget to put stage directions on your index cards or outline.
9
Don’t Assume You Know Think again. . .
Just because you are demonstrating something you know how to do…doesn’t mean you can automatically explain it to an audience.
10
Visual Aids/Props Plan again. . . What actual objects will you need.
What gaps will you need to fill in. Practice working with your props.
11
Abstract vs. Concrete Avoid potholes. . .
Abstract Topics: Challenge is to make it visual. Concrete Topics: Challenge is to make it new and different.
12
Condensing Time Create stages. . . Prepare several different versions
of the items at different points in the process.

1) Why should I care? 2) Why should I believe you?
