Getting Attention: Step One This step is your introductory "listen up" call. To make it effective it needs to grab the audience. It could be any of the following: · A startling statement · A rhetorical question · A quotation · A funny story · A dramatic story (Note this would be the one to use for the O.J. Simpson. · A photograph or other visual aid Consider "What's in it for me?" while deciding on your attention getter. Why should your audience listen? Is it relevant to them? How? Why should they believe what you say? Have you established your credibility? Establish the Need: Step Two This step develops the need for change. Now that you have your audience's attention you will clearly show them what the problem is and the extent of it. (Note: the problem is that no one knows for sure who killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman) To be effective use: · Examples to illustrate how it impacts on them - their happiness, future, health, family, Society · Statistics - facts, figures, graphs, diagrams... · Remember to citeyour sources and remember too that some are more credible than others. You need recognized sources to give your speech the credibility you want. · Expert witness testimony - the more authoritative, the better Your goal at the conclusion of this step is to have your audience eager to hear your solution. They agree with you that there is a problem and want the answer. Satisfy the Nee: Step Three Now you outline your answer or solution and show the audience how it will work. (This is your theory of who committed the murders and how) To do this well: · Outline your solution succinctly · Demonstrate how it meets the problem (solving the mystery) · Use examples to show how effective it is · Support with facts, figures, graphs, diagrams, statistics, and testimony... · If there is known opposition to your solution, acknowledge and counteract showing how your plan overturns it (This would be other theories made by other experts) The ideal outcome of this step is the audience saying to themselves: "Yes. This is possible, practical and sensible." Your answer should give them "satisfaction". See the Future: Step Four In this step the audience "experiences" the solution. They see (feel, hear, taste...) what will happen if they do as you are suggesting contrasted against what will happen if they don't do as you are suggest.
