Chapter 12
Organization and Outlines
Speech is power; speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Getting Started
In earlier stages of preparation for a speech, you have gained a good idea of who your audience is and what information you want to focus on. This chapter will help you consider how to organize the information to cover your topic. You may be tempted to think that you know enough about your topic that you can just âwing itâ or go âfreestyling.â Your organization might be something like this: âFirst, Iâll talk about this, then Iâll give this example, and Iâll wrap it up with this.â While knowledge on your topic is key to an effective speech, do not underestimate the importance of organization. You may start to give your speech thinking youâll follow the âoutlineâ in your mind, and then suddenly your mind will go blank. If it doesnât go blank, you may finish what was planned as a five-minute speech with three minutes remaining, sit down, and then start to remember all the things you intended to say but didnât.
Organization in your speech is helpful both to you and to your audience. Your audience will appreciate hearing the information presented in an organized way, and being well organized will make the speaking situation much less stressful for you. You might forget a point and be able to glance at your outline and get back on track. Your listeners will see that you took your responsibility as a speaker seriously and will be able to listen more attentively. Theyâll be able to link your key points in their minds, and the result will be a more effective speech.
An extemporaneous speech involves flexibility and organization. You know your material. You are prepared and follow an outline. You do not read a script or PowerPoint presentation, you do not memorize every single word in order (though some parts may be memorized), but you also do not make it up as you go along. Your presentation is scripted in the sense that it is completely planned from start to finish, yet every word is not explicitly planned, allowing for some spontaneity and adaptation to the audienceâs needs in the moment. This extemporaneous approach is the most common form used in business and industry today.
Your organization plan will serve you and your audience as a guide, and help you present a more effective speech. If you are concerned with grades, it will no doubt help you improve your score as well. If you work in a career where your âgradesâ are sales, and a sales increase means getting an âA,â then your ability to organize will help you make the grade. Just as there is no substitute for practice and preparation, there is no substitute for organization and an outline when you need it the most: on stage. Do yourself and the audience a favor and create an outline with an organization pattern that best meets your needs.

Running Head: Public Speaking Class 1
Public Speaking Class 3
Each of the two chapters offers very important information. This information shall be summarized into the five most important items derived from each of the chapters as is done below:
Chapter Three: The Importance of Listening
¡ When we hear, we choose to filter out the sounds that we are of less meaning to us and pay attention to the more meaningful sounds.
¡ When we listen, we are motivated by a purpose to exert effort to pay attention to something, such as when working, something which we do only at given times.
¡ For a person to listen critically, an activity which goes hand in hand with critical thinking, he/she engages in a systematic thought process to determine whether the message received is sensible enough.
¡ Some of the main ways for developing critical listening are uncovering assumptions, recognizing the differences between facts and opinions, relating new ideas to old ones, being open to new ideas and relying on reason and common sense (Wrench, Goding, Johnson, & Attias, The Importance of Listening, 2011).
¡ To listen ethically entails giving the speaker a fair opportunity to speak make himself clearly understood, and being mindful and respectful of him as well.
Chapter Four: Ethics Matter: Understanding the Ethics of Public Speaking
¡ Based on the ethics pyramid, the three basic concepts of ethics in public speaking are ends (what a person hopes to achieve), means (how a person intends to achieve the outcome he desires) and intention.
¡ For ethics to be exercised efficiently in public speaking, the speaker should be able to strike a balance between these three basic concepts.
¡ Nine principles of ethical communication basically define the moral considerations that are to be made when engaging in communication under public speaking.
¡ What each of these principles have in common is that they acknowledge that while it is necessary for public speakers to speak up/communicate whenever they feel it is necessary, they should do so while considering the impact of their communication to others.
¡ Free speech, which is the right that one has to freely express ideas or information without having to worry about government restrictions or any other limitations as guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution is of importance to a public speaker since public speaking generally entails the passage of information and ideas to the public allowing them to consider multiple points of view (Wrench, Goding, Johnson, & Attias, Ethics Matters: Understanding the Ethics of Public Speaking, 2011).

Canons of Rhetoric: Speech Analysis
So what are the characteristics of an effective public speaker?
When beginning public speaking, students are asked the above question. It is often met with responses such as a strong voice, charisma, gestures, addressing the audience in a friendly tone, use of humor, and eye contact. These responses are very similar to one another; they are addressing a speaker's ability to perform for an audience. But this performance is complex, often including other important attributes, such as reasoning with solid information, explaining complex ideas clearly, and providing the audience a clear direction of where the presentation is heading.
Situations similar to this one are not uncommon. Many people think of public speaking as the ability to control nerves in front of a group but neglect considering the importance of having ideas well organized before presenting them or practicing a lot to reduce those nerves. Some people think that because they have apprehension about speaking in front a group, they are completely inept in a public speaking situation. They are often surprised to find out that they are only looking at one piece of the puzzle.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle and his contemporaries began writing about what has become the field of communication today. In writing about what was called the canons of rhetoric, they were laying the foundation for public speaking as we know it today.
Four canons, or categories of criticism, were established:
¡ invention,
¡ arrangement,
¡ style, and
¡ delivery.
Invention looks at the creation of ideas. When evaluating a speaker from this point of view, the critic may note whether or not the speaker was found to be an authority on the subject matter. This was known as ethos. The critic also may question the use of evidence presented by the speaker (known as logos) and whether the evidence seems to prove what the speaker leads the audience to think it proves. A speaker's credibility would be examined under this canon, and though opinion based, it plays an important role in a speaker's success.
Questions asked under the invention canon might include the following:
¡ How well informed is this speaker?
¡ Does the speaker support claims with reliable evidence that is current and from a credible source?
Arrangement allows a critic to analyze the components of a presentation to determine whether or not they accomplish what the speaker intends. For example, a strong introduction usually allows the speaker to capture the audience's attention, to address a central message concisely, and to provide the audience with a clear sense of what path the presentation will be taking. A critic looking at arrangement would be examining the arrangement of ideas and how they contribute to the overall message the speaker intends.
Questions for this canon might include the following:
¡ Were things presented in a way that was easy to understand and follow?
¡ Do the introduction, body, and conclusion .

âI read a thing that actually says that speaking in front of a crowd is considered the number one fear of
the average person. I found that amazingânumber two was death! That means to the average person if
you have to be at a funeral, you would rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy.â Jerry Seinfeld

Confident Communication
Many people, throughout history, have addressed presentations and speaking in public. Socrates, Plato, and
Aristotle spent a great deal of time presenting and analyzing presentation skills in the mid-400s BC. In our
current business environment, leaders are expected to have the ability to give presentations.
Do you love to present to others or does the thought of presenting cause you to break out in a cold sweat?
Dale Carnegie, an American writer, lecturer, and the developer of famous courses in presentation and
speaking skills (n.d.), once said, âThere are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one
you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.â Josh Russell, contributor to the UK Elite
Business (2013), states, âKnowing how to pitch and present is a vital skill.... And, as with any skill, practice
very much makes perfectâ (p. 1). According to Russell, people have varied skills when presenting and need to
practice in order to develop confidence (p. 1, 2013). Even the best presenters get nervous. Survey after
survey reports that speaking in public is a common fear. Natalie Sisson (2012), Forbes writer, suggests that
âthe fear of public speaking is the most common fear and prevents many people from achieving their
potentialâ and asks readers to âImagine if you were comfortable speaking in public and took every opportunity
presented, how would your life improve? According to Sisson, if you choose to address your fears and
present anyway you will be viewed as a brave leader because you are trying, expose yourself to new clients
and opportunities, gain the trust of your clients, reduce your competition because you are willing to face your
fear, and accomplish great things because every time you speak you improve (p. 1).
Understanding why you are nervous is a great first step to dealing with anxieties. Beebe & Mottet (2013) offer
a few tips for building confidence. They suggest that you do not procrastinate so that you have pl ...

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empireâs society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. THE INFORMATIVE SPEECH
The purpose of the informative speech is to provide interesting,
useful, and unique information to your audience.
In general, you will use four major types of informative
speeches. While you can classify informative speeches many
ways, the speech you deliver will fit into one of four major
categories.
In this guide, we focus on informative speeches about:
Objects
Processes
Events
Concepts
3. INFORMATIVE SPEECH ABOUT
OBJECTS
Speeches about objects focus on things existing in the world.
Objects include, among other things, people, places, animals, or
products.
limit your speech to a focused discussion of some aspect of your
topic.
Some example topics for speeches about objects include: the
Central Intelligence Agency, tombstones, surgical lasers, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, the pituitary gland, and lemmings.
To focus these topics, you could give a speech about Franklin
Delano Roosevelt and efforts to conceal how he suffered from
polio while he was in office. Or, a speech about tombstones
could focus on the creation and original designs of grave
markers.
4. SPEECHES ABOUT PROCESS
Speeches about processes focus on patterns of action.
One type of speech about processes, the demonstration
speech, teaches people "how-to" perform a process. More
frequently, however, you will use process speeches to
explain a process in broader terms. This way, the audience
is more likely to understand the importance or the context
of the process.
A speech about how milk is pasteurized would not teach
the audience how to milk cows. Rather, this speech could
help audience members understand the process by making
explicit connections between patterns of action (the
pasteurization process) and outcomes (a safe milk supply).
5. OTHER EXAMPLES ABOUT PROCESS
Other examples of speeches about processes include:
how the Internet works (not "how to work the
Internet"), how to construct a good informative
speech, and how to research the job market.
As with any speech, be sure to limit your discussion to
information you can explain clearly and completely
within time constraints.
6. SPEECHES ABOUT EVENTS
Speeches about events focus on things that happened, are
happening, or will happen.
When speaking about an event, remember to relate the
topic to your audience. A speech chronicling history is
informative, but you should adapt the information to your
audience and provide them with some way to use the
information.
As always, limit your focus to those aspects of an event
that can be adequately discussed within the time
limitations of your assignment.
7. EXAMPLES OF SPEECHES OF EVENTS
Examples of speeches about events include:
The 1963 Civil Rights March on Washington,
Groundhog's Day, the Battle of the Bulge, the World
Series, and the 2000 Presidential Elections.
8. SPEECHES OF CONCEPTS
Speeches about concepts focus on beliefs, ideas, and theories.
While speeches about objects, processes, and events are fairly
concrete, speeches about concepts are more abstract.
Take care to be clear and understandable when creating and
presenting a speech about a concept. When selecting a concept,
remember you are crafting an informative speech.
Focus your efforts toward providing unbiased information and
refrain from making arguments.
Because concepts can be vague and involved, limit your speech
to aspects that can be readily explained and understood within
the time limits.
9. EXAMPLES OF CONCEPT SPEECHES
Some examples of topics for concept speeches
include: democracy, Taoism, principles of feminism,
the philosophy of non-violent protest, and the Big
Bang theory.
TAOISM- Itâs a Chinese movement. Itâs not a doctrine,
neither a system of belief, but itâs something closely
related to a personal experience. Itâs a style of living
and a way in which the world is seen.
10. DEMONSTRATIVE SPEECHES
In a nutshell, a good demonstration speech teaches.
The goal is to successfully teach a process or skill.
It's a variation of the informative speech with in-built visual
aids.
The audience, through listening, watching or participating,
learns something new.
As their guide, you will take them through a process of
'show and tell' covering each step from set-up to finish.
Think of it as a 'how-to' speech.
11. if my demonstration speech is on 'how to tie a tie', then the
desired result is an audience capable of tying their own ties
or at least inspired to try.
You will have an introduction in which you tell the audience
what it is they're going to learn, why they'll benefit from
learning it and why you chose the topic.
Next you have the body of the speech. This is the
demonstration itself.
Lastly, you'll have a conclusion summarizing what it is
that's been learned and reinforcing its benefits.
12. SOME EXAMPLES OF
DEMONSTRATIVE SPEECHES
Examples of topics easily fitting its requirements are:
How to wax a surfboard
How to make a pumpkin pie
How to fix a puncture in your bike tire
13. PERSUASIVE SPEECH
When you deliver a persuasive speech, you want to inspire others to do
something or take your side on an issue.
To deliver a great speech, you must appeal to emotion, ground your
argument in logic and demonstrate your passion for a cause.
Construct a speech that is based on logic and facts from authoritative
sources.
The use of statistics can be particularly essential in building your argument.
But don't weigh your speech down with statistics. Too much will bore your
audience.
Sprinkle in personal stories and anecdotes that can pull at the audiences'
emotions.
Prepare three main points that you want the audience to take away from
your speech
14. THE SPEECH TO ENTERTAIN
The after-dinner speech is a good example of a
speech to entertain.
The speaker provides pleasure and enjoyment that
will make the audience laugh or identify themselves
with anecdotal information.
15. THE AUDIENCE RESEARCH
Every communication must be in the form and style
that suits the audience.
To analyze the audience, there are some important
factors to be considered:
1. Age factor
2. Socio-culture
3. Educational background
4. Economic background
5. Expectation of audience
16. PARTS OF A SPEECH
A speech has three fundamental parts
Introduction
Main body
Conclusion
In fact, composition of the main body determines the
nature of the introduction, as well as the conclusion.
17. LANGUAGE AND STYLE
The style of oral communication is different from the
style of written communication, in any language .
The following tips should be considered by the speaker :
Avoid difficult words that can create confusion
Avoid using technical terms .
Avoid using socially unpleasant words
Avoid repeating phrases like; you see, you know...
