This document provides guidance for students preparing and delivering their first speech. It discusses developing an outline with an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction should grab attention and preview main points. The body should include a story with exposition, conflict, climax and resolution along with a rhetorical device. The conclusion should signal the end and review main ideas. The document also reviews delivery best practices like eye contact, vocal energy, and practicing without notes. Students are provided exercises to identify rhetorical devices, develop story plots, and compare outline styles.
