The introduction

Chapter 4.1 The Introduction Can “Make or Break” You as a Speaker.


Firts of all, I think, that everybody will agree with me, that introduction is the trickiest part of the speech. Because you should denote your topic, main problem and etc.

So, there are five most common attention-getters for introduction are mentioned, which are:

  1. Asking questions
  2. Making references 
  3. Making a startling statement
  4. Giving a quotation
  5. Telling a story
Task for today is: "Watch 5 public speech performances and identify the technique(s) used in the introduction in each performance."
In this speech author starts his theme by using question and opens the topic by answer on his own question. I think i'd give to this topic 2, because i think, that it was a little bit long, In general this speech is beutifull speaker affects interesting theme wich is connected with everyone.
Ramona J. Smith tells the story about live compares it with a boxer. This style is gergeous because the speech remains in the "mind cache". Undoubtedly 3/3 points.
In this speech Rita Pierson tells the story of her live and makes a refferences to it. She is a techer, and her topic is a very close to us. 3/3 in my opinion this is the best topic!
In this topic author starts with a questions and following comments for it. 3/3 every question is connected with the topic.
The attention-getter is making a reference. 3pts for the transition

Rules

-
My groupmates have created some rules of good behaving: 1. Try to use proper punctuation, spelling and grammar to make your text understandable for readers. 2. Be active, leave comments under your groupmates' posts, say what you like/dislike.  3. No cursing and expressing offensive opinions.  4. Respect people’s privacy (do not share media files/articles of other person without his/her permission).  5. Try to choose design comfortable for reading. It does not denote that it should be plain, just remember basic rules. For example, that it is easier to perceive three colors than five or more. 6. Try not to use many official language or complicated terms in your blog. It can make your blog incomprehensible for some people. 7. Write clearly, concisely, and on the subject.  8. Help others if you can.

The body

-
Today i'm going to do the task wich is connected with the speech, videlicet, the body. So, as well as the introduction, the body part has the basic formula of three too. Introduction — Establish topic and core message; list supporting points. Body:       Supporting Point One;       Supporting Point Two;       Supporting Point Three.

Make sure you provide a detailed structure of the body of the speech. You can use the sample outline in paragraph 4.2 as an example.
