Body of speech
main part of the speech; contains major ideas
AIDA
an organizational plan that involves attention, interest, desire, and action
completeness
a principle of outlining which states that all important information on the message topic should be included
conclusion
the final part of a speech
coordination
all ideas at the same level of the outline should have the same degree of generality
division
a principle of outlining, which states that every idea which is divided should have at least 2 parts
introduction
the beginning of a speech
motivated sequence
an organizational plan which has 5 steps: attention, need, satisfaction, visualization, and action
planning outline
detailed outline used for preparing a speech
progression
a principle of outlining which assesses the logical sequence of events
speaking outline
abbreviated outline used when presenting a speech
subordination
a principle of outlining which states that secondary ideas should be lower (more specific) than primary ideas
symbolization
a principle of outlining that uses symbols and indentation to indicate lvls of abstraction of every point in the outline
3 organizational plans for structuring persuasive messages
1) intro-body-conclusion
2) AIDA
3) motivated sequence
5 functions of an introduction
1) gain attention
2) establish report
3) give audience a reason to listen
4) state purpose
5) preview the main points of a speech
purposes of a persuasive message
to create, reinforce, or change attitudes or behaviors of individuals in an audience
cause-effect pattern
used when a speaker is focusing on the nature of a problem. The first point describes factors that influence, while the second point follows with the results.
types of attention-getters
- reporting a startling statement or statistic
- asking a question
- using a quotation
- referring to the audience or the speaking situation
- using an analogy
- telling a story
- talking about a personal experience
organizational patterns of the body of a speech
1) cause-effect
2) sequential
2) 2-sided
3) problem-solution
4) topical
when is the sequential pattern of org. for a body adopted?
when the speaker is presenting one solution to a problem in great detail. The main points of the speech are the steps of the plan and the subpoints justify each step
when is 2-sided pattern adopted?
when a speaker focuses on 2 solutions and advocates the best solution to a problem
2 kinds of 2-sided messages
1) non-refutational (describes the opposing args. only)
2) refutational (argues against the opposing arg.) –> more persuasive
4 functions of a conclusion
1) summarize main points
2) create a sense of connection
3) inspire an appropriate frame of mind
4) make a final appeal
2 types of outlines
1) planning (more detailed, full sentence, includes bibliography)
2) speaking (key words/ideas)
6 principles of outlining
1) division - an idea must be subdivided into at least 2 parts
2) symbolization - consistency in indentation
3) coordination - same lvl ideas should have same generality
4) subordination - 2ary ideas should be more specific than 1ary ideas
5) progression - do ideas make sense how they are organized?
6) completeness - all important ideas should be included
PAR principle
Purpose, Audience, Research should be kept in mind when deciding which organizational plan and pattern to use.
Comparison and contrast
(demonstrating) similarities and differences b/w what a speaker want to explain and what the audience already understands
danger control

-Likely to be processed centrally
expert testimony

explanation/description
(providing) background info on a topic
fear control
ignoring a message or denying the risk w/o taking constructive action to cope with danger. Hypothetical example: fictional instance that helps the audience understand the nature of a problem. Likely to be extended rather than a brief mention.
inductive reasoning
inferring a general principle from specific examples
