The body of your speech / main points / main discussion is the part you mostly show your intention in the speech.

Let's say that you are doing an informative speech, so this is the part you need to make sure that the speech you deliver actually informs your audience about your topic(s).

Here's a few points to be considered when preparing your speech:

1. Prepare your ideas in points, including main points and a few supporting points. Use "signpost" to help you arrange the ideas.

2. Limit your discussion. For a short speech, 3 points are quite fine. For longer speech, you might need to include more points. Keeping audience engaged with a lot of information about few points is much better than presenting too many points, but not being able to explain about them.

3. Stick to one type of organization:

Chronological / Temporal

Cause - Effect

Topical

Comparison and Contrast

4. Use a variation of gestures, vocal manipulations, and keep eye contact

Task:

Share to the section how you plan to structure the main points of your speech, and what kind of organization do you plan to use?

Example:

For my speech, I plan to deliver the main points by having it structured in a chronological order. I will focus on three aspects of time: before 1999, after 2000, and now. To deliver my speech, I will use _________ sub points that highlight about _(strengths/facts/ideas)___ from each of the three points (aspects of time)

Organizing speeches serves two important functions. First, organization helps improve clarity of thought in a systematic way. Second, organization increases the likelihood that the speech will be effective

Audiences are unlikely to understand disorganized speeches and even less likely to think that disorganized speakers are reliable or credible. Speeches are organized into three main parts: introduction, body, and conclusion.

Introduction

The introduction of the speech establishes the first, crucial contact between the speaker and the audience. For most classroom speeches, the introduction should last less than a minute. The introduction needs to accomplish three things:

Focus your audience's attention. Speakers must have an "attention grabber" to interest the audience-a joke, astonishing fact, or anecdote. (Rhetorical questions like "Haven't you ever wondered how..." are notoriously ineffective.) The introduction is the place where the main claim or idea should be stated very clearly to give the audience a sense of the purpose of the speech. Speakers need to orient the audience and make connections between what they know or are already interested in and the speech topic.

Establish goodwill and credibility. Many people believe the most important part of persuasion was ethos, or the character the speaker exhibited to the audience. The audience needs to see the speaker as someone to listen to attentively and sympathetically. Ethos is generated by both delivery style and content of the speech. Making eye contact with the audience and displaying confidence in voice and body are two important ways to establish ethos. In addition, if you express ideas that are original and intelligent, you will show what "intellectual character." Audiences pay attention to habits of thought that are interesting and worth listening to.

Give a preview. Mentioning the main points to be covered in the body prepares the audience to listen for them. Repetition is an important aspect of public speaking, for listening is an imperfect art, and audience members nearly always tune out in parts--sometimes to think about previous parts of the speech, sometimes for other reasons. The preview should end with a transition, a brief phrase or a pause to signal to the audience that the speech is moving out of the introduction and into the body.

The body follows and is itself structured by a mode of organization, a logical or culturally specific pattern of thinking about ideas, events, objects, and processes. Having a mode of organization means grouping similar material together and linking the component parts together with transitions. Good transitions show the relation between parts of a speech. They display the logic of the speech. Common transition phrases include: in addition to, furthermore, even more, next, after that, then, as a result, beyond that, in contrast, however, and on the other hand. One special type of transition is called the internal summary, a brief restatement of the main point being completed.

Body

In the body, the fewer the main points the better. For short classroom speeches, under 10 minutes, speeches should not have more than three main points. For longer speeches, more than five main points ensures that audiences will have trouble following and remembering the speech. In the speech, main points should be clearly stated and "signposted," marked off as distinct and important to the audience. Transitions often serve to signpost new points, as do pauses before an important idea. Additionally, speakers might number main points-first, second, third or first, next, finally. Always make it easy for the audience to recognize and follow key ideas.

There are several common modes of organizing the information in the body of your speech:

Temporal organization groups information according to when it happened or will happen. Types of temporal patterns include chronological (in the sequence it occurred) and reverse chronological (from ending back to start). Inquiry order is one special mode of temporal organization useful in presenting some kinds of research: here you organize the body in accord with the unfolding processes of thinking and gathering data, taking the audience from the initial curiosity and questions to final results.

Cause-effect is a related mode of organization, showing how one event brings about another. Cause-effect, like other temporal modes, may be used for past, present, or future events and processes. Cause-effect can also be reversed, from effect back to cause.

Spatial patterns group and organize your speech based on physical arrangement of its parts. If a speech is describing a place, a physical object, or a process of movement--downtown Mercer, a plant cell, or the Battle of Shiloh--spatial patterns can be useful.

Topical designs are appropriate when the subject matter has clear categories of division. Government in the United States, for instance, falls into federal, state, and local categories; or into executive, legislative, and judicial branches; into elected and appointed officials. Categories like these can help divide the subject matter to organize the main points.

Compare/contrast takes two or more entities and draws attention to their differences and/or similarities. Sometimes speakers explain a difficult subject by comparing it with an easier, more accessible one--to explain nuclear fusion with the stages of high school romance, for instance. The use of analogies often assists in audience understanding.

Conclusion

Following a transition from the body of the speech, the conclusion follows. The conclusion should be somewhat shorter than the introduction and accomplishes two purposes: summarize main ideas and give the speech a sense of closure and completion. Good conclusions might refer back to the introduction, offer an analogy or metaphor that captures the main idea, or leave the audience with a question or a challenge of some type. Brief quotations can also make effective conclusions (just as they can make effective openings for introductions).

Introduction is a very important part of your speech. That's why you need to have a proper plan on how you would begin your speech!

Find some ideas to begin your speech here:

1. https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/how-to-start-a-speech

2. https://www.genardmethod.com/blog/your-speechs-introduction-how-to-make-it-powerful

Practice speaking your introduction and highlight a few points of how you wish to deliver it.

For example:

greeting audience -> tell a (personal/fictional) story -> getting into the topic -> introduce the speech goal

Supply a video featuring your speech introduction on this section (duration: 1-2 minutes)

along with your introduction delivery plan (in keypoints and arrow like the example above).

This pdf contains some tips about how you can practice your speech to speak more effectively.

On page 10, you will find questions (that hopefully) help you manage stage-fright.

These are the questions:

1. What is the cause of self-consciousness?

2. Why are animals free from it?

3. What is your observation regarding self-consciousness in children?

4. Why are you free from it under the stress of unusual excitement?

5. How does moderate excitement affect you?

6. What are the two fundamental requisites for the acquiring of self-confidence? Which is the more important?

7. What effect does confidence on the part of the speaker have on the audience?

8. Write out a two-minute speech on "Confidence and Cowardice."

9. What effect do habits of thought have on confidence? In this connection read the chapter on "Right Thinking and Personality."

10. Write out very briefly any experience you may have had involving the teachings of this chapter.

11. Give a three-minute talk on "Stage-Fright," including a (kindly) imitation of two or more victims.

I would like you to think about some responses that you think would be possible to these questions, and then:

Choose 2 to 3 questions from the list and make a short video to show your perspectives about them. Durations may vary, but make sure it's short (around 1-2 minutes is enough)
