Step-by-StepResearch and

Mapping (Org)

• You’ve selected a topic; start researching. As you research, map out the information that you have. What do you want to include? Do you have enough material?

Organizing and Outlining

• You have your information, now you can finish up with your organization. What is the logical order? How will you fit that into your intro, body, and conclusion? Some people may focus on the body of the speech during the first step—focusing on the intro and conclusion at this stage. Put your “map” into your outline format.

Practicing delivery

(strategies, word choice)

• Practice your delivery. Are you using the correct words? Vocal variety? Eye contact?
