INTRODUCTION
Attention Getter: This represents the first words out of your mouth! So make
sure it GRABS the audience. Make sure it is relevant/appropriate to your topic.
Some devices you can use for the attention getter are:
? Joke/Humor (Make sure it is appropriate/in good taste!)
? Narrative/Story (Be brief)
? Shocking Statement
? Fact/Statistic
? Poem
? Quote
? Question
? Visual Aid/Activity
Purpose Statement: This statement should clarify to the audience what you are
going to inform them about and introduce your topic. Answer the questions,
“Why am I here and what is my topic?”
Significance: This statement should let the audience know why it is relevant
and/or important to them.
Credibility: (optional, but will help create ethos with your audience) If you have
a particular credibility with a topic (i.e. if you have diabetes and your speech is
on diabetes) then reveal this in a credibility statement. This will help create trust
between you and your audience and demonstrate that you know what you are
discussing.
Preview Statement: This statement should reveal ALL of your main points in
one simple sentence and give the audience a clear picture of what is to come in
your speech. Be sure to use parallel words/signposts (i.e. first, second, third) to
be simple and concise.
MAJOR TRANSITION: This statement allows the audience to hear that you are
moving from the introduction to the body and can be relatively brief. “Now that we
know what we are going to discuss, let us first look at….”

preview statement but written/spoken in past tense, “Today we have learned
about…”
B. Final Thought: This sentence should leave your audience with a great last
impression of you and your speech/information. Like the attention getter,
