    INTRODUCTION (All capital letters)
    I.Attention Getter: This represents the first words out of your mouth! So make
    sure it GRABS the audience in. 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
    I.Specific Purpose Statement: Today, I will inform you…
    II.Significance/ Relevance to the audience: This statement should let the
    audience know why it is relevant and/or important to them.
    III.Credibility: If you have a particular credibility with a topic (i.e. if you are a
    member, work at, or have used the services) then reveal this and your
    research on the topic in a credibility statement. This will help create trust
    between you and your audience and demonstrate that you know what you are
    discussing.
    IV.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. Another option is to use three sentences with parallel words
    (i.e. first, second, third) to be simple and concise and allow the audience to
    hear how many points they will hear within your speech.
    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….”

    body into your conclusion.
    CONCLUSION (All capital letters)
    I. Review Statement: This statement should reiterate
    your points again to summarize what your audience learned about in your
    speech. Make sure to include all of your main points. This should be the
    mirror image of your preview statement but written/spoken in past tense,
    “Today we have learned about…”
    II. Final Thought: This sentence(s) leave your audience
    with a great last impression of you and your speech/information. Like the
    attention getter, you can use devices such as a quote, question, story,
    joke, etc. to create a lasting memory. Better yet! Tie it to your attention
    getter.
    WORKS CITED
    Your works cited should represent ONLY the information/evidence you use
    within your speech as opposed to all of the information you
