This is the written full sentence working outline for a 4:00 minute speech I will be giving for Public Speeking on Ich Ben Ein Berliner. I have summarized below what the assignment is exactly. I have attached 3 of the 4 sources I need to use. Those sources being:
Ich Ben Ein Speech
Aristotle Reading
Toulmin Reading
I also have attched the grading rubric which will be used, and the actual assignment. I understand that the speech is all on me, but I need the outline for the speech.
Directions for Preparing Your Speech:
1. Choose your topic – Ich Ben Ein Berliner
2. Research – you are expected to have at least four source citations and a works cited page to be
turned in with your outline. For this assignment, web sites and reference books (e.g. an
encyclopedia) are accepted sources. Don’t forget the readings that we’ve used in class as well
when doing your research.
3. Organize your speech into two main areas. This can be done in a variety of ways but must
demonstrate appropriate application of at least two Aristotelian concepts. For example, I might
make my first area about the audience and use Black and Aristotle to determine the available
means of persuasion / appropriate topoi. The second area might then look at ethos, pathos, and
logos to determine success of the speech.
4. Prepare a full-sentence working outline to be turned in and a speaking outline (on note cards)
for your use during the speech.
Directions for the Speech
1. This is an extemporaneous speech and will be delivered from note cards. You will not be
allowed any other notes (e.g. notebook paper). You note cards must be numbered and written
on one side only. I recommend you attach them together, but this is not a requirement.
2. You introduction must include an attention getter, a statement of significance, and a roadmap.
It should be about :30 in length.
3. The body of the speech must include two main areas with subpoints that act as supporting
material. It should be about 3:00 in length.
4. The conclusion must summarize the main points from the speech and provide closure. It should
be about :30 in length.
5. These are the minimum requirements for the presentation:
a. You must have at least 4 orally cited sources.
Objective: You will prepare and deliver an extemporaneous 4:00 minute Aristotelian analysis speech on a one of the Top 100 speeches of your choice.
