We’ve heard what we have to do. We’ve seen what we need to do. Now is the time to do it, and, together, we can do it. ” Contrast � "We can have____, or we can have ______. The choice is ours, and is based entirely on the decision we each individually make today. _____ or _____. ( I know I'm choosing _____. )"

Will you ____, or will you go about your normal routine? ” Direct Call to Action � "In order to guarantee that we save ______ tomorrow, we need to _____ today. If every person in this room leaves and immediately _____, I can guarantee that will result in ______ next year!"

The Use of Transition

Transition Audiences need help in moving smoothly from one topic to another. Transitions provide these valuable bridges, helping the audience to follow the ideas being presented and to see the relationship of those ideas. Transitions usually are used as you move � From the speech introduction to the body � From a main point to a subpoint � From a subpoint to supporting materials � From supporting materials to another main point � From the last supporting materials to the conclusion

Transition Transitions can be words, phrases, statements or questions. Some transitional words are � afterward, also, but, consequently, consider, finally, instead, later, meanwhile, moreover, next, then yet. Some transitional phrases are � According to, as a result, for example, for instance, in addition, let’s begin with, more importantly, this means, to illustrate. Some transitional questions are � “If this program is so valuable, why is everyone resisting it? ” � We must consider three things in developing this new product. First is. . . Second is. . . Third is. . .

Practice Now, use the above tips to examine your speech. Do you have proper transitions? Examine your partner’s speech to see if this speech has transitions � From the speech introduction to the body � From a main point to a subpoint � From a subpoint to support material � From support material to another main point � From the last support material to the conclusion

Reminders

Reminders: Do you… Select an outline that’s appropriate for your topic and allows your listeners to easily follow and understand your presentation? Make Your message clear to the audience? � The main points, sub-points and support materials should contribute to that message. Use appropriate transitional words, phrases, statements or questions as you move from one idea to another? Create a strong opening and conclusion?

Make Your Meaning Clear Avoid technical terms when addressing. Put ideas into language plain enough for any boy or girl to comprehend. Use exhibits, pictures, illustrations when possible. Restate your big ideas; but don’t repeat, don’t use the same phrases twice. Use specific instances and concrete cases to make abstract statement clear. Do not strive to cover too many points. Close with a brief summary.
