WHAT IS THE MODULE ALL ABOUT?

This module is designed to let you understand the principles of speech writing.
Writing a speech also follows a process and there are certain components that must
be considered. Speech writing is a recursive process which means that you have the
opportunity to repeat a writing procedure indefinitely or produce multiple drafts first
before you can settle on the right one. The principles of speech writing will serve as
guideposts in developing your speech which you will proficiently deliver once you
are done with it and you are all set for delivery to an audience.

YOU WILL STUDY THE FOLLOWING TOPIC IN THIS MODULE:

• Grammatical correctness

The Speech Writing Process

Just like events planning, or any other activities, writing an effective

speech follows certain steps or processes. The process for writing is not
chronological or linear; rather, it is recursive. That means you have the
opportunity to repeat a writing procedure indefinitely or produce multiple
drafts first before you can settle on the right one. Figure 1 shows the
schematic diagram.

The following are the components of the speech writing process.

Audience analysis entails looking into the profile of your target audience. This
is done so you can tailor-fit your speech content and delivery to your
audience. The profile includes the following information.
• demography (age range, male-female ratio, educational
background and affiliations or degree program taken, nationality,
economic status, academic or corporate designations)
• situation (time, venue, occasion, and size)
• psychology (values, beliefs, attitudes, preferences, cultural and
racial ideologies, and needs)
Key Points
• Knowing your audience —their general age, gender, education
level, religion, language, culture, and group membership—is the single
most important aspect of developing your speech.

• Analyzing your audience will help you discover information that you
can use to build common ground between you and the members of
your audience.
• A key characteristic in public speaking situations is the unequal
distribution of speaking time between the speaker and the audience.
This means that the speaker talks more, and the audience listens, often
without asking questions or responding with any feedback.

The purpose for writing and delivering the speech can be classified into
three—to inform, to entertain, or to persuade.
An informative speech provides the audience with a clear
understanding of the concept or idea presented by the speaker.
An entertainment speech provides the audience with
amusement.

A persuasive speech provides the audience with well-argued

ideas that can influence their own beliefs and decisions.
The purpose can be general and specific. Study the examples below
to see the differences.

• The topic is your focal point of your speech, which can be determined
once you have decided on your purpose. If you are free to decide on a
topic, choose one that really interests you. There are a variety of
strategies used in selecting a topic, such as using your personal
experiences, discussing with your family members or friends, free writing,
listing, asking questions, or semantic webbing.

• Narrowing down a topic means making your main idea more specific
and focused. The strategies in selecting a topic can also be used when
you narrow down a topic. In the example below, “Defining and
developing effective money management skills of Grade 11 students” is
the specific topic out of a general one, which is “Effective money
management.”

• Data gathering is the stage where you collect ideas, information,

sources, and references relevant or related to your specific topic. This can
be done by visiting the library, browsing the web, observing a certain
phenomenon or event related to your topic, or conducting an interview or
survey. The data that you will gather will be very useful in making your
speech informative, entertaining, or persuasive.

• Writing patterns, in general, are structures that will help you organize
the ideas related to your topic. Examples are biographical,
categorical/topical, causal, chronological, comparison/contrast, problem-
solution, and spatial

Below are different writing patterns from which you can select the one
that best suits your topic and/or purpose.

• An outline is a hierarchical list that shows the relationship of your ideas.
Experts in public speaking state that once your outline is ready, two-thirds
of your speech writing is finished. A good outline helps you see that all
the ideas are in line with your main idea or message. The elements of an
outline include introduction, body, and conclusion. Write your outline
based on how you want your ideas to develop.
Below are some of the suggested formats.

• The body of the speech provides explanations, examples, or any details

that can help you deliver your purpose and explain the main idea of
your speech. One major consideration in developing the body of your
speech is the focus or central idea. The body of your speech should only
have one central idea.

MODULE
The following are some strategies to highlight your main idea.
Present real-life or practical examples
Show statistics
Present comparisons
Share ideas from the experts or practitioners
• The introduction is the foundation of your speech. Here, your primary
goal is to get the attention of your audience and present the subject or
main idea of your speech. Your first few words should do so. The
following are some strategies.
Use a real-life experience and connect that experience to your
subject.
Use practical examples and explain their connection to your
subject.
Start with a familiar or strong quote and then explain what it
means.
Use facts or statistics and highlight their importance to your
subject.
Tell a personal story to illustrate your point.
• The conclusion restates the main idea of your speech. Furthermore, it
provides a summary, emphasizes the message, and calls for action.
While the primary goal of the introduction is to get the attention of your
audience, the conclusion aims to leave the audience with a memorable
statement. The following are some strategies.
Begin your conclusion with a restatement of your message.
Use positive examples, encouraging words, or memorable lines
from songs or stories familiar to your audience.
Ask a question or series of questions that can make your audience
reflect or ponder.

•Editing/Revising your written speech involves correcting errors in

mechanics, such as grammar, punctuation, capitalization, unity,
coherence, and others. Andrew Dlugan (2013), an award-winning
public speaker, lists six power principles for speech editing.
Edit for focus

“So, what’s the point? What’s the message of the speech?”

Ensure that everything you have written, from introduction to
conclusion, is related to your central message.

Edit for clarity.
“I don’t understand the message because the examples or
supporting details were confusing.”
Make all ideas in your speech clear by arranging them in logical
order (e.g., main idea first then supporting details, or supporting
details first then main idea).
Edit for concision.

“The speech was all over the place; the speaker kept talking
endlessly as if no one was listening to him/her.”
Keep your speech short, simple, and clear by eliminating
unrelated stories and sentences and by using simple words.
