PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH WRITING

When writing a speech, what

do we have to consider and
include?
 WRITE T IF THE STATEMENT IS TRUE; WRITE F IF IT IS
FALSE.

1. An outline determines whether your supporting

ideas match your main idea or not.
2. Any speech should include an introduction, body,
and conclusion.
3. In the introduction, you explain the importance of
your topic by giving examples.

FALSE.

4. Knowing the audience and the

occasion is crucial in writing a speech.
5. Rehearsing is a major requirement.
6. Speech writing is a recursive process.

FALSE.

7. The approach that you will use in your

introduction can determine the success of
your speech.
8. The primary objective of speech writing is
getting the right or appropriate topic.
 WRITE T IF THE STATEMENT IS TRUE; WRITE F IF IT IS
FALSE.

9. The purpose of the speech will help

you identify ideas that will support your
main idea or message.
10. Word choice is one consideration in
writing a speech.
 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.
