  3. Methods to Gain Attention • Relate the topic to the audience • State the importance of the topic • Startle the audience (make it relevant) • Arouse the curiosity of the audience • Question the audience • Use a quotation • Tell a story • Refer to the occasion, use visual aids, humor, or relate to the previous speaker

  4. Tips on Introductions • Make it brief • Look for potential material as you research • Be creative • Work out the introduction in detail so it can be delivered most effectively

  5. Conclusions • Functions: • signal the end of the speech • reinforce the audience’s understanding of, or commitment to, the central idea

  6. Methods to Conclude • Use a brief verbal cue (e.g.,‘in conclusion’) • Use the voice through either a ‘crescendo’ or ‘dissolve’ ending • Summarize the main points of the speech • Conclude with a quotation • End with a dramatic statement • Refer back to the introduction

  7. Tips on Concluding • Look for potential material as you research your topic • End with a ‘bang’ instead of a ‘whimper’ • Don’t be long-winded in the conclusion
