PUBLIC SPEAKING

PRIMARY GOAL OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

A public speaker has three primary goals when delivering a speech: to inform, to convince and to persuade his audience.

RHETORIC

Rhetoric is a way of speaking or writing that is intended to impress or influence people but is not always sincere.

RHETORICAL CANONS

Rhetorical Canons are a set of tools you apply to preparing and performing s

EXAMPLE OF RHETORICAL

One famous example would be Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech. "Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

We have five canons :

1)Invention

2)Arrangement

3)Style

4)Memory

5)Delivery

INVENTION

Invention is the process of sorting through all of the things that you could say and deciding on what to include and exclude.

Invention Means finding that right balance between what the audience needs to hear and what you say.

EXAMPLE OF INVENTION

A political candidate comes up with several major points she wants to bring up in a debate.

Before writing a paper, a student does a freewriting exercise to come up with a good topic.

Before a major trial, a defense attorney thinks of ways to combat the charges against her client.

ARRANGEMENT

The rhetorical canon of arrangement. gives your speech good structure. If you've arranged your ideas in the right order, your audience will easily follow and understand your message.

EXAMPLE OF ARRANGEMENT

A political candidate decides that she will first talk about civil rights; next, she will talk about the economy; finally, she will talk about international relations.

Before writing a paper, a student creates an outline to determine the order in which he will discuss his major points.

STYLE

Style is the process of choosing language and constructing your presentation so as to create an emotional response..

EXAMPLE OF STYLE

A political candidate uses a humorous metaphor in which she compares being in Congress to

being in a zoo.

A student revises sentences he wrote in the passive voice into sentences in the active voice.

A defense attorney comes up with a witty line: “If the shoe doesn’t match, you must detach.”

MEMORY

Memory relates to remembering enough so that you can present fully and fluently, without notes.

EXAMPLES OF MEMORY

A political candidate rehearses her speech so that she doesn’t need to use a teleprompter or

script. She is able to make eye contact with the audience and more effectively use body

language.

A student memorizes his paper (or at least the major points of it) so that he can deliver it at an

academic conference without reading off the paper itself.

A defense attorney memorizes the key points of her closing argument so that she can more

effectively interact with the jurors

DELIVERY

Delivery is the last of the five canons of rhetoric. It involves using all the tools available to you to effectively communicate.

EXAMPLE OF DELIVERY

As she delivers her speech, a political candidate shows energy by speaking in a loud voice and

pounding the podium with her fist.

At an academic conference, a student walks around the room as he delivers his paper instead of

standing behind the podium the whole time.

During her closing argument, a defense attorney makes direct eye contact with each juror.
