1.CHOOSING A TOPIC AND DETERMINING A PURPOSE

3.SOURCING THE INFORMATION
4.OUTLINING AND ORGANIZING THE SPEECH CONTENT
5.EDITING. REVISING. PROOFREADING.
6.REHEARSING
Guidelines in speech writing
1. Keep your words short and simple. Your speech is meant to be heard by your
audience, not read.
2. Avoid jargon, acronyms, or technical words because they can confuse your
audience.
3. Make your speech more personal. Use the personal pronoun “I,” but take care
not to overuse it. When you need to emphasize collectiveness with your
audience, use the personal pronoun “we.”
4. Use active verbs and contractions because they add to the personal and
conversational tone of your speech.
5. Be sensitive of your audience. Be very careful with your language, jokes, and
nonverbal cues.
6. Use metaphors and other figures of speech to effectively convey your
point.
7. Manage your time well; make sure that the speech falls under the time limit.
