Informative Speech Requirements

Prepare a detailed and complete sentence PREPARATION OUTLINE and drop in drop box by the deadline.
1. An interesting title .( MY TOPIC IS COMMUNICATING WITH ALZHEIMER’S PATIENT.)
2. Specific goal (aka “purpose”) must start with “To inform my audience . . .” (BE SPECIFIC!)
3. Thesis (aka “central idea”) must be a full detailed sentence.
4. Three sections labeled “introduction,” “body” and “conclusion.”
5. Traditional Roman numeral formatting
6. Points (numbered with Roman Numerals) and sub-points (numbered with capital letters) must be full sentences and they must “make a point.” They cannot be phrases, questions or just topics. If you are not sure your points and sub-points are making a point, ask me before you submit the final version! If done well and if I were to read only your points (and not your sub-points), I would have a logical story.
7. The introduction must have G.R.I.P.
8. The body must have three to five sections—each making a clear and distinct point to support your thesis.
9. The conclusion must have two parts: a summary which repeats the three points and a closing (i.e., a “button,” “clincher,” or ending).
10. There must be transitions between the introduction and the body and between the three points of the body. These transitions must be written in parentheses.
11. The last page is a reference page. List at least three references in APA format.

Slides: 30 points

Keep the slides simple and well-organized. Please do not be too “creative.” I want them clean, crisp and visually appealing.
1. Number and types of slides: You will have at least SIX SLIDES.
1. Title slide with title of speech and your full name. During this slide you provide the “GRI” part of “GRIP.”
2. Preview slide
3. One or two slides for each main point
4. Summary slide
5. NO SLIDE FOR “BUTTON”—exceptions only if your button requires a visual.
2. Only one font throughout deck (some minimal exceptions allowed)
3. Use bold, point size changes, underlining and italics wisely
4. Use very little text but give information (not just headings and photos) on each slide.
5. NEVER use full sentences unless it is for a quote.
6. Use a professional looking design template (not just black print on plain white slides).
7. No typos. No grammatical errors. POINTS OFF FOR GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION AND SPELLING ERRORS. If you are not sure, ask someone. Ask me.
8. Each slide is visually balanced (spacing, margins, etc.)
9. ALL slides must have headings (there are very few exceptions!)
a. All bulleted text on a slide needs to be perfectly lined up with all other bulleted text on that slide. The second line of a text item must be lined up with the previous line (as it is in this document.)
b. Visuals (photos, drawings, etc.) must be less than 25% of what is in your slide deck.
10. You may use animation to make sure the text or image is not visible until you need it but this is not required.
11. You are allowed to show videos but they must be short (under 45 seconds) and must be relevant to your point. Don’t use them if they aren’t perfect for your needs. (Test them in the classroom before you start.)
