...Persuasive Speech Outline CST 100 Principles of Public Speaking Oluwabusola Oshin “The Use of Standardized Test to Determine Admissions” Thesis Statement: My speech is to convince the audience why SAT or ACT scores should not be used to determine college admission decisions. I. Introduction a. Attention Getter: With a show of hands how many of you came into high school with the mindset of making killer grades so you can get into the college of your dreams? With another show of hands, how many of you ended up getting these killer grades? And with a final show of hands how many of your dreams were crushed because of poor SAT and/or ACT scores? b. I think that the use of standardized tests such as, the SAT or ACT, are an unfair way of determining acceptance. Some people are bad test takers and do not usually perform well on these tests. c. I feel that one test should not determine one’s acceptance into college because these students have been working hard for about four consecutive years to meet the requirements to gain admission into a certain university. One test does not show what a student is capable of achieving in college. Transition: Now, let us talk about why standardized testing should not be used to determine admissions. II. Body a. Unfair i. One test does not show one’s full potential or intelligence. ii. i iii. I think the pictures give meaning and life to the album. iv. The album itself is a masterpiece because of the...

...My overall impression on my speech was better than I anticipated. I was very nervous and anxious to get the speech over. I could tell that in the pace of my speech. I was rushing through it and at times it was hard for me to keep track of my place on the outline. I thought I gave good eye contact and I stayed on the speech path, but I could have projected my voice more so that it would have been easier to hear and understand what I was saying. I felt that the delivery was good but I could have moved around more and gave more hand gestures to keep my speech alive. Although I didn’t feel it was a boring speech, I feel like I still tell showed how nervous I really was by the body chemistry I gave off. I prepared a lot for the speech and I went over the speech 3 times in front of the camera at home. I think this helped me a great deal because I had full knowledge of what my speech was about. Because I was nervous and rushing through my speech I often lost my place on my outline, but was able to wing it because I had practiced. It helped a lot that I did my speech on a topic that I am very familiar with and used to talking about. I also used the technique in the chapter that tells you that when you are nervous take a deep breath and use a focus word, mine was “Money”. This technique helped me a great deal in the beginning because I actually felt overwhelmed and on the verge of an anxiety attack. Using this technique calmed me down and made me able to deliver my speech. ...
