The classical (Greek/Roman) arrangement of a speech in order is:
1. Exordium (Introduction) — grab attention, establish goodwill/credibility, and state the purpose.
2. Narratio (Narration) — give the background or facts the audience needs to understand the issue.
3. Partitio / Propositio (Division/Thesis) — state your central claim/proposition and outline the points you will make.
4. Confirmatio (Confirmation) — present your main arguments and evidence in support of the claim.
5. Refutatio / Confutatio (Refutation) — address and rebut opposing arguments or objections.
6. Peroratio (Conclusion) — summarize, reinforce the case, and close with an emotional or memorable appeal.
(You may see slightly different names or a five-part version in some texts, but this six-part order is the traditional, commonly taught sequence.)
