Answer 1

I took a speech class last quarter and the focus was on informative speeches and preparing outlines.

1. Introduction - the topic and main point of the message. Can be done with a thesis statement. An overview of what will be talked about. (five to eight sentences for the introduction paragraph).

2. Body - Informative (usually three to five paragraphs) discussing facts relating to the main idea/topic of the message.

3. Conclusion - summary or recap of what as been said and a reminder of the main topic or main point you are trying to convey.

Be sure to cite any facts, statistics or quotations that you use.
