Writing+the+body+of+the+speech

The first thing you need to do when you are writing the body of your speech (the part that comes between the introduction and the conclusion and the part that has most of the information) is to decide on what the 'tone' will be. The tone of your speech means the feeling behind it. Your speech could be funny, entertaining, informative, factual, grumpy, happy etc. You need the tone of your speech to be the same for all of your speech. Once you have decided the tone, you will be able to write your sentences much more easily. Next, decide on three to seven main points that you want to make in your speech. Write each point as the first sentence of a new paragraph. The rest of the sentences in your paragraph will be about the main point (which is the first sentence). Try to have between 2 - 6 sentences in each paragraph. Don't forget that you need to involve your audience in your speech so write in a few things that you can use. Questions, dialogue, pauses for thought are good strategies. Also, try to use some literary devices to enhance your work. Personification Metaphor Alliteration Simile Onomatopoiea
