Maximum impact: organizing your presentation
Article Abstract:
Three models of speech organization are described. The first model was inspired by Cicero in the book 'I Can See You Naked' by Ron Hoff. Cicero's discourse model included the introduction, statement of facts, division, proof, refutation and conclusion. The second model involves the development of organizational pattern that allows speakers to place their supporting materials in sequence. The third model is the most simple, consisting only of the introduction, the body and the conclusion.
