What should i do right after i mess up on a speech???/?

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. If you have a problem during a speech, just continue. Without an example of what you mean, it is extremely difficult to advise you. If the speech is over and you feel you have been in error, learn from that mistake. Research and prepare carefully for any rebuttal.

SraJMcGin, is right. Also realize that public speaking is THE most anxiety producing class there is. More people are afraid of standing up and speaking. So...yes, everyone will mess up at first. Experience and preparation are the cure. I always told my students to practice!!! Give your speech to everyone in your family who will listen..even the dog! Do it in front of the mirror... look yourself in the eye and practice. Pretty soon you will have more confidence and be able to stand in front of anyone and feel much more comfortable.

Sure! I can help you with structuring your informative speech. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create your speech:

1. Choose a current event: Select a topic that you find interesting and relevant. Look for recent events in the news, politics, science, technology, or any other field that you are passionate about.

2. Attention getter: Start your speech with a strong attention-grabbing opener. It could be a surprising statistic, a thought-provoking question, a compelling anecdote, or a powerful quote related to your topic. The goal is to capture your audience's attention and make them interested in what you have to say.

3. Thesis statement: Clearly state the main focus of your speech in a concise and compelling manner. It should clearly explain what your speech is about and what your main argument or claim is.

4. Reason to listen: Provide your audience with a compelling reason why they should listen to your speech. Highlight the importance and relevance of the topic and explain how it affects their lives or society as a whole.

5. Ethos statement: Establish your credibility on the topic. Share your qualifications, experience, or expertise that make you a reliable source of information. This will help build trust and convince your audience that you are knowledgeable and trustworthy.

6. Main points with evidence: Present the main points of your speech, each supported by evidence from credible sources. Use facts, statistics, expert opinions, examples, case studies, or research findings to back up your claims. Make sure your information is up-to-date and accurate.

7. Reinforcement statement: Throughout your speech, reinforce your main points by restating them, emphasizing their significance, and connecting them to your thesis statement. This will help your audience stay focused and understand the key takeaways of your speech.

8. Closing statement: End your speech with a powerful closing statement that summarizes your main points and leaves a lasting impression on your audience. You can restate your thesis statement, provide a call to action, or leave them with a thought-provoking question or idea to ponder.

9. References: Include a list of at least five credible sources that you used to gather information for your speech. Use reputable books, scholarly articles, news sources, or government websites to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your information.

Remember to practice your speech multiple times to improve your delivery and timing. Good luck with your informative speech!
