i'm not sure who the audience would be for my speech.
since my pet peeve is my little sister, i guess the audience should be kids htat are my age so they can relate to it
so, teenagers
Topic: pet peeve; my little sister
or does it have to be more specific?
general purpose: i guess it could either be inform or entertain. it depends on how i write it
specific purpse: I want to inform (or entertain) an audience of teenagers about how my little sister is my biggest pet peeve.
ok?
method of organization: chronological. maybe i could explain how my day goes with her, so then chronological would be the best way to go.
body points; not sure yet
if somebody can check this for me, then i think i better get started on some brainstroming for my body points.
IT might be parents also, depending what the peave is. I would be much more specfic about the peave: non respect for privacy, etc.
To fill out the organizational sheet for your pet peeve speech, follow these steps:
1. Audience: Determine who your audience will be. Think about who your message is intended for and tailor your delivery towards them. For example, if your pet peeve is about loud chewing, your audience could be people who eat in public spaces.
2. Topic: Clearly state your pet peeve. Be specific and concise. For instance, if your pet peeve is people not cleaning up after their pets, write that down.
3. General Purpose: Indicate the general purpose of your speech. Are you planning to inform, persuade, entertain, or inspire? In this case, you may want to inform your audience about your pet peeve.
4. Specific Purpose: Write your specific purpose statement that completes the following sentence: "I want to ____________ an audience of _______________." Fill in the blank with what you want to accomplish and specify the audience. For example, "I want to educate an audience of pet owners about the importance of cleaning up after their pets."
5. Thesis Statement: Develop your thesis statement. This statement should clearly state the main point you want to make and provide a preview of what will be discussed in your speech. For instance, "Properly cleaning up after our pets is essential for maintaining a clean and safe environment in our community."
6. Organization: Choose an appropriate method of organization: chronological, spatial, or topical. Decide how you want to present your main points. For example, if your pet peeve is about people interrupting others, a topical order might be suitable to discuss different situations where interruptions occur.
7. Body Points: List your body points. Depending on your pet peeve, you'll have 2 to 4 points to develop in the body of your speech. Each point should support your thesis statement and contribute to the overall message. For example, if your pet peeve is people texting while driving, your body points could be:
a) Distracted driving and its dangers
b) The impact of texting while driving on reaction time
c) Legal consequences and potential accidents caused by this behavior
That's it! With these steps, you can fill out the organizational sheet for your pet peeve speech. Remember to be clear, concise, and provide supporting evidence for your points.
