Informative speech
Speech title: To understand dogs more through their behavior
Adaptation Plan
1. Speaking directly to the audience:
I will use personal pronouns and speak directly to my audience throughout the speech.
2. Building credibility:
I'll combine my personal experiences of keeping a dog with the information which I obtained from the veterinarian, the forum on the net, books and magazine.
3. Getting and maintaining interest:
Since dogs cannot talk, I will tell the audience how to understand dogs through their behavior. I'll start the speech with some rhetorical questions. Then, I'll make the audience know that although some of them don't have a dog, they still have some chances to touch dogs. Thus, the topic is related to all the audience in some degree.
4. Facilitating understanding:
I'll demonstrate body languages of dogs by using the stuffed toy so that the audience can understand what I'm talking about. In addition, I'll also use power point, some pictures to make my speech clearer.
5. Increasing retention:
I'll explain body languages of dogs vividly by using the stuffed toy instead of pictures. Usually, the audience will remember vivid visual aid than the rigid one. Also, I'll still use some cute pictures to help the audience remember my speech.
