Speech 3: Applied Presentation with PowerPoint & Question/Answer Session

11/1/16

Part 1
Applied Speech: Audience Assessment
Specific Goal: My audience will understand the importance we as youth have in helping
refugees around the world, starting in our own community, state, and country.
Application: This would be presented in real life to a class, a group service project, a refugee
foundation, or any community humanitarian organizations.
*Ethos: Primary Ethos: I have recently organized a service project to help provide food and
supplies for the Utah Refugee Center. Myself and other students in this service project have done
research and worked directly with both refugees and the Utah Refugee center/other efforts and
organizations aiming to help refugees worldwide.

*Secondary Ethos: I will cite the following 7 references out loud in my speech.
Utah Refugee Center
Utah Refugee Mental Health Subcommittee
The UN Refugee Agency
United Nations
US Department of State
Amnesty International
International Rescue Committee

Audience Assessment: The audience I am presenting to knows of the refugee and immigration
crisis. Recent news has covered the issues over allowing refugees into the US and other
countries, as well only a limited knowledge of struggles refugees themselves must deal with.
Because the refugee issue has received much media coverage, I am sure the audience generally
knows as much as the general public.
Adaptation to Audience: Using the PowerPoint, I will present statistical and factual based
information on the topic of refugees. I am starting with this type of information so that the
audience can get an idea of how much of a struggle refugees are going through and hopefully see
the need to help. Then I will present information on how to help and get involved with a
call-to-action approach. I hope to not only present knowledge of the issue, but also how it
applies to the youth and how our help can make a noticeable impact.
Pattern of Organization: I will be using a Problem-Solution pattern of organization.

Informative Speech: Keyword Outline
How the Youth Can Save the Refugees
Introduction
Hook: Robert Kennedy once said, This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life
but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage
over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
Thesis: The youth getting involved with community efforts, now, to help refugees can and will
create a tremendous impact for good.
*Preview:
1. The state/condition of refugees now
2. Organizations helping refugees already
3. How young people can help
Transition: These points will hopefully guide the youth to make more of an effort to help
refugees, beginning with knowing the problem surrounding refugees.

Body
1. The numbers and statistics surrounding refugees shows how much refugees are
struggling.
a. define refugees and their recent struggle
b. refugee numbers, stats. etc.
c. main concentrated locations of refugees
Transition: These organizations and committees all over the world aiming to help refugees find
greater opportunities to freedom and a better life in general. Although there are over 60 million,
there are many humanitarian efforts throughout the world fighting what refugees fight.
2. These organizations and committees all over the world are aiming to help refugees
find greater opportunities to freedom and a better life in general.
a. International Rescue Committee
b. United Nations Refugee Agency
c. Utah Refugee Center

Transition: The aid to help refugees ranges from international, national, and statewide
organizations, but must first start within closure ranges such as our communities, schools, and
own homes.
3. The youth can get involved by using social media to raise awareness, and by
donating and volunteering time and supplies to the work of helping refugees.
a. power of social media
b. donating supplies to centers
c. volunteering time and service in any form
Transition: There is so much work to be done for the problems in this world, but there is also so
many youth and young adults to get involved in such efforts.

Conclusion
We must first know of a problem before we can ever try to fix it. The principle of
knowledge being power is only true when knowledge is applied, and in this case it is the
knowledge that refugees are suffering everywhere. The knowledge that young people can help is
just as vital to get the help started. Youth have a powerful voiced when used in unity with
common goals and results for good. The refugees need us, and all we must do is educate
ourselves and then go out and serve.
