Quarter 2-Week 6

At the end of the lesson, I would be able to:

EN10F 1ii-1-15- Make and deliver impromptu or extemporaneous speeches with ease
and confidence.

Concepts:

Two Types of Speeches

There are times when we are asked to get up and say a few words
about a topic we have no intention of speaking about. Has this ever
happened to you?

Which of these two have you delivered?

o Extemporaneous is applied to memorized speech given from

notes or an outline.

o Impromptu, derived from a Latin phrase meaning ‘in readiness’,

is applied to a speech given, a poem recited, or a song sung
without advance notice or warning

Here are some tips you can use the next time you are called to speak:

 Decide quickly what your one message will be.

 Do not try and memorize what you will say.
 Start off strong and with confidence.
 Decide on your transitions from one point to the other.
 Maintain eye contact with the audience.
 Occasionally throw in an off the cuff remark.
 Finally have a good conclusion.
