A strong lead containing 5 W’s and H (Who, What, When, Where, Why and How)
Use of quotes
Reals facts (truth and accuracy matters)
A strong summary
Organization of the news (presenting information from most to least important)
Timing: if it happened today, it’s news, if it happened last week, it’s not; with
24-hour news access, “breaking” news is important
Significance: how many people are affected
Proximity: the closer a story hits to home, the more newsworthy it is
Prominence: when famous people are affected, the story matters (i.e. car
accident involving your family vs. a car accident involving the President)
Human Interest: because these stories are based on emotional appeal, they
are meant to be amusing or to generate empathy or other emotions. They often
appear in special sections of the newspaper or at the end of the newscast as a
“feel good” story or to draw attention to something particularly amusing, quirky,
or offbeat

What is a Speech?
- a formal address or discourse delivered to an audience.
Types of Speech:
INFORMATIVE SPEECH- Speech intended to inform and to share new ideas
and build perceptions. Give the importance of your topic to the audience. The
goal of this speech is to give the audience a new understanding or new
appreciation of some topic with which you might be familiar.
PERSUASIVE SPEECH-Speech written to convince the listener of the validity of
the speaker’s argument. This might involve convincing some to change the
audience opinion or at the very least consider some ideas that have not really
been considered before.
ARGUMENTATIVE SPEECH- speech that tries to change the reader’s mind by
convincing him or her to agree with your point of view. This attempts to be
highly persuasive and logical. It usually assumes that the reader disagrees with
the writer, but it should be noted that the reader is no less intelligent that the
writer. Hence, this speech should be written objectively, logically, and
respectfully.
PERSUASIVE SPEECH
Read the following essay and answer the questions after it.

problem, test, and stakes up to conclusion, the character in a myth displays and
exemplifies these positive attitudes. Remember the saying, “The best measure of a
man is not what he says he can do but what he does.” This is absolutely true.
Let us recall what happened between the Master and the thief in “Zen Parables.”
The thief who was then a man who followed a crooked path in life turned otherwise
because he learned from the Master what it takes to be a man. He was treated with
respect and trust by the Master, so he opted to follow the master’s path. Again, this
exemplifies the maxim, “Respect begets respect.”
He decided to be Shichiri’s disciple. He was inspired by Shichiri who lived a life of
truth and a life full of positivism. He had practiced it in dealing with other people
without discrimination. The Master was able to model what it takes to respect, trust,
and show love to other people. This is a positive attitude that we must put into action
whoever we are, wherever we are, and whenever necessary.
Doubtlessly, this will make our lives better. There is a strong possibility that this
can make this world a better place to live in after all. This is an opportune time for us
to practice it. Do not think otherwise, come on! So, what are we waiting for?
Let us give it a try!
Questions:
1. What three basic parts are clearly presented in the essay?
2. Does the essay try to influence you to accept an idea, or adopt a point of

and gives the background information needed for the argument and the
thesis statement.

about one reason. The reason is included in the topic sentence and is

examples, statistics, personal experiences, or quotations.

general statements that exactly summarize the arguments and support the
main premise.

10 Tips for Successful Public Speaking
Feeling some nervousness before giving a speech is natural and healthy. It
shows you care about doing well. But, too much nervousness can be detrimental.
Here's how you can control your nervousness and make effective, memorable
presentations.
1. Know the room. Be familiar with the place in which you will speak. Arrive
early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the podium and any visual
aids.
2. Know the audience. Greet some of the audience as they arrive. It's easier to
speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers.
- 25 -
3. Know your material. If you're not familiar with your material or are
uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. Practice your speech and revise
it if necessary.
4. Relax. Ease tension by doing simple stretching exercises.
5. Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking, your
voice loud, clear, and assured. When you visualize yourself as successful, you will be
successful.
6. Realize that people want you to succeed. Audience members want you to
be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining. They don't want you to fail.
7. Don't apologize. If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any
problems you think you have with your speech, you may be calling the
audience's attention to something they hadn't noticed.
8. Concentrate on the message – not the medium. Focus your attention away
from your own anxieties, and outwardly toward your message and your audience.
Your nervousness will be reduced.
9. Turn nervousness into positive energy. Harness your nervous energy and
transform it into vitality and enthusiasm.
10. Gain Experience. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to
effective speaking.
