Module 2

T
he term sustainable development is such a broad term

that it has been given various interpretations by differ-
ent people. But no matter how varied these interpreta-
tions are, these notions about sustainable development mostly
revolve around human relationship towards nature as stewards
of the earth and acknowledge the limits of finite resources.
Along with this, also at the heart of sustainable development
concept is our relationship with our fellow citizens by safeguard-
ing the human rights of all.
In this module, you will be exposed to various sustainable
development issues while developing your public speaking skills.
It is hoped that as a global citizen, you can use these communi-
cation skills in addressing the pressing environmental and hu-
man rights issues.
At the end of the module, you are expected to present
ideas persuasively using appropriate language registers, tone,
facial expressions, and gestures utilizing oral audio-visual, and/
or web-based presentations for different target audiences in lo-
cal and global settings for sustainable development.

Task 1. Yield Connections! This time, let’s try to explore and build connec-
tions between the issue and different aspects including you as a global citizen.
Global citizenship involves exploring at least five connections (Oxfam, 2015):
C1. Our common humanity - the connections we have with all other human be-
ings in terms of our similarities and common needs.
C2. Our global interconnectedness - links we have to other people and places
through trade, technology, migration, political systems, our shared environment
and so on.
C3. Links between issues, for example , poverty and climate change.
C4. The parallels that many global issues have with matters in our environ-
ment, for example, sharing of resources, or conflict, in the classroom.
C5. Links between current and previous learning and learning in other subjects.

Now try to connect the issue on human rights to at least 3 of the global
citizenship connections by filling out the Connection Card below. Don’t leave C5
by connecting the issue to communication.

There are a lot of ways that you can help in safeguarding human rights.
Yes, you can! One of these is by using your communication skills. All it actually
takes is a good convincing power that will inform people and sway them into
action towards advancing basic human rights.
But standing in front of the public to persuade people about your stand
on a certain issue needs a lot of preparation. This is to ensure that your ulti-
mate purpose will be achieved.
The following concept cards will focus on discussing informative and per-
suasive speech. This will also give you some tips on writing these speeches.

Concept Card
 Informative Speech
This speech serves to provide interesting and useful information to
your audience. Some examples of informative speeches:
 A teacher telling students about global citizenship education

 A student talking about her research
 A guest discussing human rights
How to write an informative speech?
1. Choose a topic. You may have been given your subject. Alternative-
ly, you should choose a topic you’re interested in, to give the best cov-
erage of the subject.
2. Narrow down your topic. Don’t try and cover every aspect of a sub-
ject. Pick a subject niche will allow you to thoroughly cover your topic
in the time allotted.
3. Develop your thesis. For example, “I am going to explain how to

take apart a carburetor,” or “In this speech I’ll explain how to claim
your pet as a tax deduction” could be good theses.
4. Research your subject. If there’s one key to writing an informative

speech it’s: know your topic. If you’re writing about something you
know well you may not need much research.
5. Consider your audience. In general, unless you know otherwise, as-

sume your audience knows little about your topic. You may need to
give background information and be careful about what jargon you use
to explain your subject.
6. Outline your speech. List the information you wish to cover. Ar-
range it in a logical order. Decide what type of order best suits
the subject: step-by-step, chronological, etc.

7. Write the introduction. Your first words should grab the audience’s
attention, with an anecdote or citation relevant to your topic. Then pro-
ceed to your thesis statement. If it’s a long or complicated speech, pro-
vide your audience with an overview of where you are going.
8. Expand your outline to create the body of the speech. Include all the
key points from your outline.
9. Write your conclusion. A conclusion should summarize the main

points of the speech. Your ending should refer back to the
Introduction to make the presentation cohesive.
Some guidelines to keep in mind when writing the informative

speech:
1. Grab their attention – Give the audience a good reason to listen to

you.
2. Make sure the audience understands – Observe the audience as

you speak. Do they look like they are following or are their eyes glazed
over? It may be useful to insert breaks to ask if there are any ques-
tions.
3. Cover the basics – Who, when, what, why, where, how.
4. Emphasize the main ideas – Use basic speech-writing principles and

use strong transitions between key points.
5. Repeat the main ideas – People need to hear something three times
before they remember. State the main ideas in three different ways.
6. Be passionate about your topic – It’s easier to get people interested

and informed by your topic, if you’re excited about what you have to
say.

 Persuasive Speech
A persuasive speech works to convince people to change in some
way: they think, the way they do something, or to start doing some-
thing that they are not currently doing. Some examples of persuasive
speeches:
 Become an organ donor

 Improve your health through better eating
 Television violence is negatively influencing our children
 Become a volunteer and change the world
Writing a Persuasive Speech

To write a persuasive speech you need to:
1. Come up with a controversial topic, one that will spawn heated de-
bates regardless of your position.
2. Research the topic thoroughly. Know the pros and cons of the topic.
3. Understand the perspective of your audience. You should have a

stronghold on how the audience views the topic that you are writing
about so that you can better relate to them.
4. Grasp the obstacles that your audience face or have with the topic.
It is through understanding these obstacles that you can tackle them.
5. Present your strategy for eradicating the obstacles. You must know
how to diffuse the tension that surround the obstacles by having a plan
for complete eradication.
6. Pull it all together to make a proper conclusion. The conclusion is

what hooks your audience.

speech.html

Tips for Successful Persuasive Speeches
1. Keep your goal in mind.
You are trying to persuade the audience to do or believe something. Do
not fall into one (or both!) of the following traps:
 Do not merely inform us about something. Do not spend a lot of
time telling us the history of a particular dispute if it does not help
achieve your goal.
 Do not just complain about something. If it is that bad, then per-
suade us to do something about it.
2. Pay attention to who your audience is.

Do your audience analysis! Use the material and the format that is
most likely to persuade them.
3. Put emphasis on your audience.

Remember, your objective is not to get through your speech. Your ob-
jective is to persuade your audience. Therefore, you need to make
your audience feel as if you care about their opinions and their needs.
Talk to your audience, not at your audience. Give them lots of direct,
extended eye contact. Give the audience the impression that you are
their friend.
4. Build credibility in your introduction.

Building credibility early in your speech will establish your presence for
you all the way through your speech.
5. Use lots of examples.

They can help you in three ways.
 They serve as logos, logical appeal. They help prove your point.
Instead of saying “Hey, it could happen,” you are able to say “This is
a particular instance where this situation did occur.”
 Usually they serve as pathos, emotional appeal, as well. Examples
often have an emotional edge to them.
 They are much more interesting to listen to than strict opinion
or a long list of facts.
6. Practice, practice, practice!

ORGANIZE!
In the previous lesson, you learned how essential your communication

skills are to help in safeguarding human rights. You have already learned how
to write effective speeches in order to advance your cause.
But your speech alone is not yet enough. Writing an effective speech is
one feat, delivering your speech effectively is another. It takes a lot of attitude
to speak in public.
In this lesson, you will be learning how to speak in public. The following
concept cards will give you tips on effective speech delivery.
Concept Card
There are four different methods of speech delivery. This includes
manuscript reading, memorized speaking, extemporaneous speaking and
impromptu speaking.
 Manuscript Reading
Manuscript speaking is the word-for-word iteration of a written
message. In a manuscript speech, the speaker maintains his or her at-
tention on the printed page except when using visual aids.
The advantage to reading from a manuscript is the exact repetition
of original words. As we mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, in
some circumstances this can be extremely important. For example,
reading a statement about your organization’s legal responsibilities to
customers may require that the original words be exact. In reading one
word at a time, in order, the only errors would typically be mispronun-
ciation of a word or stumbling over complex sentence structure.

However, there are costs involved in manuscript speaking. First, it’s
typically an uninteresting way to present. Unless the speaker has re-
hearsed the reading as a complete performance animated with vocal
expression and gestures (as poets do in a poetry slam and actors do in
a reader’s theater), the presentation tends to be dull. Keeping one’s
eyes glued to the script precludes eye contact with the audience. For
this kind of “straight” manuscript speech to hold audience attention,
the audience must be already interested in the message before the de-
livery begins.
It is worth noting that professional speakers, actors, news report-
ers, and politicians often read from an autocue device, such as a Tele-
PrompTer, especially when appearing on television, where eye contact
with the camera is crucial. With practice, a speaker can achieve a con-
versational tone and give the impression of speaking extemporaneous-
ly while using an autocue device. However, success in this medium de-
pends on two factors: (1) the speaker is already an accomplished pub-
lic speaker who has learned to use a conversational tone while deliver-
ing a prepared script, and (2) the speech is written in a style that
sounds conversational.
 Memorized Speaking
Memorized speaking is the rote recitation of a written message that
the speaker has committed to memory. Actors, of course, recite from
memory whenever they perform from a script in a stage play, televi-
sion program, or movie scene. When it comes to speeches, memoriza-
tion can be useful when the message needs to be exact and the speak-
er doesn’t want to be confined by notes.
The advantage to memorization is that it enables the speaker to
maintain eye contact with the audience throughout the speech. Being
free of notes means that you can move freely around the stage and
use your hands to make gestures. If your speech uses visual aids, this
freedom is even more of an advantage. The advantage to
memorization is that it enables the speaker to maintain eye
contact with the audience throughout the speech.

Being free of notes means that you can move freely around the
stage and use your hands to make gestures. If your speech uses visual
aids, this freedom is even more of an advantage. However, there are
some real and potential costs. First, unless you also plan and memorize
every vocal cue (the subtle but meaningful variations in speech deliv-
ery, which can include the use of pitch, tone, volume, and pace), ges-
ture, and facial expression, your presentation will be flat and uninter-
esting, and even the most fascinating topic will suffer. You might end
up speaking in a monotone or a sing-song repetitive delivery pattern.
You might also present your speech in a rapid “machine-gun” style that
fails to emphasize the most important points. Second, if you lose your
place and start trying to ad lib, the contrast in your style of delivery will
alert your audience that something is wrong. More frighteningly, if you
go completely blank during the presentation, it will be extremely diffi-
cult to find your place and keep going.
 Extemporaneous Speaking
Extemporaneous speaking is the presentation of a carefully planned
and rehearsed speech, spoken in a conversational manner using brief
notes. By using notes rather than a full manuscript, the extemporane-
ous speaker can establish and maintain eye contact with the audience
and assess how well they are understanding the speech as it progress-
es. The opportunity to assess is also an opportunity to restate more
clearly any idea or concept that the audience seems to have trouble
grasping.
For instance, suppose you are speaking about workplace safety and
you use the term “sleep deprivation.” If you notice your audience’s eyes
glazing over, this might not be a result of their own sleep deprivation,
but rather an indication of their uncertainty about what you mean. If
this happens, you can add a short explanation; for example, “sleep dep-
rivation is sleep loss serious enough to threaten one’s cognition, hand-
to-eye coordination, judgment, and emotional health.” You might
also (or instead) provide a concrete example to illustrate the idea.
Then you can resume your message, having clarified an important
concept.

Speaking extemporaneously has some advantages. It promotes the like-
lihood that you, the speaker, will be perceived as knowledgeable and
credible. In addition, your audience is likely to pay better attention to
the message because it is engaging both verbally and nonverbally. The
disadvantage of extemporaneous speaking is that it requires a great
deal of preparation for both the verbal and the nonverbal components
of the speech. Adequate preparation cannot be achieved the day before
you’re scheduled to speak. Extemporaneous speaking is most commonly
used method of speaking.
 Impromptu Speaking
Impromptu speaking is the presentation of a short message without
advance preparation. Impromptu speeches often occur when someone
is asked to “say a few words” or give a toast on a special occasion. You
have probably done impromptu speaking many times in informal, con-
versational settings. Self-introductions in group settings are examples of
impromptu speaking: “Hi, my name is Steve, and I’m a volunteer with
the Homes for the Brave program.” Another example of impromptu
speaking occurs when you answer a question such as, “What did you
think of the documentary?”
The advantage of this kind of speaking is that it’s spontaneous and
responsive in an animated group context. The disadvantage is that the
speaker is given little or no time to contemplate the central theme of his
or her message. As a result, the message may be disorganized and diffi-
cult for listeners to follow.
Here is a step-by-step guide that may be useful if you are called
upon to give an impromptu speech in public.
 Take a moment to collect your thoughts and plan the main point
you want to make.
 Thank the person for inviting you to speak.
 Deliver your message, making your main point as briefly as
you can while still covering it adequately and at a pace your
listeners can follow.
 Thank the person again for the opportunity to speak.
 Stop talking.

As you can see, impromptu speeches are generally most successful
when they are brief and focus on a single point.

The previous two lessons of this module taught you how to communicate
effectively in public in order to advance your causes. For example, the problem
on water scarcity can be addressed through effective communication in con-
vincing people to conserve water.
In the 21st century, however, effective public speaking does not just en-
tail good speaking skills; but in order to hold the attention of your audience,
you need to couple your speech with an effective communication aid.
One of these communication aids that you can utilize is a multimedia
presentation. Study the concept cards that follow and learn how to prepare a
multimedia presentation.
Concept Card
 Multimedia Presentation
A multimedia presentation differs from a normal presentation in that it

contains some form of animation or media. Typically a multimedia
presentation contains at least one of the following elements:
 Video or movie clip

 Animation
 Sound (this could be a voice-over, background music or sound clips
 Navigation structure

 Guidelines in Multimedia Designs
Mayer's design principles
Mayer's research clearly demonstrated that under some conditions

learners learn better when they are able to hold corresponding visual
and verbal representations in working memory at the same time.
Therefore Mayer formulates do's and dont's for instructional designers:
1. Multimedia effect
“The multimedia effect refers to the finding that students learn more
deeply from a multimedia explanation presented in words and pictures
than in words alone” (Mayer, 2003).
Multimedia Design Principle: Add pictures to words
A message created with words and corresponding images is better
retained than a message created with words alone.
2. Contiguity effect
“The spatial contiguity effect is that students learn more deeply from
multimedia explanations when corresponding words and pictures are
presented near to rather than far from each other on the page or
screen.” (Mayer, 2003)
Continguity Design Principle: Place words near corresponding pic-
tures
Spatial continguity principle: Learning is improved when images and
corresponding words are spatially integrated. For example, legends
should be close to the corresponding picture elements.
Temporal continguity principle: Learning is improved when visual
and verbal elements are presented together.
3. Personalization
“The personalization effect is that students learn more deeply from a
multimedia explanation when the words are presented in conversation-
al style rather than formal style.” (Mayer, 2003)
Design principle: Use conversational style for words.

4. Coherence effect
“The coherence effect refers to the finding that students learn more
deeply from a multimedia explanation when extraneous material is ex-
cluded rather than included.” (Mayer, 2003)
Coherence Design Principle: Eliminate extraneous words and pic-
tures
Learning is better when words, images and sounds not directly use-
ful for comprehension are removed. Anecdotes, illustrations and ambi-
ent music are example of often unnecessary elements.
5. Modality
Students learn better when their visual/pictorial channel is not over-
loaded (i.e. when they must process words and graphics simultaneous-
ly at rapid pace).
Modality design principle: Present Words as speech rather than on-
screen text
Animated pictures presented with an audio commentary are better
understood than accompanied with on screen text.
6. Redundancy
Redundancy design principle: Presenting words in both text and audio
narration can hurt learning
Learning is better when presenting an animation with an audio com-
mentary than an animation, its commentary and the corresponding
text.

One of these modern platforms for public speaking is through vlogs
which has been used by many to advance their causes. There’s also another
platform called TED Talks where one can present new and exciting ideas about
anything under the sun.
Now, read the concept cards below and discover how to make an effec-

Concept Card
 Vlogging
Vlog is a shortened version of the word video blog or video log. A
vlog is essentially a blog that includes or consists of video footage.
Vlogging refers to the process of creating a vlog, usually filming.
Unlike the mainstream media, such as television or commercial
websites, vloggers (usually) don’t create vlogs for the sole purpose of
making money. As a result, vlogging gives ordinary people the ability to
share their opinion on any topic they want and produce content about
anything they want.
A vlog can be a video documenting a person’s life but can also be
about a certain topic such as a certain hobby and can be both instruc-
tional and entertaining. The main goal of a vlog is to communicate with
a wide audience on a personal level.

 10 Steps to Start a Vlog and Become a Youtube Vlogger
1. Preparation
Look at your favorite vloggers. Watch a few of their vlogs multiple
times and analyze the details. Do they use an intro and what does it
look like? What type of vlogging music do they use? What do they rec-
ord and how do they edit it? How long are the videos? Write down the
things you like and dislike about each vloggers’ videos so you know
what to do (or avoid) in your own vlogs. Remember, getting inspired is
fine but don’t blatantly copy other vloggers. Create your own vlogging
style!
2. Create a Youtube channel

If you don’t have a Youtube channel yet, go ahead and create one.
It’s completely free and only takes a few minutes.
3. Get the right equipment

Getting the right equipment will help you make high quality videos.
You don’t need to spend thousand of dollars on expensive camera
equipment but having a good camera is a must. If you have budget,
try buying microphone, tripod or other equipment to improve lighting.
4. Prepare your video

Now that you are all set for recording your (first) vlog you need to
think about what you want to do in your vlogs in more detail.
What are you going to do in your vlogs and what are you going to
say? If you find it difficult to come up with video ideas. Look at other
vloggers and draw inspiration from their vlogs.
If you are completely stuck, use our list vlogging ideas or YouTube
Video Ideas. Once you know a video topic, you can make preparations
for the video like writing a script. Be careful you don’t read straight
from the script if you have one. If it feels like you are directly reading of
a script in your vlogs, they will be monotonous and boring.
It’s better to write down some topics you want to talk about
and some important keywords. This way, you’ll have a back-up in
case you black-out without being tempted to read off the script.

5. Film your vlog
Some tips for recording your first vlog:
Don’t overthink it, relax: Don’t plan it out too much. Just start re-
cording and say whatever is on your mind. Being spontaneous is a
good thing for vlogging.
Good lighting and Audio quality: Make sure to speak clearly and
don’t leave any long silences in your vlog. Try to record the video in
day light or with indoor lights for better image quality.
Interact with your audience: vlogging is great because you can con-
nect on a more personal level. Engage with your viewers, ask their
opinion and be sure to respond to comments on your vlogs.
Sign off with a unique personal phrase: this helps you personalize
your videos and a lot of successful vloggers have their own unique
phrase they use to end the vlog.
Make Your Vlog Interesting: People watch vlogs for their own en-
tertainment so it’s very important that your vlogs are interesting. It’s
difficult to define what makes a vlog interesting but here are some
general pointers:
 Be original: if your vlogs are the same as thousands of other vlog-
gers it will be difficult to attract a lot of viewers
 Be interesting: Always make sure you are energetic/enthusiastic in
your vlogs, smile a lot and tell interesting things. If you are looking
bored or sad, people won’t like to watch your vlogs.
 Do interesting things: If you sit on the couch all day your vlogs
won’t be interesting. Go out to cool, interesting or scary locations.
Be Yourself: Even though you should always try to be as interest-
ing, unique and entertaining as possible, you should always be your-
self! Just relax, put on a smile, be enthusiastic and let your own per-
sonality shine through in your vlogs.
6. Edit your vlog
When you have recorded enough footage to make a vlog. It’s time
to edit your raw footage into a finished video ready to be uploaded
on YouTube.

When you are editing your vlogs you can pick out the most interest-
ing parts and edit them together. You can also add an intro or outro to
your video if you have one.
In general, your vlogs should be at least 5 minutes and not exceed
20 minutes.
7. Upload your vlog to Youtube

Now your vlogs is recorded, edited and ready to be uploaded to
YouTube, it’s time to get the vlog online! Log into your YouTube channel
and click the upload icon located on the right of the search bar or go di-
rectly to youtube.com/upload.
8. Promote your videos

Share Your Vlog on Social Media. The easiest way to promote your
new vlog is by promoting it on your own social media. Share the link on
your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other social media websites
you use.
Build an Audience. Try building an audience that regularly watch
your videos and leave a like and/or comment. This helps build your repu-
tation on YouTube so your vlogs will be ranked higher and appear in the
‘recommended videos’ section of YouTube users.
Collaborate With Other Vloggers. You can also collaborate with oth-
er vloggers to cross promote each other but this only works after you
have your own following.
9. Keep going!
Your vlog will probably not have thousands of views at first but
don’t let that stop you. Set a schedule for how often you want to upload
new vlogs and stick with that schedule no matter what.
Keep networking with other youtubers, bloggers and people on so-
cial media and maybe do some collaborations with others. That way your
youtube channel will grow a lot faster.
Don’t give up! Every vlogger that now has millions of subscriber
has at one point started from zero too! Keep getting better at
vlogging and editing, keep uploading and keep promoting.

10. Monetize
Once your subscriber base grows and you start getting more views
it’s time to make some money off of your vlogs. Apply to the Youtube
Partnership Program so you can start earning money from ads shown
before or during your videos.

 TED Talks
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to spreading ideas, usually
in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in
1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design
converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to busi-
ness to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, inde-
pendently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the
world.
TED Conferences LLC (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is an
American media organization that posts talks online for free distribu-
tion under the slogan "ideas worth spreading".
Qualities of a Successful TED Talks

In TE D’s secret to great public speaking (an eight-mi nute
video that’s worth watching), Anderson offers three gui de-
lines for creating your TED tal k:
 Focus on one major idea
Ideas are complex things; you need to slash back your con-
tent so that you can focus on the single idea you’re most passionate
about, and give yourself a chance to explain that one thing proper-
ly… Everything you say [should link] back to it in some way.
 Give people a reason to care
Stir your audience’s curiosity. Use intriguing, provocative
questions to identify why something doesn’t make sense and
needs explaining. If you can reveal a disconnection in someone’s
worldview, they’ll feel the need to bridge that knowledge gap.

Build your idea with familiar concepts
Build your idea, piece by piece, out of concepts that your audience
already understands… A vivid explanation… delivers a satisfying ah-
hah! moment as it snaps into place in our minds.
8-Step Process for Creating Your TED Talk

1. Find an idea you want to share.
2. Develop an unexpected and/or catchy way to state your idea.
3. Collect anything and everything that relates to your idea.
4. Start imagining how you might open and end your talk.
5. Put the rest of your materials in a reasonable order.
6. Talk your way to a rough draft of your script.
7. Try out your TED Talk draft on a volunteer listener.
8. Revise and improve your draft; then, practice again.
