Outlining an Introduction Speech

Objective

Prepare an introduction speech Outline. (Please read all directions thoroughly and email me if you are unclear.)

Assignment Overview

In this assignment, you will explore the process used to prepare a basic speech. You will select a potential speech topic and outline your topic selection.

Deliverables

A one-page (250-word) outline – See suggested format shown below.

Step 1 Review the information involved in planning a speech.

The main steps involved in preparing any type of speech include the following and should always remember the Preacher’s Axiom that is this: First, you tell them what you are going to tell them, then you tell them, and then you tell them what you told them.  You do this by these steps:

• Choose the Right Topic
• Narrow Your Topic
• Locate Supporting Material
• Structure Your Speech
• Prepare an Outline
• Practice
• Deliver Your Speech

Step 2 Prepare an introduction speech.

In a one-page (250-word) outline, you are not writing your speech, just the outline, consider the following as you prepare your speech:

• Brainstorm what your fellow classmates might find interesting about you for this introduction speech. Consider family history, stories about your childhood, significant life events, or your accomplishments.
• Narrow your ideas down to a specific topic, theme, or anecdote. List the specific topic or title for your speech.
• When locating supporting materials for your introduction speech, think about any visual aids that may support your delivery.
• Remember to think about how you will open and close your introduction speech. Include those notes in your outline.

Step 3 Save and submit your assignment.

When you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place and submit a copy to your instructor using the dropbox.

Here is a general method of outlining your speech that I urge you to use:

                                          Outline Format

Hook – this is the opening statement to your speech. It should be a statement that arouses interest and makes your reader/audience want to read or hear more. You pique their interest and they want to know more!

Thesis Statement (TS) – this is the main focus of your speech and I suggest it always be explicit. You want to first tell the audience what you are going to tell them and this is done in the TS. Make it explicit by listing the three points of your speech, not just by stating something like this: There are three reasons why cars are necessary, but rather like this: The three reasons cars are necessary are they are used to get people from point A to point B, they are used in emergencies, and they are useful for family transportation. See the difference between explicit and implied? Making your TS explicit is the best way to inform your audience in beginning speeches.

Support – These are the words in at least three body paragraphs that follow your TS in order of what you have listed for the three points. Use one paragraph to write about each point. Please have at least five sentences per paragraph since that can help ensure that you have enough support for that point. 

Conclusion – In the conclusion, you will want to restate your TS but not in the exact same words you used in the introduction paragraph. Just use slightly different wording to say the same thing without boring your readers/audience with the same words from the introduction. Then you will want to end your conclusion with the last statement that will leave the audience with a warm and fuzzy feeling that appeals somehow to the emotions. We suggest this technique because it is known that folks remember the first and last of speeches, most times, and you should always want to make your speech memorable, so end with a memorable statement.

4-The four part of Christian Biblical Narrative are:
Creation- God created the Earth and everything on it intentionally. Nothing was created by accident.

Fall – Gods perfect order was broken. Sin, suffering, and death was introduced into the world.

Redemption- Jesus Christ died so that we can be forgiven and given the chance for salvation and a proper relationship with God.

Restoration- The ultimate goal of restoration of all creation. Has not yet occurred.

These ideas can provide comfort in times of sickness and disease. Disease and sickness did not occur until sin was introduced into the world. Often times, people lose faith in God when they are suffering and wonder why God put them in this position. It is during these times that our faith is tested. Healing occurs when faith is restored. The fact that God is present at all times and has plans for restoration of human kind should provide comfort.

5-In order to build a biblical-theological framework for understanding God’s mission, the church’s mission, and the church’s mission to the nations, one must first understand the unified biblical narrative, including its four major plot movements creation, The fall, redemption, and restoration. It is with this in mind that the contributors to Theology and Practice of Mission address some of the most compelling, practical, and crucial issues facing the global church today, issues such as justice, discipleship, community, and unreached people groups (Grand Canyon University, 2015).In the final days the story will not end with redemption. God has promised to renew the whole world, and the Bible gives us a peak into this glorious future. The restoration of all things will take place in two ways. Christ will return to judge sin and evil, and He will usher in righteousness and peace. God will purge this world of evil once and for all.

6-According to author Bruce Ashford’s “Theology and Practice of Mission” everything in the universe and was created according to God’s plan .”In order to build a biblical-theological framework for understanding God’s mission, the church’s mission, and the church’s mission to the nations, one must first understand the unified biblical narrative, including its four major plot movements–creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.”

There are 4 main themes that interconnect the history of the Judeo-Christian worldview. The first is creation. In the beginning, God created time and the universe by His power, turning nothing into something (ex-nihilo). He created the stars, galaxies, fish, cucumbers, trees, giraffes, and his greatest work of all, humankind. God placed the man Adam and his wife Eve in the Garden of Eden, a perfect environment, and gave them the responsibility to tend the garden and take care of the animals.

The Temptation or the Fall of man. This is the struggle between good and evil in all kinds hearts and it has its origins in the garden of Eden and the Snake (Lucifer) and the apple of temptation of Eve’s biting of the apple.

The redemption in the Old Testament is the story of God’s plan to bring redemption of man. The sacrificial system, the spotless lamb, the savior of the world, the one who would die for his own people’s sins.

The final theme is restoration. It is when Christ will return and make all things right. At the moment of his death, there was a great earthquake. Jesus’ body was taken from the cross, laid in a nearby tomb, and on the third day, Jesus’ tomb was discovered empty. Only to be restored to eternal life.
