Helpful concepts

The concepts that I take away from Public Speaking that werehelpful in preparing speeches were the organizational patterns we learned of,engaging our audience, and watching ethical guidelines. The organizationalpatterns we learned of were the most helpful perhaps because they were the mainpart of speeches, at least for me. Using organizational patterns to prepare myspeech outlines helped me figure out the main points that I wanted to presentin my speech, along with the information I wanted to attach to those points.Organizing the speech in this manner also helped me process my thoughts to formmy speech and the flow of it from going from the introduction, to the mainpoints, and the conclusion. Learning ways to engage our audience and watchingethical speaking guidelines was also helpful because it made the speech morecredible, when I considered who I was speaking to and double checking facts aswell.
