DESCRIPTION: The demonstration speech is a 4-6 minute presentation in which you will demonstrate how to do something for the audience. A demonstration speech involves actually showing how something works or how something is done. You must do the process rather than talk about the process. The topic should be one that you know about and are interested in. The speech should be understandable, relevant, and interesting to your audience. Finally, the topic you choose should be narrow enough for you to cover within the time limits.
OBJECTIVES:
- TO ENCOURAGE THE EFFECTIVE USE OF SENSORY AIDS TO ENHANCE YOUR PRESENTATION
- TO ORGANIZE INFORMATION IN A WRITTEN OUTLINE FORM WHICH THE AUDIENCE CAN UNDERSTAND
- TO SHARE INFORMATION IN ORDER TO IMPART KNOWLEDGE TO THE AUDIENCE ABOUT A TOPIC OF YOUR CHOICE
- TO DECREASE APPREHENSION WHILE SPEAKING
CONTENT: Your coverage of the topic should be in-depth. Present concrete rather than abstract ideas. Feel free to cite sources to back up your ideas.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Turn in a typed outline of your speech which includes the following:
- Complete sentences
- Underlined transitions
- An introduction and conclusion written in paragraph form

They will be divided accordingly: 20 points for proper outline, 15 points for organization as presented within the speech, 30 points for meeting the purpose of the speech, 10 points for topic choice, and 25 points for your use of sensory aids.
