Week 9, DIscussion 3

From chapter 13, I learned about the different types of organizational patterns for informational speeches. The topical pattern is the pattern that we have been using throughout the semester. When you create a topical outline, you divide the topic into sub points. You then address the aspects of the topic. This type of organizational pattern is best used when you want your audience to understand a process. From chapter 9, I learned how to create an effective introduction. In an introduction, you must include an attention getter, the purpose of your speech, thesis, establish credibility, and preview your main points. If you include all of these points, you will have a strong introduction that will grab your audiences attention and inform your audience of the topic you will be talking about.
