Your professor and fellow students would like to know something about you. In order to introduce yourself, you will be crafting your best attempt at a well-structured introductory speech outline.

With all speeches, there is the macrostructure and there is the microstructure:

• An introduction with main point
• A body with supporting points
• A conclusion to solidify the main point.

For this exercise, you will craft an outline for an introductory speech. Your introductory speech should have a clear introduction, body and conclusion. The speech should have two or three main points supported with examples or explanations/descriptions. In other words, focus on two or three areas of your life that you would like to share with us (e.g., family life, travel adventures, educational pursuit, a hobby or activity you enjoy, etc.). The format is as follows:

I.                         Introduction

A.       Start with something catchy (e.g., interesting fact about yourself; favorite Scripture; poem; relevant quote).

B.       End with a thesis (e.g., Today, I’d like to share a little bit about my life; specifically, I’d like to introduce you to my family and share why my life goal is to share Christ in a third-world country).

II.                      Body

A.       State one main point about yourself (e.g., I am passionate about the outdoors; I enjoy traveling; My family keeps me really busy) and provide example(s) and/or explanation(s)/descriptions to support your point.

B.     State a second main point (e.g., My dream job is to be a counselor; I started a nonprofit to help the homeless in the Los Angeles area; :I am passionate about classical music) and provide example(s) and/or explanation(s)/descriptions to support your point.

C. Feel free to add a third point if you’d like to do so.

III.                   Conclusion

A.       Summarize main points (e.g., Today, I introduced you to my family and shared about my life goal of someday being a missionary in a third world country).

B.       End with something memorable (e.g., share another interesting fact; repeat your favorite Scripture; poem; relevant quote).
