Preparation In 3 Steps

These three steps for preparing extemporaneous speech topics will help you to do what
you have to do:

The First Step – Analyze what extemporaneous question you have to answer:

o Questions of fact – Characterized by is and are or will or would.

o Questions of value – Characterized by should.
o Questions of policy – Characterized by can and could. Often used for a
political discourse.

The Second Step – Determine if it is informative or persuasive. The

words what, which and who indicate that it is an informative issue. The
words should and why indicate that it is a persuasive issue.

The Third Step – Always stay with your subject. In other words: never change the ideas.
Now, organize your ideas and points effectively. You can use the outline technique
below. Focus on your subject and think about the various angles.
