March 15-21 Introduction and Conclusion

For introduction, it is very important to give a clear presentation when the introduction is being announced. This is because the introduction starts the speech and introduces the topic to the audience. Without the introduction, we won't be able to even start our speech. The introduction consists of the attention getter, purpose, thesis, and the three main points. All of these components are important and if one is missing, the introduction will fall. I think that the attention getter is important as well as the thesis. First the attention getter grabs the people's attention; without this, the speech won't be interesting. This is why most of the time attention getters are really interesting to listen to and it is unique. As for the thesis, it enforces the audience what the topic is about and leads to the main points.
In a conclusion, it is also important for one to reinforce this element after presenting the body of the speech. The conclusion ties everything together and reminds the audience what the topic is. The conclusion contains the revised main points, purpose, and closure. The main points are revised to tell the audience that that was what the speech was about in the body. For purpose, it also reminds the audience that what the topic is about. Last but not least, the closure wraps up and end the speech.
I remember how I presented my last presentation. I forgot to tell the main points in the introduction and when I remembered, it was too late because I was on my first main point already. As for conclusion, all of the components were enforced but not the purpose. This is why I think it is a good idea to have an outline of how the introduction and conclusion goes in my note card when I present so I can remember.
