For most speeches, there are three parts — introduction, body and conclusion.
However, different components should be present in each of these parts.
Here is a classic speech model. It basically mirrors an essay.
Introduction
Attention Getter
Transition
Introduction of Main Points (usually 3 to 5)
Thesis
Transition
Supporting Point 1
State the point
Support the point with research — cite sources of information as you go.
State an example
Transition
Supporting Point 2
Transition
Supporting Point 3
Transition
Conclusion
Summarize the speech
Reiterate the initial point and tell the audience what you think the information means to them.
This speech outline is not set in stone and can be adapted, but this style works well for many people.
