Brainstorming/Snowflaking |
|
|
Brainstorming with yourself, or with a small group, is an
excellent way to develop a speech. When working with others, try
to include someone who has already done the project you want to
do. Using the snowflake method is a great way to get key ideas
don on paper and organize them quickly.
Draw a circle in the center of the paper, then put the main
objective of your speech, and later the title. Then branch off,
as shown, with 4-5 key main points. Now go back and put in a few
sub-points to support each main point. Lastly, number the main
points 1 - x, showing the order in which you want to present
them.
Now you have an 'outline' for a speech - next rehearse and
refine the speech. The following example shows how to approach
an Icebreaker. |
