It is so important to have good organization when doing a speech. If it's not organized, how is it to be effective? As most of us know, a speech is comprised of an intro, body and conclusion. It may seem that one of these parts are more important than any of the others, but that is not true...they are all equally important, I think.
The introduction is what invites the audience to your train of thought, what opens them up to your speech. It is important to introduce one's main points at this part of the speech, as well as in the body. The body is the core of what one will present. How will the body be organized you may ask? By using an organization pattern. The choosing of an organization patter depends on the type of speech but they include the spatial, topical, narrative ad problem-solution, among others. Also, it is necessary to transition smoothly in the speech, mainly the body because this is heart to the speech. The conclusion is what you want the audience to remember the most, and what you want to leave your audience with is your main points (yes, again). The conclusion should summarize everything that was presented and highlight the main focus, the points. This will ensure an organized whole, a complete presentation.
I think organization is something more than what you need to have. Obviously if you want to make sense you need to have some order. However, if you take organization and use it as a tool, you could make your audience feel a particular way about a topic. You could also use different patterns to warm harder to reach audiences up, or build ideas on them in a particular way. If you think about a topic and you pick a form of organization, perhaps ask yourself if there is another one that I could pick. Also, how will this affect my audience.
