Develop a Thesis

Question 9 • 620628 Intro to Comm and Speech S2 - MOORE, NATALIE PAIGE

Gerald has just finished presenting the main points of his speech. Which of the following is the best way for him to conclude?

Answer
A
Say “Thank You”, gather his papers, and return to his seat.
B
Prance back to his seat giving high fives to his friends in the class on the way.
C
Restate his thesis and end with a memorable narrative or quotation.
D
Say “That concludes my speech” and take a bow.

Explanation

A strong conclusion reinforces the speech’s main idea and leaves the audience with something memorable. Gerald should restate his thesis, then finish with a relevant narrative or quotation. Simply saying “Thank You” or “That concludes my speech” does not provide as effective a sense of closure.
