Organizing and Outlining Your Ideas

Question 5 • FHS - Introduction to Speech

Sarah has decided to write a speech about her favorite animals, dogs. The purpose of the speech will be to teach her audience how to train a dog. If Sarah preferred to choose a motivated-sequence organizational style, which topic should she choose for her speech?

Answer
A
the three styles of dog training
B
the importance of training your dog
C
the training of show dogs
D
the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Milan

Explanation

A motivated-sequence organizational style is designed to persuade an audience to take action: it establishes a need and encourages a solution. Since Sarah’s purpose is to teach people how to train a dog, the topic “the importance of training your dog” best connects the audience to why they should act. The other topics focus on describing training styles, show dogs, or a particular trainer rather than motivating the audience to train their dogs.
