1. Focus on ONE major idea: Be passionate about that idea. Use questions to grab your listeners’ attention
2. Make your audience care: spark curiosity in the listener. Make them want to hear more. Appeal to their sense of pathos and ethos
3. Build on your idea: create your main points and develop them. FEW MAIN POINTS (1-3) but get into DEPTH AND DETAIL with those points.
4. Make your idea worth sharing: create/use good narratives (either real or fictional) to make your idea come to life. Don’t just share data that you found online. That will dim your speech
