Yes, Cristel?

Very good, ! In addition to that, Rhetorical

questions help to make the speaker’s
point clearer and more emphasized by
asking questions, but no answer is
expected from the audience.

How about you give me the benefits of

using Rhetorical questions, ?

Astonishing, ! How about, Roselle?

Marvelous!

Great job, people of the world! It’s very

evident that you understood our previous
topic.

Let us now move forward and go to our

next discussion. Are you ready?

Okay. Let’s start.

B. Lesson Proper

1) Motivational Activity
As we begin today’s discussion, allow me
to help you awaken and exercise your
brain cells.
We will first have a short game which is
the “ Find Someone Who… A HUMAN
BINGO Are you excited?
“We are very excited, ma’am!”
I’m glad to hear that. Let’s begin!

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
I will be given customize bingo cards
with a 4x5 grid, each square containing a
statement about yourself and your
classmates.

2. Game Explanation:
I will introduce the game, explaining
that students will talk and ask each other
questions to find their classmate who
match the statements on their cards.
When they find a match, they write that
person’s name in the corresponding
square.

3. Time Limit:
I will going to set a time limit ( 5
minutes) for students to interact and fill
their cards.

4. Winning:
The first student to complete a row,
column, calls out “Bingo!” and I will give
a small prize.

After the game, I will call a one student

to share interesting insights or tips they
learned from their conversations
Let us begin by sharing your thoughts
and the things you have found. Who
would like to volunteer? Yes, Jacobe

Fantastic! How about, Mark?

Great!

What have you observed in the short

game/activity we just played? Yes,
Rachelle?

That’s true. Thank you. How about you,

Roselle?

Great observation, . I hope that everyone

had fun and was able to activate your
ability to ask, and speaking skills.

Our activity earlier is connected to the

topic that we will discuss today. We will
talk about

The Deliver a Prepared or Impromptu on

an Issue Employing the Techniques in
Public Speaking.

Just a quick reminder that if you wish to

answer, you may raised you hand. Also,
you may take notes during the
discussion. Is everything clear?

Let’s begin.

2) Analysis

Before we begin, I would like to ask you

something. Are you one of the students
who is very afraid of talking to a large
group of people? Is your voice shaking
due to nervousness? Or do you have a
fear of forgetting your lines and even
doubting yourself? If yes, this is the time
for you to overcome your fears, enhance,
and practice your speaking skills.

As we begin, what do you know about

Public Speaking? Yes, Mikaela?

You got it right!

3) Abstraction

In addition to that,
Public Speaking is important in both
business, education, and the public
arena.

Basically, it’s a presentation that is given

live in front of an audience. Public
speaking can cover a wide variety of
different topics. The goal is to educate,
entertain, or influence the listeners. Often,
visual aids in the form of an electronic
slideshow are used to supplement the
speech and make it more interesting to
the listeners.

There are two (2) forms of Public

Speaking. The first one is a Prepared
speech, and the second one is an
Impromptu speech. Based on your
schema or prior knowledge, kindly
differentiate the two.

Yes, Jerome?

You got it right, Jerome.

Prepared Speech, the speaker is given a

chance to prepare the topic in advance,
has had time to do background research
on it, and has practiced delivering the
speech. On the other hand,

Impromptu speech is when you’re asked

to speak in public without prior notice.
You can be given a little or no time to
prepare.

To check if you understood the

differences between the two, you have to
determine whether the given situation is a
Prepared or Impromptu speech. Ready?

1. You were invited to speak

before a commencement
ceremony. (P)

2. You were asked to speak in

a surprise interview. (I)

3. You were asked to share

your knowledge about a
topic on-the-spot.(I)

4. A youth group requested

you to serve as a resource
speaker. (P)

5. While attending a meeting,

you were unexpectedly
asked to share your
experiences at your job. (I)

Now that you understand what Public

Speaking, Speaking, Prepared and
Impromptu speeches are, let us talk
about what makes a great public speaker.

13 Effective Public Speaking Techniques

1. Care About Your Topic

Passion goes a long way when it comes
to being an effective speaker. The
audience can tell if you’re apathetic. If
you don’t care, they won’t care either.
Even worse, you can come across as a
fake. They’ll listen more closely to
Discover why your subject is so important
to you. And they’re more likely to forgive
any minor mistakes you might make.
Can you please read the number two
technique, Jerome?

Thank you.

2. Remember Your Speaking

Goal
We’ve all probably listened to at least one
speaker who seemed to go on and on
forever about nothing in particular. One
reason why this happens is because the
speech isn’t focused enough. The
speaker is trying to cover too much and
ends up boring their listeners. Make it a
point to stick to this goal during your
presentation. Don’t get sidetracked or off-
topic.

3. Support Your Main Points

Every point you make in your speech
needs to be supported with either an
example, an illustration, or facts. When
you’re supporting a point, it’s best to be
as specific as you can.

Why do we need to support our main

points?
Yes, Bridget?
Exactly! Thank you

4. Use Presentation Tools

Wisely
Slide presentations often get a reputation
for being dull, but that’s because many
speakers are unaware of what their
presentation tools can do and don’t make
the best use of all the features. And
these features are just the tip of the
iceberg. To really elevate your public
speaking techniques, you’ll want to learn
everything your presentation software tool
can do.

5. Use a Professional
Template
While we’re talking about presentation
tools, let’s also talk about presentation
design. Your presentation design affects
how your audience perceives you. Even if
you’ve memorized your speech, give it
perfectly, and have the most amazing
topic—your audience might still judge you
negatively if your presentation design is
sloppy and unprofessional.
6. Practice Your Speech
One of the most important public
speaking techniques is often one of the
most overlooked-practice. The old saying,
“practice makes perfect,” really is true
when it comes to developing effective
speaking skills. The more you practice
your speech, the more familiar it will be to
you and the more comfortable you’ll be
giving it. Plus, practicing your speech is
the only way to discover how long the
speech will take and where you need to
pause.

7. Relax!
It’s normal to be nervous about public
speaking. I’m not telling you this to make
you more anxious, but rather to let you
know that having some anxiety before
giving a speech is perfectly normal. Still,
you should try to relax if you can. You’ll
be more comfortable, and the audience
will relate to you better too.

What will happen to us if we do not relax?

Yes, Cristel.
Exactly! This will be happened to us.
Thank you.

8. Pace Yourself
When it comes to public speaking, a
common newbie error is to speak too
quickly. This is usually caused by a
combination of nerves and not realizing
how fast you’re actually speaking.
Effective public speakers know to pace
themselves. They’ll speak at a natural
pace and work short, natural pauses into
their speech.
9. Add Visual Aids
Visual aids can serve as a powerful
illustration of your speech. So, if you can
make your point by showing it to your
listeners rather than describing it, they
are more likely to remember it. Be careful
though. To be effective, your visual aid
must be of high-quality and easily visible
to all members of your audience. Avoid
incorporating sloppy graphics into a slide
presentation.
10. Dress Comfortably, But
Professionally
What’s the right outfit to wear if you want
to be an effective public speaker?
Well, there’s no one answer. How you
dress depends on who your listeners will
be. But the general principle is that you
want to dress professionally to make a
good impression. Make sure to observe
good grooming and hygiene rules too.

11. Avoid Awkward Fillers

“Um,” “uh,” “like.” We all slip these filler
words into our conversations without
even realizing it. But overuse of these
words during a professional speech can
make you sound less than confident. If
you can, break the habit of using these
words to become a better public speaker.
This is where a speech coach, teacher, or
friend would come in handy. They could
listen for these words and help you break
the habit of using them.

12. Use Gestures (But Don’t

Overdo)
Natural movement during a speech is a
sign of an effective public speaker. Hand
gestures and even taking a few steps
across the stage can be good public
speaking techniques as long as they’re
natural, purposeful, and not overdone.
Movement can make you appear more
comfortable and help your audience
relate to you.

13. Allow a Q & A

Question and answer sessions (Q & A)
are one of the most underused public
speaking techniques. You can prepare for
a Q & A session by creating your own list
of questions and possible objections that
audience members may have (with
answers).

You can use the list above as a checklist

of good public speaking techniques to
work on, or just tackle those specific
speaking skills that you’re struggling with.
Either way, with a little effort on your part
you’ll be on your way to becoming a more
effective speaker.

Finally, we are done with the discussion

on the Techniques in Public Speaking.

Do you have any questions or

clarifications?

Does that mean you clearly understand

the lesson?

Great! Let me check your understanding

of the discussion.

Can somebody tell me what Public

Speaking is? Yes, Roselle.

Marvelous!
How about the difference of Prepared
and Impromptu Speech? Yes, Jacobe?

Correct! Who can give me the techniques

in Public speaking? Yes, .
Great job, class! I can see that you are
now ready to take on the activity I have
prepared for you.
