Chapter 10 talks about the 4 components required for an introduction. Create your introduction in full below, including each of the 4 components. This is just a draft and may change later as you develop the rest of your speech, but this will show your instructor you know what goes in the introduction and will be a great starting point for you. The 4 components of an introduction that yours should include are:

1. Gain the attention and interest of your audience.

2. Reveal your topic and motivate your audience to listen to your speech.

3. Clearly establish your credibility (tell your audience why and how you know about your subject – talk about personal experience, research, etc.)

4. Preview the main points of your speech (list them out here before you begin).
