There are two sections of your speech which have yet to be completed-- the Introduction and Conclusion. After having read the text and viewed the video in this unit, you now ought to be prepared to complete them. Please don't rush through these two sections though. Introductions and Conclusions are essential components. They could "make" or "break" your whole speech. As mentioned earlier, the Theory of Primacy and Recency says audiences remember opening sections and closing remarks more than most other aspects of a presentation. So make sure you incorporate all that is necessary to entice your audience to listen, engage them with meaningful and credible material, and then clearly wrap it all up with an enduring message or call to action.

After formulating and adding your introduction and conclusion to your outline, copy it to the "Final Outline" attached here and upload it to the Assignment Link.

Your next step will be to break the outline down to note cards, nd practice, practice, practice!
