How to
Prepare a Demonstration Speech Outline
The outline is easy to prepare
since the body of the speech mainly contains the steps of the
process or activity you are demonstrating.
A demonstration speech outline
starts with an introduction that explains to the audience what
process will be demonstrated and includes any history or
background that is interesting or helpful to the audience.
For example, if you were to
demonstrate how to tie dye clothing, you might include some
history of tie dying and show some examples of the types of
clothing and accessories that can be tie dyed in the
introduction of your speech.
The body of a demonstration
speech outline can be divided into sections. If you are
demonstrating how to make a craft project, for example, you
might have a section on materials, then one containing all the
steps, and a final section on how to care for or display the
finished product. The sections would be the main points of your
speech.

As you can see, the conclusion
of a demonstration speech outline generally summarizes the
speech and encourages the audience members to try it for
themselves. If the demonstration was truly effective, the
audience should be inspired and feel empowered to give it a try.
