Adults spend…42% of their time listening

32% talking15% reading11% writing

Statistics

College students in the classroom spend…

53% of their time listening to professors and classmates.

Why?

Our ability to retain or remember what we hear is limited

Immediately after listening to a speech or teacher talk, we can only recall half of what was said

After several days, we only remember about 25% of what was said…if we are lucky

Most people will forget everything that was said (this is why you should take notes)

Concentration Span=Concentration Span=

A student’s age + one minute

So…So…

Instead of listening most of the time, you

will be taking an active role during this unit.

Parts of a Speech

Speech Suggestions from a Speech Suggestions from a ProfessionalProfessional

Put your notes on index cards and number them. Why?

If you feel more comfortable using paper, write your speech in a notebook so if you drop it everything doesn’t fall out.

Leave space between your headings. This helps you stay focused on the points in your speech.

Consider using a highlighter for key points.

Use only one side of the paper or card. Why?
