1
00:00:01,270 --> 00:00:02,930
>> Before we go too much further, I
want to

2
00:00:02,930 --> 00:00:06,290
talk about two very important concepts,
outlining and flowing.

3
00:00:07,450 --> 00:00:09,440
And I want to talk about these, because I
think these are going to

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,250
be very useful in general for you as
you're delivering and developing speeches.

5
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:17,880
But also, we're going to be doing this a
lot in the impromptu specifically.

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,750
So, outlining, you're probably familiar
with.

7
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:21,690
You've probably been doing this a lot.

8
00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:25,530
It's just basically preparing a speech in
a hierarchical structure.

9
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:26,760
Now we're going to, when we get to

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,680
the persuasive, we'll actually do some
more manuscript stuff.

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,689
But to start with, for the impromptu
speech and the informative speech,

12
00:00:32,689 --> 00:00:36,180
we're working in an outline format, and
why are we doing this?

13
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:40,800
Because, I think outlines really set you
up to extemporize well.

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,969
So, last week of course we talked about

15
00:00:42,969 --> 00:00:45,335
why and how reading manuscripts can get
you

16
00:00:45,335 --> 00:00:47,569
into trouble in terms of adopting more of

17
00:00:47,569 --> 00:00:51,720
a performance orientation, maybe having
some mono tone issues.

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,960
But we're going to start of our study of
speech by working in

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,550
a format that really allows you to
carefully plan what you're going to say.

20
00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:03,680
An outline gives you that sort of, amount
of control.

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,970
So it, it's going to allow you to
carefully prepare what you want to

22
00:01:05,970 --> 00:01:11,620
say, but it also enables you to easily to
engage in a communication orientation.

23
00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:14,480
So what might one of these sample outlines
look like?

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,010
Well, for the impromptu, it's probably
going to look a little bit like this.

25
00:01:18,010 --> 00:01:20,020
Right, we've got a basic introduction.

26
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:22,740
I've got what, probably, my opening device
is going to

27
00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:26,010
be, what my thesis is, preview of my main
points.

28
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:27,890
I've got the body of the speech, my two
main points.

29
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:30,270
I've got sort of what the language is of
those

30
00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:32,490
main points, and we'll get to that later
this week.

31
00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:35,740
And then I've kind of mapped out what my,
what my examples are.

32
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:38,830
So I kind of know which way I'm running in
that speech.

33
00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:42,200
But, working off of an outline I can
extemporize it.

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,310
I can have those words, emerge at

35
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:49,170
that moment in response to the specific
situation.

36
00:01:49,170 --> 00:01:50,810
So, that's a basic outline.

37
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:54,120
Now that's probably something you're
fairly familiar with.

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,000
The other concept that I want to talk
through is flowing.

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,460
Flowing is just the flip side of
outlining.

40
00:02:00,460 --> 00:02:05,000
Flowing is taking notes on a speech in an
outline format.

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,960
So, why are we going to be flowing?

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,960
Well, flowing is very useful as an
evaluative and analytical tool.

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,370
Because it allows you as a listener to
track where the speaker is

44
00:02:15,370 --> 00:02:18,180
clear, where they're unclear, where the
argument

45
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:20,910
is strong, where the argument is weak.

46
00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:26,240
So we outline our speeches and we're
going to flow the speeches of others.

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,090
And I think both of these work together to
sort

48
00:02:28,090 --> 00:02:32,690
of, help you prepare speeches better and
analyze speeches more critically.

49
00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:36,200
And being aware of the various moving
parts in each speech.

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,690
So what we’re going to do now is we’re
going to watch a

51
00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:41,970
sample speaker, and you’ll see the, you
know, split screen here.

52
00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:44,520
And on one side is going to be the speaker
doing

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,010
a sample impromptu, a student that I had
who volunteered to

54
00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:51,370
help me out, doing a sample impromptu
speech; and then the

55
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:54,130
other hand, the other side will be, you’ll
see my flow.

56
00:02:54,130 --> 00:02:57,100
That’s my ugly hand and my terrible
handwriting.

57
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:59,100
So you’ll see kind of how I’m listening.

58
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:02,450
I hadn’t heard the speech before so I’m
just sort of on the fly.

59
00:03:02,450 --> 00:03:06,260
Taking notes in an outline format, I do
apologize for the handwriting,

60
00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:10,950
by the way, that's good for me so I've
made huge advancing, advancements.

61
00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:13,100
But it's just, it's awful, it's just
terrible.

62
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,590
But we're going to go ahead and take a
look at that now and then I'll come back

63
00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:17,180
and sort of talk a little bit more about

64
00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:19,080
how outlining and flowing can really help
you out.

65
00:03:20,670 --> 00:03:23,320
>> So, in these times of struggling
economies, many

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,370
universities are looking towards ways to
save money and one

67
00:03:27,370 --> 00:03:29,700
of these ways that universities are
looking to cut from

68
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:33,780
the budget is cutting small departments
with few student majors.

69
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:36,610
And I believe that we should not enact
this policy.

70
00:03:36,610 --> 00:03:37,920
For two main reasons.

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Firstly because it is harmful for students

72
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,210
and secondly because it doesn't guarantee
savings.

73
00:03:44,210 --> 00:03:47,800
But first let me go into the why this
[UNKNOWN] will be harmful for students.

74
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,750
Well, firstly it will hinder student
interest.

75
00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:53,310
If a student passion and future career
goal

76
00:03:53,310 --> 00:03:56,840
is dance, and the, and the department is
cut.

77
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,500
Well, that student can no longer pursue
their career option.

78
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:01,970
And so it is harmful for students who

79
00:04:01,970 --> 00:04:05,340
already know what they may want to be
pursuing.

80
00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:08,760
Which may be more unique fields of
opportunity.

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,770
The second reason why this policy'd be
harmful for

82
00:04:10,770 --> 00:04:14,960
students is because it does not cater to
post-university goals.

83
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,579
And what I mean by this is that
competitive markets,

84
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:21,310
such as graduate schools and jobs, are
looking for students.

85
00:04:21,310 --> 00:04:24,710
Who bring in unique backgrounds and one
great way of

86
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:29,310
doing so is having an out of the ordinary
educational upbringing.

87
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:31,200
Now if we eliminate these small
departments,

88
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,680
students are funneled into these larger,
more

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,650
popular educational backgrounds and
therefore do not

90
00:04:36,650 --> 00:04:40,390
look as appealing to schools and jobs.

91
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:45,300
And so because this policy would not cater
to student interests.

92
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:48,210
Nor to future student opportunities, we
can see

93
00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:52,070
that this policy simply wouldn't be
beneficial to enact.

94
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:56,440
But moving on to why this policy would not
guarantee monitoring savings.

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,450
I believe this firstly because we would
see a decrease intuition revenue.

96
00:05:02,450 --> 00:05:05,970
Students will be looking towards the small
departments and excited about these small

97
00:05:05,970 --> 00:05:08,450
majors would now be looking toward

98
00:05:08,450 --> 00:05:11,380
other schools to fulfill their educational
needs.

99
00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:14,310
And therefore, we may see decrease
enrollment

100
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:17,150
rates, and since student tuition is such a

101
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,870
huge part of university budgets today, we

102
00:05:19,870 --> 00:05:24,220
would see an incredible decrease in
university revenue.

103
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,290
So, secondly, universities would also have
to accommodate for larger departments.

104
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:32,970
These students that were originally in

105
00:05:32,970 --> 00:05:35,370
small departments and small majors would
be

106
00:05:35,370 --> 00:05:38,260
funneled into these existing departments
and

107
00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:42,440
therefore increase class sizes and majors
sizes.

108
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,400
And so as a result, universities would
have to hire more

109
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,280
professors, more teaching assistants and
more

110
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:52,040
faculty to accommodate these larger
departments.

111
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,960
And so, because of this, in this
increasing need in

112
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,222
the university budget, we wouldn't nece,
necessarily see monetary savings.

113
00:06:01,222 --> 00:06:08,100
And so, because, we would see a decrease
in tuition revenues and, an increased need

114
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:11,740
for accommodating larger departments, we
can see that

115
00:06:11,740 --> 00:06:15,610
enacting this policy would not necessarily
save money.

116
00:06:15,610 --> 00:06:21,430
And so in conclusion, universities need to
find a better way to save money.

117
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:23,560
Cutting these small departments and small
majors

118
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,800
simply isn't a beneficial option for
anyone.

119
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,160
Firstly because it is harmful for
students,

120
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,105
and secondly because it does not guarantee
savings.

121
00:06:33,105 --> 00:06:36,390
[INAUDIBLE]
>> So, that was my flow of the speech.

122
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:40,040
Again, apologies for the handwriting, but,
I would imagine your

123
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,500
flow of that speech looks more or less the
same.

124
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:46,630
So I would recommend that you start
flowing speeches in general.

125
00:06:46,630 --> 00:06:49,200
Because I really do believe it changes how

126
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,519
you listen to, and interact with, a
speech.

127
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,060
And it, it, the reason this is, I think is
because there's

128
00:06:57,060 --> 00:07:01,270
so many things going on in a speech,
outlining and flowing allow

129
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:06,010
you to see these various components and
analyze those various components in

130
00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:10,820
isolation as well as how those various
components interact with one another.

131
00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:13,340
So in the next lecture, we're going to
take up the key

132
00:07:13,340 --> 00:07:16,740
elements of argument that you're going to
be using in the impromptu speech.

133
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:18,920
But I did think it was important to sort
of talk

134
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,060
to both outlining and flowing at this
stage in the class.
