PROTOTYPE/TEMPLATE – DELIVERY OUTLINE

General Purpose: Informative

Specific Purpose:  To (describe, explain, etc.) the complexity of Hearing.

  SCAN AUDIENCE– (your performance begins here)

      SALUTATION: GOOD EVENING!

1. INTRODUCTION (remain behind Lectern for the duration of Introduction)

1. (ATTENTION GETTER) 

The ability to hear can alert of danger!  

2.  (RELEVANCE STATEMENT) 

An important means of “reading” our “acoustic” physical environment

3. (PURPOSE STATEMENT)

My purpose is to (explain, describe, etc.) the complexity of Hearing

4. (QUALIFICATION STATEMENT)

I have (read, taken classes, etc.) about the hearing process for …

5. (PREVIEW STATEMENT) This Morning, Afternoon, Evening– (whichever is applicable) I will explain, describe, illustrate, -(whichever is applicable)  this important

Process to you by … 

                    First …

                           Second …                                

                           Third … 

                      TRANSITION/SIGNPOST 1: (move to right of the Lectern) Let us begin by…   

        II             BODY

            A.    Sound Reception begins with the Outer Ear. )

        Aural Specialist, Dr. Dean Tyler states that…

               1.    Sound is the vibration of air waves

 2.   The Outer Ear is a Receptive Funnel       (VISUAL)

                      3.    The role of the Tympanic Membrane

TRANSITION/SIGNPOST 2: (move to left of Lectern) Next, let’s examine…  

            B.  The Middle Ear performs a transference function.

        Dr. of Aural Surgery, Clare Pike describes the transference as…

         1. The Malleus or hammer is responsive to the TM.                 (VISUAL)

         2. The Incus or anvil is responsive to the malleus/hammer.       

         3. The Stapes or stirrup is responsive to the incus/anvil

TRANSITION/SIGNPOST 3: (move back to right of Lectern) Finally, 

100. The Inner Ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses.

            Prof. of Neuroscience, Ben Cain explains this conversion by…)       (VISUAL)

               1.    The Vesticular Canals act as organs of balance and…

               2.    The Cochlea converts sound vibrations into nerve impulses using…

(When Main Point 3 sub-points are completed pause and move behind Lectern)

III.         CONCLUSION    (Stand behind lectern 2-4 seconds, silently, then 

say….

1. (BRAKELIGHT) In conclusion (or in summation) I have attempted to (explain, describe, etc.) how the hearing process works. 

2. (REVIEW OF MAIN POINTS) I’ve done so by (explaining, describing, etc.)

                              FIRST …. the role of the Outer Ear 

 SECOND …the workings of the Middle Ear and finally 

 THIRD …the conversion and balance functions of the Inner Ear 

3. (PURPOSE RESTATEMENT) The ability to hear is a very important sensory mode not only because it is the initial stage of the listening process but because it also contributes to our coordination of movement 

4. (CLOSE WITH IMPACT) Please remember, the ability to hear is vital to our safety and performance of spatial coordination so if you take good care of your Ears and they will take good care of you! .

                                                                         (say) THANK YOU!
