First, people remember about 56% of how you look doing it, 38% of what you sound like and actually only about 7% of the content. Meaning, how you look and sound is much more important than the words you use. They forget most of that the minute you are done unless you're funny!
Here's a format to use:
- A one sentence subject statement
- A one or two sentence position statement that is your position on the subject
- 4-7 evidence points to support your position
- restate your position as a close
It's fairly easy to remember the nature of the evidence points. If that's the case, you can be more conversational.
i know this is late but good luck with the next one!
