Order A speech that meets the requirement of order follows a consistent pattern of development from beginning to end. 1. It starts by introducing its subject and purpose, 2. continues by developing ideas in the body of the speech, and 3. ends by summarizing and reflecting on the meaning of what it has accomplished. To build an orderly speech, you should design the body of the speech first because that is where you will do the hard work of demonstrating, proving, and illustrating your message. Once you have organized the body, you can prepare an introduction and conclusion tailored to your purpose. Order also applies to the way you arrange your main points. If you propose a solution, you should first present the problem. Why—because this is how our minds work. We do not normally come up with solutions, then look for problems to fit them. An orderly arrangement is also important when you are presenting the steps in a process. Begin with the first step, then cover the rest in the order in which they occur. it
