Show Us the Money!Demonstration Speech

You will present a demonstration speech to the class.Requirements:

1. Time: 4-6 minutes.2. You will SHOW us how to DO something. In

orderto show us, you will need to bring in any props orvisual aids. You will need to write an introduction,outline the steps of how to do whatever it is you are teaching us, and write a

conclusion.3. Since you need to WRITE a good speech and then PRESENT a good speech,

PREPARATION and PRACTICE are the main things to focus on.

A speech to demonstrate shows and tells us the information. Demonstrationspeeches are quite common. Many television shows include demonstrations.Cooking, craft, gardening, home repair, and building shows usually includedemonstrations.

Most demonstrations present the steps in aprocess. The steps show a sequence of events inorder of how you do them. First you do this, second you do that, etc.

Demonstration speeches are often effective because ofreinforcement. The audiencehears the words, and the words

are reinforced by what they see.

Demonstration speeches are often the most fun of any type of speech. They can befun to do and fun to watch. Many speakers also believe that demonstration speechesare easier. First, the audience usually has its attention focused on the visual aidsrather than on the speaker. As a result, the speaker feels more comfortable. Also,the visual aids help remind the speaker what comes next in the speech.

All demonstrations use visual aids. Commonlyused visual aids include charts, graphs, maps,pictures, etc. Objects are also good visual aids. In

demonstrating how to bake a cakeor make cookies, the ingredients, bowls, pans, and so forth all become visual aids.The speaker may become a visual aid when s/he show how to do something likedance, throw a football, or lead a cheer.

Remember, the visual aid is not more important than the speech. The speech shouldalways be the major concern. The visual aid is there only to help and support thespeech.

demonstrate: v.To showclearly.

reinforce: v.To give moreforce or effectiveness to;strengthen.

visual aid: n. Whatever theaudience sees during aspeech.


2/13

The topic of the speech should fit the audience and not be too simple or toocomplicated.

Demonstrations often require more rehearsal than other types of speeches. Thespeaker needs to make sure the audience can see the visual aids, the visual aids arelarge enough to be seen, and they are all working properly. The speaker also needsto rehearse with the visual aids to lessen the chance of anything going wrong. It is

embarrassing if the visual aid does not work properly. Problems lessen with practice,but the speaker should be prepared with another plan if the visual aid does not work.

Tips for a Successful DemonstrationSpeech

1. Have all your props ready. On the day of your speech, bring your props

to your teacher's room first thing in the morning.

2. Prepare all of the parts of your visual aid ahead of time. LabelEVERYTHING with your name!

3. If you forget something, have a back-up plan.

4. If you are going to demonstrate cooking something, remember that wedont have a stove or oven in the classroom. So, you can either do aswap-out (show us how to make the thing and then swap it out for oneyou already made, e.g. mix up the brownie dough and pour it into a pan

then bring out another pan of already cooked brownies), or you canbring in an electric grill (like a George Foreman grill) and cook somethingin class.

5. Memorize your speech as much as possible. Its really hard todemonstrate something while holding a script.
