Extemporaneous Speech Topic Outline Sample



Extemporaneous speech topic outline for students who have to write an extemporaneous speaking presentation on good speech topics that deal with actual themes.

With this sample I will show you how to easily use ordinairy news articles to formulate your arguments and evidence in a snap.

For this speech I used four articles as basics to filter out information, listed in the sources paragraph below.

My step by step method: First I decided on the angle of view.

Second I simply choose for this extemp question: Does President Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? And third, I fill in the speech topics outline below. Remember, you can also take side in favor of the laureate. This is not my personal opinion, but just an example to show you how to write an extemporaneous speech topic outline yourself.


INTRODUCTION OF YOUR EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH TOPIC

I. INTEREST STEP
The award of the Nobel Peace Prize 2009 to Barack Obama is a surprise pick which raise lots of doubts. A peace award winner who has not directed any winning peace project so far.

II. THESIS
So, does President Obama Deserve The Nobel Peace Prize? No, he has not achieved any real success in foreign policy matters.

III. CLARIFICATION
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has praised Obama's extraordinary efforts in international diplomacy. But world reactions expressed surprise. The honor comes too soon, according to worldleaders, there are no real peace schievements.

IV. PREVIEW
(This step is a short compelling summary of the main points of your extemporaneous speech topic)
President Obama does not deserve the prize because of Iraq, the Middle East and Afghanistan, the President himself has spoken openly about his doubts, and other main political figures who won before sure had achieved real substantial diplomatic peace successes.


THE BODY (RUBRIC)

I. MAIN POINT OF YOUR EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH TOPIC
There have not been any concrete achievements in Afghanistan, Iraq or the Middle East.

A. EVIDENCE
Obama ordered thousands of US troops extra to Afghanistan. The Palestinians claim he has does nothing concrete for their rights. Iraq has been suffering from the deadliest year since the 2003 invasion.

B. REASONING
(Explain here how the first argument of the extemporaneous speech topic is constructed, based on your evidence.)More troops could to Afghanistan provoke violence and civilian casualties in the end, the enemy proclaims. Their still is no working Middle East peace plan in which both parties, Israel ánd Palestinians trust. The presidential schedule for the withdrawal of troops is still discussed, the oppositional forces still try to create disorder.

C. RELATIONSHIP TO THESIS
Can we call that peace efforts? Yes, we can. Can we call that substantial peace achievements? No, we can not - at this moment.


II. MAIN POINT OF YOUR EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH TOPIC
The President himself has spoken openly about his doubts less than a year in office.

A. EVIDENCE
He says to be surprised and deeply humbled.

B. REASONING
Hw further said that he not feel he "deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honoured by this prize".

C. RELATIONSHIP TO THESIS
Obama has stated that he doesn't see it as a recognition of his accomplishments, but "rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations".


III MAIN POINT OF YOUR EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH TOPIC
These are other main political persons who won before. Who are those "transformative figures who have been honoured by this prize" as the 2009 laureate describes them?

A. EVIDENCE
In 1994 Shimon Peres, Foreign Minister of Israel, won. In 1994 Yitzhak Rabin, Prime Minister of Israel, in 1978 Menachim Begin, Prime Minister of Israel, and in 1973 Henry Kissinger, U S Secretary of State.

B. REASONING
Their peace efforts resulted in concrete historical peace making moments: Shimon Peres, and Yitzhak Rabin were honoured for their historic agreement between Israel and Palestinians. Menachim Begin for the peace treaty he co-concluded between Israel and Egypt. And Henry Kissinger was praised for helping to establish a ceasefire and US withdrawal from Vietnam.

C. RELATIONSHIP TO THESIS
Yes, they all accomplish concrete diplomatic successes. Obama not.


CONCLUSION OF YOUR EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH TOPIC

I. SUMMARY
There have not been any real substantial peace achievements at this moment. The laureate himself refers to the lack of peace making moments. And he refers to Nobel Peace Prize winners who are awarded because of their historical agreements.

II. RESTATEMENT
So, now again: does President Obama Deserve The Nobel Peace Prize? No, he has not achieved any real success in foreign policy matters, and predecessors have.

III. APPEAL OF YOUR EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH TOPIC
Some call the award a politically motivated insult. I don't. I prefer to look ahead and cite 1984 Nobel Winner South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu "it's a magnificent endorsement for the first African-American president in history". But the President of Hope has sure achieved one thing - do think about it - he carries hope in his peace efforts. And I predict: one day he will really deserves the Prize for real peace accomplishments!


SOURCES
Obama: I Do Not Deserve Nobel Prize, Doubts Over Obama Nobel Win, Norwegian Nobel Committee Report, and All Nobel Peace Prize Laureates.

You see, you as a student or forensic competition contestant, can do the same. With other and more sources. But I kept this example simple, in order to show you how easy it is to prepare an extemporaneous speech topic outline by yourself in less time.
