SPEECH PLAN

(speech to entertain)

Title: My Big, Big Brother

Specific Speech Purpose: To entertain my Comm III audience with my personal thoughts toward my very own big brother.

Statement: There are 3 points which help explain my brother's role as a “big brother.”

INTRODUCTION

1. Attention Step: I'm sure that everyone in this room has already heard of Pinoy Big Brother. We can't deny the fact that every night, there are people who get excited about what's going to happen, who's going to be evicted, who's going to perform the worst for the next challenge, or especially now- find out how their favorite celebrities act behind scripts. And, whether we admit it or not, sometimes, we also get curious what's inside “Bahay ni Kuya.” I used to be one of those people who got interested with the said show. Nothing interests me more than to find out who's the person voicing “Kuya” in Pinoy Big Brother. I remember, after Nene was declared winner, i was waiting for a special edition that would feature the person who voices over Kuya. I even planned to make him the topic for my speech. I thought it would be interesting to know and tell about what he really looks like and all about him, being big brother in Pinoy big brother and an ordinary person. I've got everything planned when I realized there's not much to care about knowing him, because even if I get this person revealed, it wouldn't create any difference. Partly knowing him won't get me anything and anywhere. So I decided to shift to another topic. This morning, i want to talk about someone i know. Let me introduce you to a person whom i know by heart- my very own big brother.

2. Clarification Step: Today, i have 3 points to tell and these points would explain my brother's role as a “big brother”, whether inside or outside the house.

B. His weight is 200 pounds. He used to weigh 220.

C. His body is so wide that he can have me walk upon its back for a good massage.

D. He has big and mighty-meaty arms and hands.

himself when he's in third grade.

3. Personally knowing my big brother creates a BIG IMPACT in my life.

connects the gap that supposed to exist since he's is 4 years older than me.

CONCLUSION

Summary Step: My big brother is someone whom I will always look up to not just because of his bigger stature, but because of his big heart and the good example that he has established. Knowing him as a playmate, a friend and a fan gives me inspiration and creates big difference in my life. And perhaps after this, I would consider him as my favorite big brother. After all, I couldn't have a choice, because he's the only one I have.
