Writing a Speech Story

One way to learn how to write a good speech is to look at those who say them best. For example, you could learn a lot from President Obama about how to write and make a speech, because he is one of the best at it and it helped him get in office. You start with a lead that summarizes the key point of your message. Next you set the context for the speech. Using quotes and quoted phrases are essential because you are actually writing an article about the speech. Background on prime-time speeches highlights the speech's importance. Towards the end of your article, you should return to the wider context of the main topic. Make sure to make transitions to new thoughts, and address things that happened before the speech that it had addressed, and reactions/potential reactions to the speech. Overall, just stay on topic, and make sure you completely understand all the aspects of the speech, who it is addressing, and what the potential aftermath of the speech could be.
