How to
Demonstration Speech Name __________________
What’s the root word of demonstration? ____________________
A demonstration speech shows how to make something, how to do something, or how something works. It’s also known as a process speech or a “how-to speech.”
1. Demonstrate something that you do well. Let your hands work automatically.
2. Organize the steps in the process you are demonstrating. Do the job one step at a time, pause between steps, and speak slowly enough for your audience to follow.
3. Make sure that everyone can see what you are doing.
4. Speak with authority. (You’re the expert!)
5. Use props (wherever possible) to help you demonstrate. However, in certain cases, you may simply pantomime the steps. Either bring the item you’re demonstrating to class, bring a chart, make a poster, write on the board, etc.—just make sure that you have some type of visual aid.
6. After you pick your topic, write an outline and practice your speech. Practice is the key to success! If possible, try to get the class to participate in your demonstration.
7. This speech must be at least 3 minutes long. Some speeches may be so involved that they might take half or all of a period! That’s fine!
SUGGESTED TOPICS:
NOTE: Please do not choose a topic that involves hot grease/oil. Pick something that could be demonstrated in the classroom or in the parking lot. In some speeches, you can act out/pantomime the steps since it wouldn’t work to physically do them (like water skiing!) You also have the option of using pictures to show the steps in progress.
