Components of Intro & Conclusion




According to our book there are four components of an introduction and three components of a conclusion. The components of an introduction are first an attention getter, second a purpose and thesis, third credibility and the fourth component is a preview of the main points. The components of a conclusion are first review of the main points, second reinforcing the purpose, and third providing closure for your audience. For my speech I am doing Heart Disease, so for an attention getter I can use a story of a family member that has died from heart disease or maybe a surprising statistic or fact. For my purpose and thesis I will explain that I am going to talk about heart disease and why, to establish credibility I will state how and why I am informed enough to talk about it and for the main points I will go over what main points of heart disease will be talking about. For my conclusion I will restate the main points that I wanted to get across. I will reinforce the purpose and I will provide closure by having an ending statement.

  1. I like your little outline that goes into detail of the intro and conclusion. You did a great job of the description of it. I also like that you will be using an example from personal experience. That means that you have a pretty good connection with your topic. Your idea on how and what order you will be doing your intro and conclusion is great and very well organized. I will be doing the same probably. Seems that it is the way that makes most sense.
