Explaining the Patterns of informative speech:
Topical pattern: in which information is presented according to a specific category or classification. It is useful when the subject of the speech can be divided into subparts that form a whole.
Chronological pattern: follows subject in time. It is useful when presenting biographical or historical information or when tracing the development of an idea, institution, or movement. It may span centuries or days, depending on the scope of the topic.
Spatial pattern: topics based on the location of one part in relation to others or on a geographical progression may be best presented in a spacial order. A spatial organization may be appropriate for certain subjects not related to geography at all.
Pattern of increasing difficulty: it can be used when a topic is relatively complex and the speaker may choose a pattern of organization based on it.it is helpful when presenting an informative talk on a subject with which the audience in unfamiliar.
Chain of events pattern: it is based on the development of a series of steps, with each step depending on the previous one. It is useful when giving a demonstration speech that explains a certain procedure.
Patterns for persuasive speech:
Inductive pattern: is based on the precess of inductive reasoning. You present the audience with several specific cases that serve as the bias for a generalization
Deductive pattern: in which a speaker applies a generalization to specific cases. The generalization serves as the basis for an effective argument. The speaker must draw a conclusion about the specific case based on its applicability to a previously accepted generalization.
Cause and effect pattern: the speaker establishes a relationship between 2 events. The speaker attempt to convince the audience that this relationship is one of cause and effect or that a certain result is the product of a specific event.
Problem-solution pattern: this approach is much the same as the pattern of organization used in group discussions. Basic steps: what is the nature of the problem, what are the causes, what are the possible solutions, what are the possible solutions, which is the best solution, how can this solution be put into effect? It is based on a logical, step-by-step analysis of a particular problem.
