Describe the 5 elements of a speech introduction. In what order do they typically appear?
Which elements are mandatory and which can sometimes be omitted, and why?
What will be an ideal response?
If the audience is familiar and thus no rapport-building is immediately needed,
introductions usually begin with the attention-getter. Other elements include establishing
credibility, pointing out benefits to the audience, and, usually last, clarifying the central idea
with the thesis and preview of main points. All introductions must include attention-getters and
previews, but when audiences know the speaker – or if the audience analysis indicates they are
not needed --the others are not mandatory.
