Categorical Topical
-The most common pattern for organizing a speech. In this
pattern, the categories help the speaker organize the message in a
consistent manner.
Comparison Contrast
-This pattern is used to compare and contrast subjects or
ideas.
Spatial
- This pattern organizes information according to how
things fit together in physical space.
Chronological
- Places the main idea in the time order in which items
appear.
Biographical
- Usually employed when a speaker wants to describe a
person’s life—either the speaker’s own life, the life of
someone they know personally, or the life of famous person.
Casual
- This pattern is used to explain cause-and-effect
relationships.
- Your speech will have two main points: cause and effect.
Problem-Cause-Solution
- Describe a problem, identifies you believe is causing the
problem, and then recommends solution to correct this
problem.
Psychological
- In this pattern a leads to b, and b leads to c.
Duration
Time is important, and a speaker should always bear that
in mind. As such, a speech must be long enough to fulfil
your speech goals but short enough to hold your
audience’s attention.
For Example:
The president’s State Of the Nation Address (SONA)
last between 30 and 90 minutes to allow the head of some
time for a comprehensive delivery of relevant information. A
very short SONA might deem important. On the other hand,
a very long SONA might bore the audience.

ESSENTIAL LEARNING
After you have your audience and done research on the
topic, making an outline will help you organize your speech.
Keep in mind that your speech has to have a good introduction
that will catch and hold your audience’s attention. The body of
your speech should, ideally, focus on only three things about
the topic regardless of how much time you have given to
discuss them. Such focus ensures that your audience will
remember most of the things you will say. Your word choice and
type of language will then be utmost importance as your
listeners’ ability to completely understand your message is
directly intertwined with words you will use and the language
you will employ. Lastly, make it a point to rid your speech of
grammatical errors that will not only compromise your own
credibility but also make it difficult for your audience to
understand your message.
