Intros and Conclusions

According to the book there is a lot that needs to go into both your introduction and your conclusion. In the introduction a person needs to let hte audience know what their purpose and thesis is, esatblish credibility with the audience, and finally preview the main points that they will cover. As I have recently begun research and the outline of my speech I know most of this what I will do for these categories, but not completly. I know that my purpose will be to inform the audience about the Titanic and my hypothesis will have something to do with theories about why it sank. My main points will discuss the history of the ship, facts and myths about the great ship and more about why it eventually sank. For the conclusion, according to our textbook, we need to review the main points we covered in our speech, restate what our purpose was, and provide the audience with some form of closure. As I have not gotten to my conclusion yet in my outline, I'm not too sure what it will look like. But I will definitely be going over the points I preview in my intro (why it sank, history and facts and myths).
