Special Occasion Speeches - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Speeches of Dedication
        
        A speech of dedication is delivered when a new store opens, a building is named after someone, a plaque is placed on a wall, a new library is completed, and so on. These speeches are designed to highlight the importance of the project and possibly those to whom the project has been dedicated (Special Occasion Speeches).
      - Eulogies
        
        A eulogy is a speech given in honor of someone who has died. When preparing a eulogy, first you need to know as much information about the deceased as possible. The more information you have about the person, the more personal you can make the eulogy. While you can rely on your own information if you were close to the deceased, it is always a good idea to ask friends and relatives of the deceased for their memories, as these may add important facets that may not have occurred to you (Special Occasion Speeches).
      - Speeches of Acceptance
        
        The speech of acceptance is a speech given by the recipient of a prize or honor. There are three typical components of a speech of acceptance: thank the givers of the award or honor, thank those who helped you achieve your goal, and put the award or honor into perspective (Special Occasion Speeches).
      - Farewell
        
        A speech of farewell allows someone to say good-bye to one part of his or her life as he or she is moving on to the next part of life. Maybe you’ve accepted a new job and are leaving your current job, or you’re graduating from college and entering the work force. Whatever the case may be, periods of transition are often marked by speeches of farewell (Special Occasion Speeches).
      - Speeches of Presentation
        
        A speech of presentation is a brief speech given to accompany a prize or honor. When preparing a speech of presentation, it’s always important to ask how long the speech should be. Once you know the time limit, then you can set out to create the speech itself. First, you should explain what the award or honor is and why the presentation is important. Second, you can explain what the recipient has accomplished in order for the award to be bestowed (Special Occasion Speeches).
      - Toasts
        
        A toast is a speech designed to congratulate, appreciate, or remember. First, toasts can be delivered for the purpose of congratulating someone for an honor, a new job, or getting married. You can also toast someone to show your appreciation for something they’ve done. Lastly, we toast people to remember them and what they have accomplished (Special Occasion Speeches).
      - Speeches of Introduction
        
        A minispeech given by the host of a ceremony that introduces another speaker and his or her speech. Just like any other speech, a speech of introduction should be a complete speech and have a clear introduction, body, and conclusion; and you should do it all in under two minutes. The body of your introductory speech should be devoted to telling the audience about the speaker’s topic, why the speaker is qualified, and why the audience should listen. Specific Purpose: To entertain the audience while preparing them for Janice Wright’s speech on rituals (Special Occasion Speeches).
      - Roasts
        
        The roast speech is a very interesting and peculiar speech because it is designed to both praise and good-naturedly insult a person being honored. Generally, roasts are given at the conclusion of a banquet in honor of someone’s life achievements. The television station Comedy Central has been conducting roasts of various celebrities for a few years (Special Occasion Speeches).
  - - - Speeches of Goodwill
        
        Speeches of goodwill are often given in an attempt to get audience members to view the person or organization more favorably. Although speeches of goodwill are clearly persuasive, they try not to be obvious about the persuasive intent and are often delivered as information-giving speeches that focus on an individual or organization’s positives attributes (Special Occasion Speeches).
        
        Speeches of Justification
        
        The second common speech of goodwill is the speech of justification, which is given when someone attempts to defend why certain actions were taken or will be taken. In these speeches, speakers have already enacted (or decided to enact) some kind of behavior, and are now attempting to justify why the behavior is or was appropriate (Special Occasion Speeches).
        
        Speeches for Public Relations
        
        In a public relations speech, the speaker is speaking to enhance one’s own image or the image of his or her organization (Special Occasion Speeches).
        
        Speeches of Apology
        
        When you need to make an apology speech, there are three elements that you need to include: be honest and take responsibility, say you’re sorry, and offer restitution. First, a speaker needs to be honest and admit to doing something wrong. The worst apology speeches are those in which the individual tries to sidestep the wrongdoing. Even if you didn’t do anything wrong, it is often best to take responsibility from a public perception perspective. Second, say that you are sorry. People need to know that you are remorseful for what you’ve done (Special Occasion Speeches).
      - Speeches of Commencements
        
        designed to recognize and celebrate the achievements of a graduating class or other group of people. The most typical form of commencement speech happens when someone graduates from school. Nearly all of us have sat through commencement speeches at some point in our lives (Special Occasion Speeches).
