Directions for Monroes Motivated Sequence Speech
The Motivated Sequence pattern is tailor made for speeches about non-controversial
issues where you are seeking an immediate action from your audience. This sequence
follows the process of human thinking and leads the listener step-by-step to the desired
action. This is a tried and true sequence that is extremely effective.
Length: 7-10 minutes
Sources: minimum of 5 cited orally and recorded on a Works Cited Page
Type of delivery: Extemporaneous. You must speak from note cards or a speaking
outline. No manuscripts permitted.
Follow this outline pattern precisely:
I. Attention step
Use one of the attention strategies you learned previously. Do not ask pointless
questions.
II. Need Step
A. Give a clear, concise statement or description of the need or problem.
B. Provide one or more detailed examples which illustrate the need.
C. Give statistical data (Dont overwhelm us with statistics. Make sure you
understand how these statistics were generated and that they apply to your
subject specifically.
D. Use testimony and other forms of evidence to show the extent of the
need/problem.
III. Satisfaction step
A. Briefly state the action or change you wish your audience to adopt.
B. Give a complete, concise explanation of your plan.
C. Give a theoretical demonstration—show how this action logically meets
the problem.
D. Give actual examples showing that this plan has worked effectively and it
is a practical solution.
E. Use facts, figures, and the testimony of experts to support your
claims/plan.
F. Counter objections
IV. Visualization Step
(Now that you have your plan/solution, you will intensify your audiences
desire for your plan by helping them visualize your plan. You want to project
your audience into the future and picture the potential benefits of accepting
your plan or the negative outcome of rejecting it. Be realistic. You want your
audience to accept as plausible the images you are verbally creating. You
may do this in one of three ways:
A. Positive Method—By describing condition as they will be in the future if
the solution you propose is carried out. Provide vivid, concrete
descriptions. Make sure you are creating a personal image so your
audience can see people they love involved.
B. Negative Method—By describing the adverse conditions that will prevail
in the future if the plan you have presented is not adopted or carried out.
Select from the need step the most undesirable aspects of the present
situation and show how these conditions will continue if your proposal is
rejected.
