Week 3: Question 3

For my demonstrative speech, I will be giving a speech about how to tie neckwear, and in particular, ties. I have been researching the many different types of knots used to tie a tie. Before doing research on my topic, I was only familiar with two different style knots that I use commonly, but I have found that there are a few more that are worth knowing as well. Each style of knot will be a main point in my speech. I plan to first give a overview of the many different ways to tie a tie, and then move into explaining about what knots are commonly used in certain places. For a visual aid, I plan to wear a collared shirt on the day of the presentation and demonstrate on myself, but I also plan to have computer displayed visuals showing the motions because it could be hard to see what I am doing up front.

Neckwear.... when i was tying to come up with an idea i would have never thought about ties. I always thought that there were only two ways to tie a tie so a guess this will be a learning experience for many... just for fun- you may want to make it a little more interactive....get the audience involved some how...believe me-- minutes go by slowly during speech time.
