My speech will be about solar energy. The components of my introduction are as follows:1) Get your audiences attention, 2) Indicate purpose and thesis, 3) Establish Credibility and 4) Preview main points. I plan on getting their attention by showing how easy it is to get what I'm talking about and how it applies to them. Here:s my thesis: " Thesis
Statement: Solar Energy could be the future of energy resources because it is
easy to install, cheap and renewable". I will establish my credibility by showing a picure of the system I just personally installed. I will then take the 3 main elements of my thesis and make them my main points (Easy to install, Cheap and renewable) . That will make up my intro. As far as my conclussion, I'm still working on it. The elements of the conclussion are as follows: 1) Review main points, 2) Reinforce Purpose and 3) Provide closure. What I'll probably do is remind them that of how easy it is to install solar. The cost has come down a lot over the years so it's much cheaper now than ever before. One of the best parts of solar energy? It's renewable and plentiful. It's an almost endless source of energy. To show an example, here's a small part of the body of my outline: "Every
second, the sun pumps out 9.192 × 1010 megatons of TNT of energy to earth
(Williams)". Hopefully, all this will come together over the next 2 weeks. Time flys by and it seems that this speech will be here in no time.

I like how your thesis compliments your preview of main points and the body of your paragraph so well. Well, that IS the purpose of the thesis after all, but it seems that the way you have worded it makes your topic and organization more simple and easier for the audience to follow and understand. Sometimes it can be difficult to decipher which part of an introduction is the actual thesis, but your thesis seems very clear and it definitely reinforces your main points. Also, it's nice that your topic really is relevant to your audience because information on solar energy could be beneficial to your audience members if they understand it in it's entirety. I'm sure you will do a great job on your informative speech!
