   Writing a speech essay is basically the same as preparing a speech, except in this case you probably won't actually deliver the speech. Instead, unless the course syllabus states otherwise, your instructor will read the essay and assign it a grade. This does not mean, however, that writing a speech essay is necessarily easier than delivering a speech, since the process is somewhat involved. Then again, if you keep certain guidelines in mind, not only can you simplify the process but also increase your chances of earning a good grade. Identify the speech type. You cannot begin to write an effective essay unless you know the type of speech. Is it persuasive or informative? Is it a how-to, analytical or narrative speech? Each has a different purpose: A persuasive speech tries to convince the audience to accept an idea and/or take action, an informative provides information, a how-to explains the steps involved in a process, an analytical examines a concept or process and a narrative relates a story, albeit one with a purpose. Determine the speech goal. Most speeches have a general goal and a specific goal. The general goal is the basic intent of the speech. For example, is it intended to entertain, to inform or to persuade? The specific goal, though, is a statement identifying the exact response you hope to obtain from the audience. For example, "I would like the audience to take action to help stop animal experimentation by pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies."
