In developing a policy speech seeking immediate actions, the first step is to gain attention by making us aware of a serious problem in the introduction. The second step is your first main point. You must prove, demonstrate, support with research, that a problem exists and there is a need for action. Tell us what harms exist or will be created if we fail to take action. (i.e. how many lives are in danger, how much money is being wasted, how many people are suffering needlessly? etc.) The third step is to provide a plan (your second main point) with specific action steps that should be taken. The fourth step is to demonstrate the practicality (your third main point) of how this plan will solve the problems. Visualize a positive future if you follow your plan. Your fifth step in the conclusion is a call to a specific action we can take immediately to be a part of solving this serious problem.
