Body clearly explains how you created it and the reasoning for choice of tools.

Conclusion ties presentation together.

Speech is prepared, organized into an introduction, body, and conclusion, with minimal transitional devices.

Speech is obviously prepared and researched, but has no discernible intro, body, and/or conclusion and lacks interlocking thoughts.

Speech has an impromptu effect, with no discernible parts or transitions; is obviously poorly researched and unprepared.

Speech is unprepared, not researched, and is obviously an impromptu presentation.
