Topic: Barbie
General Function: To inform
Specific purpose: To inform my audience of the history of the Barbie Doll.
Organization Design: Topical
Introduction
Attention-Arousing and Orienting Material:
When you think long hair, perfect skin, trendy clothes, and a rockin’ body, what comes to every little girls mind? Barbie of course!
Credibility:
As a child I had a Barbie or two, or twenty. When the day was rainy and no friends could come over and play I always knew my dear friends Tara and Tonya would be there for me. They were my favorite Barbie. They were twins, only because one Christmas I received the same doll from two different sides of the family. Both with long brown hair like me. In a way I felt like we were triplets. Hey! Every girl can dream.
Thesis statement:
Barbie was known to be every little girls friend and best secret keeper.
Preview of the Main Points:
First I will inform you a little about who had the brilliant idea of Barbie. Secondly I will give you the history of the very first Barbie. Lastly I will describe the changes of Barbie from then until now.
(Transition: Let me start off by telling you who the master mind behind Barbie was)
Body
I: The Barbie doll was invented in 1959 by Ruth Handler, whom referred to herself as “Barbie’s Mom”

1. Ruth was born November 4, 1916 in Colorado.
2. She lived 84 long years before kicking the bucket on April 27, 2002 in Los Angeles, CA.
3. Ruth was the first to invent, first to patent, the doll we call Barbie.
B: After watching her daughter spend long hours making paper dolls, she knew there had to be a better way
