Prepared speech assignment
We will be learning about three types of short speeches: persuasive, narrative, and informative.
Choose one of these three and create a short (3-6 minute) speech.
We will practice this week, using impromptu activities and direct instruction in the finer points of public speaking.
1. Choose one of the following speech topics:
Persuasive Offer a clear and convincing opinion about a social or political issue. Use strong and specific examples to prove your point.
Informative Explain a process, activity, pastime, sport, hobby, or field of study upon
which you are a relative expert. Choose something that you are passionate about. This
speech is the "grown-up" version of "show and tell."
Narrative Tell a story about an influential event in your life. A narrative should revolve
around a central theme or forceful conviction.
2. Create a speech and be ready on your scheduled day.
Changes in the schedule may only be made for EMERGENCIES and with parental permission. Rescheculed speeches are done on Monday, February 11th.
A "no-show" without prior warning results in a zero for the project and a call home.
Negative attitude or the slightest creation of an uncomfortable environment for public speaking will result in a call home, a reduction in grade for your own speech, and an office referral.
Your speech may be extemporaneous (you may use a note card). Do not hide behind it!
3. Grading
