After you have reviewed the speech, answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper to turn in: 1. Who gave the speech? 2. What was it about? 3. Why is this speech so important? 4. What made the speaker so effective at getting his/her point across? 5. Quote a line or two from the speech. Why is this quote important? Paraphrase what was said. **Job 2 **: Pick a topic for your speech and have it approved by me. Remember, try and pick a topic that you'll enjoy doing research on and that your classmates will enjoy hearing about. - Watch these videos and to begin writing down your main points. media type="youtube" key="tShavGuo0_E" width="560" height="315" media type="youtube" key="fUgwc2WlPrk" width="560" height="315" Having trouble coming up with a topic for your speech?

This must be filled out completely and handed in before giving your speech. It will help you organize all of the points you plan on covering throughout your presentation to the class.

- Use presentation tools (KeyNote, Google Slides, Explain Everything,etc...) to help support your speech, not to do the work for you. You should not have your entire speech typed out on slides! - Have fun while you're up teaching the class about your topic. You got to choose it, so it should something that you know inside and out. Educate us! - Make sure your outline is filled out before your speech. You'll hand it to me immediately before you begin for me to follow along. - For many of you, this is your first opportunity to practice public speaking. Good Luck!
