Journeyman: APRIL 10, Public Speaking #6 SHARE YOUR MESSAGE

use your voice

time to work

You’ve been working hard all year to learn about and practice giving speeches and now it is go time!!

By this point, you should know what type of speech you would like to give.

OPTIONS ARE:

1. Prepared Speech (5-7 minutes)
2. Impromptu (3-5 minutes)
3. Illustrated Talk (8 minutes)
4. Demonstration (8 minutes)

YOUR HOMEWORK THIS WEEK IS TO PREPARE & PRACTICE YOUR SPEECH!

1. If you still need to write or finish writing your speech, do it now!! This is your highest priority.
2. Recite your speech at least three times (more is better) with an audience if you can.
3. If you are choosing the impromptu speech, ask your family for random but meaningful topics, USE THOSE to practice and prepare. (or use these: “What does Vanguard mean to you?” or “How will you change the world” or “Why kindness matters” or “Cool facts about animals, etc.” – you get the idea.)
4. Ask for feedback, REFER TO THE JUDGES SHEETS IN THE INFO PACKET (found below) This is how you will be judged.

READ THIS: points will be docked if you go over your allowed time!!!!!
