Last Day of Informative Speeches: Thursday, October 6

Our Informative Speeches are about over, and I've learned so much. Thanks. We will finish up these speeches on Thursday, so be sure to attend--especially if you haven't presented yet. Thursday is the last day for these speeches.

Some of you have asked me about the next speech we will give in class. It's a persuasive speech in which you will have 6 minutes to present a project to the class.

This project should be something that could be completed with four or five people in one class period after one class period of preparation. I've seen a wide range of projects completed: fundraisers, volunteer work, prayer walk, condom distribution, litter collection, random acts of kindness, community garden plans, awareness campaigns, promotional material production ... the project depends on you, your interests, and your imagination.

Your mission is to get four or five people in the class excited enough to put your project first on their list.

Based on your presentation, the class will vote on projects they would like to complete. I will form groups based on how you vote, and the project will be done. Your final speech will be entertaining in nature, as you present, with your group, what you did for your class project.

We can talk about this next speech more in class. But I just wanted to give you a heads up, so you can begin thinking of some project ideas. Feel free to comment on this blog post or email me with any questions.

Have a great Wednesday.
