Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to share ideas and information with the audience by fully describing and explaining the complete subject that is your topic. Through this speech, you will have the opportunity to “teach” us something. Therefore, this speech should inform the audience on your topic as if it were generally unknown to them, while developing its significance to them specifically, as well as society generally, and at a depth that we will find truly educational.
Description: This speech should be 4-5 minutes in length and a comprehensive preparation outline, featuring 3-5 main points, is required at the beginning of your speech. There are penalties for going over or under the required time limits. This means you will need to practice your speech sufficiently to be sure of its length.
The speech will also need to include two credible sources of information (books, newspaper articles, journal/database articles, encyclopedia entries, educational websites--NOT Wikipedia). You must refer to the source in your speech (i.e. According to an article from Blank Book by Blank Author, ...). If you have any questions, talk to me about citing your source during the Gallery Walk.
Remember, the purpose of this speech is to inform your audience on your topic, not to attempt to persuade them of what you believe. Be creative in choosing your topic and make sure that it really interests you. If you have questions or concerns, you will have a chance to discuss them with me during the Gallery Walk or via email.
