Final Speech

This should be your best speaking effort.  Be sure all essential elements are in play.

• Good delivery (eye contact, use of notes, stance etc)
   

• Writing (expressive and clear)
   

• Content and Structure

=>Introduction:  Does the speech have an introduction (grab people's attention, introduce the topic, focus the listener)

=>Body (points of interest, flow between the points, example or stories)

=>Conclusion (draw to an end and summarize)

Your final speech can be:

• A speech of tribute

• A eulogy

• An award presentation for a fictional award and person

• A toast

• An acceptance speech for a fictional award

• An inspirational speech

• An after-dinner speech to entertain

Other Points to Remember

• Your speech should be 4-6 minutes long (timed as before).

• You will receive a verbal peer review.

• We will have a mini class award ceremony for most improved, funniest or most inspirational, and best speakers.
