*NEED HELP WRITING YOUR "CONFERENCE SPEECH"? Follow this step-by-step guide!
= = 1)<span style="color: rgb(45, 255, 0);"> Decide on the person(s) most likely to attend your conference as the subject of your speech . If you are sure that no one is attending your conference, choose a parent, grandparent, boss, neighbor, teacher, or support person in your life to write your speech about. (Note: In the past, some students have chosen to write two speeches for two parents, others have combined two parents into a single speech. Most choose one parent to write about and if the other parent also attends, they are happy to watch a speech, regardless of the subject!) 2) <span style="color: rgb(20, 235, 61);">Jot down 10 interesting things about this person. Why write ten when you only "need' three? The first three things you think of might not be as good as later things that come to mind. Things to consider: Skills the person is good at, places he/she has been, adventures or challenges he/she has faced, collections, passions, interests, jobs, memories, gifts... 3) From your list, <span style="color: rgb(20, 219, 42);">choose THREE things from your list you'd like me to know about the person you're introducing. These will become the 3 main points of your mini-speech! 4) <span style="color: rgb(11, 224, 33);">Write your INTRO (CAPTURE) line! Make it fun! Make it clever! Tell a joke or a story or use a statistic: "My mother has fed me 15,000 meals..." 5) <span style="color: rgb(27, 238, 48);">Determine which MAIN POINT you want to say first, second, and third. 6) <span style="color: rgb(39, 241, 51);">Write SUPPORT MATERIAL for each main point. Get out your gold "Support Materials" handout (or click the link below) and consider all 13 ways you can explain/expand/explore the point you are sharing. Don't forget to consider Visual Aids! Bring an object or photo to use. Maybe hold up that trophy your dad won for bowling back in 1997! 7) <span style="color: rgb(19, 216, 36);">Write a conclusion! Think of a closing line for your speech that finalizes your speech and leads us into the conference! 8) <span style="color: rgb(19, 195, 33);">Time your speech! Read it out loud and make sure it is 40-80 seconds long. If it is short, ADD MORE SUPPORT MATERIAL! If it is too long, look for ways to tighten (or see me for an extension of time). 9) <span style="color: rgb(20, 194, 40);">Write a note card (30 word maximum) Your goal is to TALK to us. By outlining your ideas in 30 words or less, you will prepare to glance at the notecard, the look UP to tell us about each point. 10) <span style="color: rgb(9, 220, 29);">Practice! Practice delivering your speech aloud. Better yet, ask a sibling or friend to listen to you practice. Practice in front of a mirror! 11) <span style="color: rgb(15, 240, 32);">Add a gesture! Yes, I'd like to see you gesture at some point in the speech.
