Speech

How to write your speech




 * 1) Above is a link to the graphic organizer to help you plan out your speech.
 * 2) You have 1 minute 30 seconds to speak. No extra time will be given.
 * 3) Your speech typed in Times 12pt font will be about 3/4's of a page.
 * 4) You are welcome to write your entire speech beforehand and read from this during the debate.
 * 5) Focus on the events/themes that support your team's stance on if the North and South should be two separate countries.
 * 6) Mention at least 3 facts to help prove your point.
 * 7) Practice your speech at least 6 times.
 * 8) You should write and perform the speech 'in character.'
 * 9) Feel free to call out your opponent for something they did prior to 1861.
 * 10) If you go first on your team you will want to have an introduction paragraph (introduce your team's position)
 * 11) If you go last on your team you will want to have a concluding paragraph (sum up your team's position).
 * 12) Have your speech written the week before the debate so that your team can give you feedback on it in class.
 * 13) Have fun with this process and only do what you feel comfortable doing.
