Hey Team we will be having our regular annual BHJMS speech competition this year. We must have 2 class winners by April 17 in order to compete in the school wide event. Students MUST present a speech but do not have to compete at the school level.
Choosing a Topic: No repeating previous topics come up with something fresh and exiting for you. It does not need to be based on cliche talking points. Talk about something you like and are interested in. The key component is that you will be informing the audience and trying to convince them that they need to change or consider what you are offering.
Making an Intro:
Let's start getting ready for our speech competition. We will begin with practicing and constructing an opening sequence.
An opening should; clearly establish your position on a topic, grab the readers attention with a quote, poem, anecdotal story, and finally set up the audience with a brief highlight of evidence you will use.
If you are really stuck:
Let's use this picture as our starting point "Your topic is wildlife endangerment and the wilful destruction of our forested areas...right your opening "
Use this space to write and post your opening paragraph for your speech:
