TIP 3 Writing a speech
3) TIP 3- Writing a speech
Most importantly consider the rules or guidelines provided by the school. For example length of time, topic etc. If your child is given a specific topic think about including simple elements of audience participation. For example asking the audience a question and getting a show of hands in response. Speeches that motivate or inspire your audience are powerful as well. Think about the topic given and think about how can I make this real for my audience in their lives. Consider you audience and their age etc. Judges look for how captivated your audience is. Remember that the teachers/judges are part of the audience as well.
When my children are given free choice for a speech topic they always try to choose a funny topic as this gives them the most enjoyment. There are some good web pages that give great ideas. I have gained a few ideas from this great website https://www.write-out-loud.com/fun-speech-topics.html Taking an everyday topic and having fun with it seems to work well. Also speeches in which you laugh at yourself or a family member seem to be popular. Try and choose something unique. Teachers have heard 100 speeches about homework over their years of teaching.
