Informative Current Event Speech
Here are the parameters of the speech:
Speaking Time: 5-7 Minutes
Source Requirement: 3 Sources
Citation Style: APA
In this speech, students are asked to outline the background, major controversies, and other relevant information about their current event topic. Students should feel free to use the formula from the extemp speeches, or if they would like, they can invent their own. Students will be required to produce two outlines. The first outline is the preparation outline. Remember, this outline should have full sentences, transition statements, and a work cited page. Please consult your lecture notes, the book, and this blog, for extra guidance in constructing the preparation outline. THIS OUTLINE WILL BE DUE OCT, 18. The revision of the outline will be due on the first day of speeches, Oct 23. The second outline is the speaking outline. This document serves to prompt the speaker's memory and helps he or she through the speech. It should not have any full sentences. The only exception to this rule is if you are citing a piece of evidence. The speaking outline will be turned in after you speak.
