Speeches Ideas and WIS Speech Competition

Preparing your Speech

Choose a topic that interests YOU!

 

PREPARE –BEFORE YOU START WRITING YOUR SPEECH

Decide on the purpose of your speech:

To ENTERTAIN: use funny stories, good mannered jokes and humour

To INSPIRE or PURSUADE: use personal stories and loads of enthusiasm

To NARRATE: be very expressive and create interest

To EDUCATE: use facts, figures and give examples. Shoe credibility, limit jargon

 

Other things to think about:

AUDIENCE: How many? What ages? Education, cultures and interests of your audience.

VENUE: Where are you going to speak?  Can you use props or displays?
