BEGINNERS: Welcome, Impromptus, and the 4 Kinds of Speeches

Introduces students to the basics of speaking and has them
do very short versions of each kind of speech (except PowerPointing because of time issues)

 

RETURNERS: Work with students to pick the kinds of speeches, topics, etc. Get them started on their speeches—talking to each of them. I suggest having them do an impromptu speech too.

IMPROMPTU SPEAKING

 

Welcome the kids—make a nice atmosphere for these kids—they may be a bit nervous as they aren’t in their regular labs anymore.

Get them going ASAP—they are going to be coming in not all at the same time. Figure a way to say “hi” quietly to kids entering especially during other kids speaking.

START BY GIVING THEM THE TOPICS—one set for the entire group in your flight’s lab. Give them7 to 10 minutes prep before the first speech.

 

Give them 3 REALLY EASY topics to talk about. Tell them that they pick 1 of the topics.

Example/Suggested Topics Flight 1:

Favorite Food

Change we need

What I learned in a class

 

Example/Suggested Topics Flight 2:

Best Game

Supporting Social Justice

What I learned searching the internet

 

Then tell them—what argument do they want to make about the topic.

Then, come up with 2 points to support that argument—along with supporting examples, stories, info from books they’ve read, etc.

Then, get an intro (attention getter, state the topic, state their argument) and a conclusion (sum up, show the importance of what they discussed, and a finish)

STUDENTS SHOULD BEGIN TALKING within 15 minutes of the start of the lab.
