Stage 1: Choosing a Topic
The Speech Project allows the students to research a project
of their choosing with minimal guidance. This is an
opportunity for the students to choose a topic that
inspires, interests, or satisfies a curiosity.
Some examples :
Examples of previous topics:
Biographies of people that inspire the presenter.
– Are Video games harmful?
– History of Real Madrid
– Operation Chavin
– Laika the dog that went to space
– Child Labor (Global & Peru)
Introspection about the Students
Topics
• Identify why are they writing this topic.
• Are you trying to inform or persuade your audience?
• Are you finding enough information about your topic?
Students must commit to their topic. Students can not
change their topics after week 2.
2018 World Cup
The World Cup will be a popular topic this year,
understandably so. However, the students must progress
past the emotion of it and learn positive and negative
aspects of their topics.
Example:
History of the World Cup, founders, and leadership.
Why is it every 5 years?
Who pays for it?
Have there been any scandals?
How was it corrected?
How does it bring people together?
Can it be improved?
Most successful World Cup. Why was it successful?
Stage 2: Preparation and
Research
They begin the research on the topic. They can use books
from the library, reliable web sites or interview people. They
start reading and selecting the ideas they would like to
consider for their work.
– Citations: Remind students to properly cite their
sources—including images—in the preferred format (i.e.,
MLA or APA), just as they would for a written paper.
– PowerPoint, include creative methods to transmit
information or transfer it from slide to slide. Some even
include sound effects.
Stage 3: Put your ideas together
Students use graphic organizers to:
– Make a draft including:
A. An Introduction:
– Opening greeting and introducing yourself.
– Define your topic (a summary of what your speech is about)
– Explain why you selected this topic.
– Explain the purpose of the presentation.
– Relevant facts and sources of information.
B. Body:
Share your research, main and supporting ideas, include examples and information that may call the audience’s attention.
Examples
C. Conclusions
– Summary of main points
– Closer or call to action
Stage 4: Make a PowerPoint
Presentation
All the researched information from the students does not
belong here.
– Use the PPT as a tool for talking points that maintains a
heading for the presenter and the audience. (Spelling,
grammar, and sources of information are important.)
– Animations and sounds should not distract the audience
from the focus of the presentation.
Stage 5: Practice how to deliver
the presentation
Practice at home before presenting it in class and make memory cards for key points. Keep cards to a minimum and number them.
To CONNECT you have to:
– Use your body ( eyes, hands and movement. )
– Vary your volume (Everybody must be able to hear you, but you don’t have to shout.)
– Vary your speed ( faster, slower and use the ‘power of the pause’)
– Pronounce the words correctly.
– Show your energy, passion!
Practice Continued:You may answer the following questions:
• Is the opening effective?
• Do the transitions from one idea to the next work?
• Do you need to slow your speech rate? When?
• Do you need pauses? Where? How long for?
• Are your words clearly spoken? Can people hear you adequately?
• Are any props you've planned fully integrated into the flow of your speech?
• Is the ending strong?
• Does the speech fit the time allowance?
Why this topic?
I selected this topic because I always liked the Kraken in stories and movies, and I wanted to learn more about it and other creatures.
I also think that maybe some of these stories might be real and these fantastic animals exist, but they hide from us.
Stories are found in many different places around
the world depending on the folklore and legends.
Most countries have at least one example of a
fantastic creature.
Where do they live?
The most famous monsters:
• From Ancient Greek mythology
• Countries with famous creatures are Norway,
Arabia, Egypt, and Scotland.
• A mythical beast is a fantastic creature that
comes from myths, folklore and legends.
• They are classified by characteristics, the place
they live, additional powers, magic and special
abilities.
• They are found in different countries around
the world like Norway, Arabia, Scotland, Egypt,
Japan, Greece, etc.
• Examples are the huge octopus, (Kraken) the
eagle of fire (Phoenix), the half human-horse
(Centaur) and the magical horse. (Unicorn)
