If you had to assign the speech a numerical grade (0-100), what would it be? __________
Remember- your numerical grade of this speech should correlate with the grid above.
EVERY FACT YOU PLAN ON USING IN YOUR SPEECH
SHOULD BE IN THE OUTLINE
• Don't start off your speech with "My speech is on…."
• Avoid starting with a rhetorical question- “Have you ever wondered how many gorillas are in the world?”
• Don’t start with a dictionary definition. “According to Webster’s dictionary, lightning is defined as…”
• There are facts, and then there are INTERESTING facts!
• Don't conclude your speech with "That's about it…"
• Figure, for the most part, that the audience has little background in your topic.
• You MAY NOT use your outline to give your speech. You MAY use up to five 3x5 index cards with NO complete sentences written on them.
• Late outlines will be penalized twenty points a day. An outline MUST be done before a speech will be allowed to be given.
• PLAGIARISM will not be tolerated- plagiarized outlines will be returned with a zero and the violator will forfeit his or her right to give a speech. You also cannot take an excessive amount of word-for-word material and use it, even WITH crediting.
• Two sources must be credited within the speech. (“According to , Pamela Anderson….”)
• Visual aids must have artwork (more than one picture) AND facts. Vary fonts and sizes for eye appeal.
• Make sure your Internet sources are credible. There are a lot of people with too much free time on their hands putting garbage on the ‘Net.
