Bag Speech Directions

For the next class, you will need to bring a bag with three items in it for the Any Old Bag Will Do… introduction. Any bag or something that serves as a bag, (ie. hat, guitar case, bowling ball carrier…) will be used to transport three items: one that represents your past, one that represents your present and one that represents your future.

During class, you will introduce yourself using these items. Your presentation will be in three stages with an introduction, body and conclusion.

For the Introduction, start with an attention-getter and then a credibility statement (which is simply stating your name and a comment of your grade level). Next, identify the significance of the “bag” you selected. Next, make a preview statement which simply explains that you will be sharing items that are representative of your past, present and future.

In the Body of the speech, give a brief explanation about each of the three items in your bag. Use little stories, descriptions or explanations to help convey the item’s significance.

Lastly, your Conclusion will start with a summary of your main ideas which was that you shared something from your past, present and future. Follow this with an invitation to your audience to respond in some way and then give the big finish final comment.

You do NOT need to write out this presentation but you should rehearse it at least twice. Hopefully, you’ll speak about two minutes, but there is no time criterion for this speech.
