It has to be something that you think is intresting or something you know alot of. 4. If you pick a large topic pick only 1 small part. 5. The speach has to convince the audience. My advice is to memorize the whole speach before you go to the final 3 and if you do you don’t have to memorize it at the end. Those are the 5 main ideas of the process to give a speach and my advice for a speach to more grade 5’s in the future.

One of the things I learned is that have an arugment in your speech. for example if you are doing about saving the sharks then you must an arugment about saving the sharks.The second thing I learned was that you must have a good opening like close eyes and… or wonder if you are in the… . The third thing I learned was that you must have eyecontact and facecel exprations like if you are going to say a word louder then any other word then it has to be loud or low. for exaple saying THERE ARE ONLY… and that has to be loud !The fourth thing I learned was that when you get up to say your speech then you must have confendent in your shelf don’t nerves it’s only your school or class. The most and final thing I learned was that you have to pratice I mean pratice everyday and move your words around and make it funny and interesting words. And those are the 5 things I learned from the ” process” of giving a speech.

March 30, 2009 at 2:52 pm (15 years ago)The process of my speech “Bullying” was very common but fun. Also having alot of experience with it it was very fun to show some of your experience of bullying in the speech. Also in a sense putting things in a funny way like with our openings of our speeches. Also the information of how there are different types of bullying or why bullies doing it learnign its bad to bully and more. Also trying to edit the paper to make more sense. The three thing that we had to do was raise our voice, use face and body gestures, and the speech its self. So that we know when to speak louder, make actions, and make the speech interesting. Also rememerizing the speech know from which sentences you go to. For my advice for people doing the speeches in Mr. Woods class pretend evryones head is cut off so that you would think they are not hearing or seeing you, also thinking they have no brain so you think your basically talking to yourself. I had fun in the speeches. HOPE YOU DO TOO!

March 30, 2009 at 3:07 pm (15 years ago)Writing speeches is alot of hard work. I learned alot from writing a speech like editing. Boy that takes SO much time. Also I have learn’t if it is something huge you are doing, then you have to research!A whole lot. I also learned if you have to learn a speech then you mostlikly have to memerize it. And also one very important fact is to write it neat so you can read it.And last of all I learned it is important to keep your speech with you at all times just if you think of an idea. One piece of advice about writing a speech is to add humour.That is what I say.

March 30, 2009 at 4:43 pm (15 years ago)Speeches… aren’t they wonderful? Well that’s what some people say, others say that they’re totally not wonderful. Here’s a list of the top 5 things that I learned from doing speeches:
1. Think of an original topic. If your topic is boring, people won’t vote for you.
2. Start practising saying your speech in front of others, well ahead of time. Sometimes other people notice things that you might not be aware of yourself.
3. Print neatly and highlight the important words. It makes it easier to read.
4. Time your speech to be well over 3 minutes. When your’re in front of an audience you sometimes get nervous and tend to speak more quickly.
5. Make make sure you look up at the audience and not your cue cards the whole time.
To those people who are givig a speech in the future, my advice would be to get lots of sleep the night before you say your speech.

March 30, 2009 at 6:06 pm (15 years ago)Aren’t speeches fantastic?! I mean you learn a lot from them.If you keep on reading my comment you will see what I learned through this speech writing process and also a piece of advice to those who are going to be doing speeches in the future.
#1.I learned how to write a great piece of writing!Meaning I learned how to make a great opening sentence,how to connect my reasons together and how to end a piece of writing in a great way.
#2.I learned how to get all my ideas into order to make my speech in between 3-5 minutes.
#3.I learned how to get over the fear of talking to an auidence.
#4.I learned how to memorize things faster and easier which is normally REALLY hard for me.
#5. The last thing I learned is it is A LOT of work writing a speech.
Now a piece of advice I would give to those who are going to be doing speeches in the future is don’t forget to look at the auidence. Sure you may be a little afraid doing that but how good your eye contact is, is something that your teacher,classmates and judges look for when you are doing your speech.
That is all I have to say.Bye!Bye!

March 30, 2009 at 6:12 pm (15 years ago)SPEECHES
Hey, are YOU giving a speech? YOU want to know what I learned from the process of giving a speech? Well if YOU really want to know, then continue reading. If not, then get off the laptop or computer and go read a book!
Ok, then. The FIVE things I learned from the process of giving a speech are:
1. YOU should always have some expression in YOUR speech. That way, YOU’LL catch peoples attention. Also by raising and lowering YOUR voice. That will make your speech more interesting.
2. LOUD, LOUD, LOUD!!!!!!! Make YOUR voice loud enough so that everyone can hear YOUR wonderful voice. dont macke your voise soft and macke mistackes. MAKE IT LOUD! THAT IS ANOTHER THING THAT WILL CATCH THE PEOPLES ATTENTION.
3. Practice, practice, practice! YOU already know why YOU have to practice, practice, practice.
4. The opening sentence is an important sentence. Always make it very interesting. WARNING: IF YOU MAKE THE TOPIC SENTENCE BORING, YOU HAVE A LESS CHANCE TO GO TO THE FINALS!!!!!!!!!
And, last but not least,
5. Don’t get upset if your speech does not get picked. Hold your head high and know that you at least tried, and that’s the most important thing.
Oh, and some advice to my fellow speech writers: MEMORIZE YOUR SPEECH!!!!!!!

March 30, 2009 at 6:17 pm (15 years ago)The top 5 things I learned from the process of giving speeches are:
1. Try to pick a topic you and your audience would be interested in listening to.
2. You have to speak loud and clear so everyone can hear you and you should be confident when speaking.
3. Time your speech so that people enjoy your speech rather than getting all bored.
4. Try to make your speech convincing by putting supporting details and reasons.
5. Always remember, a competition is not all about winning or losing. It’s the effort and hard work you put in that counts. 😀
One piece of advice I would to anyone who will be giving a speech is; when you are talking, try to put in as much expression as you can and even if you forget a part of your speech, don’t stop, put in appropriate words by yourself. Be clear in your mind and you’ll know what to say. Last but not least, TRY YOUR VERY BEST!

March 30, 2009 at 6:45 pm (15 years ago)Writing a speech needs a lot of work and there’s gotta be thought in it………….Here are five things that I learned.
1.When someone does a speech it has to be well prepared and have a lot of information.
2.It has to be memorized a lot so the person doing the speech isn’t looking at his/her paper all the time.
3.It has to have a good opening and closing to get the audience’s attention.
4.When someone is saying a speech he/she must have a clear, loud voice and it has to have expression.
5.The speech time has to be between three to five minutes long.
My advice to people is when you get up on stage to do your speech you’ll be nervous at first but then after a minute you’ll get use to the idea and it won’t be so bad and It’s very important to practice your speech a lot.
