Daily Speeches

Speech Schedule Speech Evaluation

Speeches will be assigned by the teacher and you should know at least a week ahead of your scheduled day. News speeches are intended to help follow current events in our community. In that we are part of many different communities, the subject matter will pertain not only to the local area and nationally, but also on an international basis as well. Speeches should be approximately 3-5 minutes in length and must include the following minimum components in order to qualify for an "A" grade.

an opening (example given in class)

at least 3 stories dealing with international news

at least 3 stories dealing with national news (incl. at least 1 on National Politics)

at least 3 stories dealing with local news which encompasses Ohio, Cincinnati, and Indian Hill (the local stories should not all revolve around Indian Hill as we are intending to follow actual current news stories in our community

at least 1 quote from one of the stories

a closing (example given in class)

Other factors that impact your grade include:

eye contact
( If you write out your speech and read it, you will receive a "D" )

delivery (i.e. voice projection, pace, verbal pauses, pronunciations, visual aids, etc.)

Hints for success:

learn from other students' speeches

use a notecard(s)

ask how to pronounce difficult words/names ahead of time

have transition between your stories

have more than the minimum number of stories

prepare and practice as much as possible
