Presentation Topics

Hi everybody! You all did such a great job improvising last class... I really enjoyed listening to you - so funny!!!!
Please think of 3 topics that you might want to choose for your first presentation and write them in the comments. Next class we will brainstorm all three topics, choose one, organize your presentation and create a good opening!

A speech that you give without any preparation is called "improvised". These can be the most difficult kind of speeches, but also the most fun!

Next class we will learn how to improvise with some tips and lots of practice.

Watch the video of an American guy named Tam deliver an improvised speech. The teacher gives him the topic "Pokemon" and he has to make a speech. The topic then changes during his speech to "Pikachu" then "spells" and the teacher keeps changing the topic. Click HERE to watch then tell me what you think in the comments.

Let's try it next class!
