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!

See you~

A Five-minute Speech

Matt Harding went all over the world and made videos of himself doing funny dances with local people. Click HERE to see his video.

Then Matt did a 5-minute speech explaining how his "silly dance" videos were organized. Click HERE to see his presentation.



Please write a comment about what you think of the video and his presentation(don't forget your name and write T2 or T3!).

Ice-breaker Speech

Next class we will prepare an ice-breaker speech. It should be about 2 minutes long (one or three is ok!) and the topic is about YOU! Here are some ideas for your speech:

-Year by Year (tell about your life from birth until today)
-Your Interests (tell about what you love)
-Common Theme (what is something that constantly happens in your life?)
-Key Event (tell about an important event in your life)
-How I Got Here (talk about decisions and events that got you to TUFS)

Also, click HERE to watch a video of an ice-breaker speech. Then write a comment on our blog about what you liked about her speech.

Welcome back!
