This speech will be a 4-5 informative speech in which you will demonstrate a skill. In essence, you will teach us how to do something such as bake a cake, change a tire, install a hard drive, etc. This speech is worth 100 points.

At least one visual aid is required for this speech. Your visual might be a poster, a PowerPoint, another person, or actual objects that you manipulate while speaking.

CAUTIONS: Because you are filming the speech, you may want to choose to teach a skill that allows you to remain somewhat stationary so the camera may see you at all times. Otherwise you will need to have someone operating the camera that can move with you efficiently. Also keep in mind that if you choose to use a PowerPoint, again your camera person must move back and forth between you and your slides effectively. Ensure that you choose a topic that allows you to make eye contact with your audience. You are being graded on your presentation – not your talent. Engage your audience, look at them, and speak clearly.

An outline is required for this speech. Please use the outline template under course documents. Do NOT write your speech out word for word. The outline is worth 25 points.
