The Reader's Digest Speech
The purpose of this speech is to reduce a cumbersome amount of information to a useable body of data, then organize that data into a presentation that is meaningful to an audience.
You should pick a controversial issue (that is, one on which more than one reasonable person can disagree) and present the views of three to five experts on the subject. Choose a topic that is relevant to you and your views. Something that means something to you.
Here are some ideas for topics:
How to Handle Natural Disasters such as Hurricanes
Women in Politics
Celebrities as Role Models
Professional Athletes Payscale: Men v. Women
The views can be organized using a wide variety of means, but they should not merely be organized one expert at a time.
You will be graded on:
-your organization
-your clarity of presentation
-the completeness of the criteria and how you organize it to support your claims
-time
Visual aids are allowed but not assigned.
The time limit is 5 minutes.
THIS SPEECH WILL BE GIVEN September 16th.
