Internet Examples

[Assignment] 60 Second Speech: Show-and-Tell

Background Info.

Show and tell is a fond memory of elementary school for many students. As students get older, the opportunities for them to share something personal and fun are less frequent. This 60 Second Speech assignment will give students an opportunity to practice their public speaking while doing something fun.

Directions

Think of an object such as a piece of moon rock your uncle gave you, your lucky rabbit's foot, or your T206 Honus Wagner baseball card that has significant personal meaning to you. You will create a PowerPoint and write a presentation explaining why this particular item is important to you.

You MAY bring your object to school under the following conditions:

1. It must be school appropriate.
2. It must be small enough to be easily carried and fit into your locker.
3. YOU will be responsible for it. Objects cannot be left in my classroom overnight. If it is lost, damaged, or stolen it is your responsibility.

There will be a 60 Second Speech assignment each quarter for the rest of the year. Students must choose two of the remaining three presentations to prepare and deliver.

Writing the Speech

Using this information you will need to plan and write a speech that should take 60 seconds to present. Usually, five to seven paragraphs is required to discuss all of the required information. When planning and writing your speech please make sure that you:

1. Introduce yourself to the audience.
2. Tell the audience what your topic is.
3. Discuss and explain why this item is important to you.
4. Thank the audience at the end.

You are required to have a hard-copy of your speech when you present. You can either print it out OR write it down on index cards.

The PowerPoint

Students will also create a PowerPoint to present along with the speech.

Rule #1 of every 60 Second Speech assignment is DO NOT READ DIRECTLY FROM THE POWERPOINT.

The PowerPoint is meant to be a visual aid for the speech, not the focus of the presentation. Your PowerPoint should include the following slides:

1. TITLE SLIDE with NAME, TOPIC, and PICTURE OF OBJECT.
2. WHAT the object is.
3. WHY it is important to you.
4. CONCLUSION SLIDE

Pro-Tips for Great Slides

• Bullet points are usually better than sentences.
• No more than three or four bullet points per slide.
• Use a LARGE font so the audience can read it.
• Make sure the BACKGROUND and FONT COLOR contrast. (e.g. dark background with light font OR light background with dark font)
• No more than one or two pictures per slide.
• Keep sound effects and crazy transitions/animations to a minimum.

Speech and PowerPoint Rubric

Rubric coming soon.

Presentation Dates

• Presentations will begin the week of December 16, 201.
• A specific presentation order will be determined in class. Students will know at least one week before their scheduled presentation date.
• If you are not prepared on your assigned day you can earn 50% credit if you present the following class period.
• Students that are absent on their scheduled day will need to make-up their presentation during the next class period.
