I never prepare for my speeches. When i do my speeches, I try my best to present my speech like how a lecturer in university would teach his/her students

the best method is to just learn the right words and try to include everything necessary.

Try your best not to do a speech based on palm cards, because if you do, you tend to read out loud instead of executing the task properly.

Besides when you use body gestures, you tend to make sense, even without the palm cards.

Palm cards are only necessary for remembering points of your argument.

we did that in first term with the texts 1984, i chose scar tissue is a related text and talked about the power of drug addiction

what i learned was:
teachers dont think drug addiction is a power.
i also learned that if you argue that it is for long enough you can get 13/15 instead of 8/15

speeches are MUCH better when theyre more natural.
write about 10 palm cards with notes on each point your making with one for an intro and one for a conclusion

learn about 20 "big words" and throw them in there

I'm really starting to get stressed about this. At my school we're doing a 3-5 min speech using one prescribed and one chosen text, and how they relate to the concept of power. The two texts I'm using are In Flanders Fields (McCrae) and 1984 (Orwell).

The advice here about just going without notes is reassuring. Really.

Right now I wish I was in the Advanced class, where they get to do 1984 in class, whereas over here in Standard, we have to do... poetry.
