Public Speaking
The Introduction Speech:
Two-Minute Speech Introducing a Classmate
This speech will be delivered extemporaneously from brief notes that occupy no more than
one side of a single 4 x 6 index card. Do your best to not simply read your speech; you
should use as much eye contact as possible.
In preparation for the speech, you will pair off with an assigned student and interview one
another.
In your speech, you will need to provide basic information such as the name of the person
you are introducing, his or her home town, grade, personal interests, hobbies, aspirations,
and the like. But the speech should not be a routine recitation of biographical data. Be
creative in your interview questions and in your speech.
This speech is worth 50 points (see rubric) and is due ___________________.
