Speech help

[Loftish v2]

I've been up to my ass studying for midterms all week and completely forgot until now I need to give a 5-7 minute informative speech on Thursday. If anyone's done a speech they might have saved, it would be amazing if you could PM it to me. The topic can basically be anything: I'm not sure yet what topic I would talk about if I have to write it, just something that can hold a college class' attention.

A comparison between WoW and Vanguard. I'll be expecting your check in the mail in the next few days.

Ahhh, I will surely win over the crowd with this one! Orrr I wouldn't even know where to begin as I haven't played any MMOs since EQ.

Topic:

What is your position on the role of government in supporting innovation in the field of biotechnology?

Start:

2 three minutes jokes

Speech body/conclusion:

Recent research has shown that empirical evidence for globalization of corporate innovation is very limited and as a corollary the market for technologies is shrinking. As a world leader, it's important for America to provide systematic research grants for our scientists. I believe strongly there will always be a need for us to have a well articulated innovation policy with emphasis on human resource development. Thank you.

With today's feel good college grading, I promise you'll get at least a C.

You can always discuss how "save the cheerleader, save the world!" applies to current global politics for a few minutes.

Of course, the two have absolutely nothing in fucking common, but I bet that topic would hold a class' attention, heh.

Lol Dabamf, you said before you're in Oxford right? You could give an informative speech for me about finding people over the internet to give informative speeches for you.

I've got an old speech labeled persuasive speech that I could send you, might work if you change it a little bit. By no measure is it my best work cause this speech class I took was a joke.

[Pub]

Actually I found an informative paper that i wrote for english comp a couple years back about the microwave, how it works etc. This one would work pretty well for an informative speech I think. Let me know if you want it, i'll be at home for another 90 mins before work.

[Bralkan]

if you don't have something your interested in enough to give an informative or how-to speech on it....

[...]

Tell them what you're going to tell them. tell them, then tell them what you just told them. makes the speech seem smoother and draws it out.

[Everlast]

Do a speech trying to convince the class that the earth is flat

[...]

In high school i did one of my informative speeches on procrastination, and how it's the way to go. I didn't even realy make a quality close, i just kind of said i'd do it later.

[Loftish v2]

I gave the speech today and felt really confident about how I did. I ended up doing it about microwaves and by keeping it in simple terms and giving just a general overview, I think I kept the audience interested while still teaching them something.

I also just got an e-mail evaluation back from the professor (quick turn around time!) and I got an A- on the speech.

A special thanks to Pub for helping me out with the topic as well as his paper which I used to create my outline for the speech.
