Tips for Creating a Great Speech
I have created a slide show of tips for writing & giving great speeches that I gathered from various reliable sources.
Before I share it, let's see if you can predict what the tips are.
Work with the person/people at your table to come up with as many tips as you can think of.
Give yourself 1 point for each tip you guessed correctly.
The team with the most points will get a scratch & sniff bookmark :)

***Important Reminders:
Read articles from more than one source
