Need a Topic for my Speech
I just found out that I have to give a speech in front of my english class. I have a month before I have to deliver it, and wanted to get a head start. The objectives are to strive to speak without any notes; which is why I want to start early to practice.
I can basically pick any topic I want. The topic has to have a general and specific purpose, with a beginning, body, and conclusion to reinforce the purpose. Does anyone have any ideas for a topic that would really catch my classmates attention and ensure I get a good grade?
Id really appreciate it!

I'm going to give you a really important tip. When you have to give a speech without notes, don't write it ahead of time and try to memorize it. If you do, first off it will be really hard, and second off, if you forget anything when the time comes you'll have no idea what to say. Pick something that you do a lot and know a lot about. Do you play a sport? Take care of animals? Babysit? Go through a typical day in your head and write down everything that you do and pick something that you talk a lot about in real life. Make an outline for your speech. Lets say you decide to talk about soccer. Your outline would include things like "why I decided to play", "skills", "rules", "attitude", "why I like it", "would I recommend it to other people". Then you can spice up your speech. Wear a soccer jersey and hold a soccer ball while you're talking. And just TALK! If you don't know what to say just remember one of the topics in your outline and start talking about the next topic. Practice in front of a mirror or stuffed animals and then once you feel more comfortable, practice in front of your family. It will get easier and easier the more times you do it. You have a whole month to prepare. I think you will do really well. Good luck!

I've done my share of speeches and i absolutely hate them, so good for you, for wanting to start earlier. There are a lot of topics out there you could do that can be successful. Make sure its something personal, or enjoy so its easier to memorize. Here are a few examples i thought were good:
-don't state the topic right away, instead give hints towards what is throughout the speech and in the end tell the audience what it is
- talk about how stressful speeches are or the future and pressures on teenager
-talk about a current event and give detailed facts about it that will give your audience something to enjoy
-one i found intresting is talking about teenagers. This topic can be funny (talk about the humerous events that occur) or streesfu l events and how hard our lives really are
hope i helped! Good Luck
