Impromptu Speech

Impromptu Speech: 50 points
This is an extemporaneous speech. You will be given a list of topics and a limited time to prepare. The speech will be based on your existing knowledge on the subject. You will construct an outline and give your speech “off the cuff” if you will.

We will use this site to prepare:

Here are some of the considerations you will use:

• That will demonstrate your expertise.
• That is related to the purpose of the meeting.
• You feel most confident about.
• You like to talk about.
• You can speak off the cuff within one to five minutes.

Here are some questions that will help you develop your speech.

• What's the purpose of the meeting?
• What exactly is going to happen?
• What do I think of it?
• What is my opinion? Do I like it or not?
• What are the latest news, trends, problems, policy issues

We will review possible scenarios in class.
