Special Occasion speech: Oct 11-13

Special Occasion Speech
This is a speech of your choosing where you will create a speech based on the occasion. This speech can be fabricated or true to life. You must adapt your speech to the original outline format and include any included sources. You will have 3-5 minutes for this speech. You must create and perform this speech. Prior to giving the speech, you must set up the mood and describe the occasion. (hint: this should be the introduction!!)
Two major differences with this speech will be with the preview / summary and powerpoint. Some speeches may not need or work with these structures attributes. However, you will need an introduction and conclusion. You will need a powerpoint for this speech, however, it may serve more as a backdrop and visual support rather than an aide for your speech. You can have a minimum of one slide, two if you are citing sources.
Please see me if you feel that your speech will not follow any of the above structures.
