1. Essential Tips for Writing a Speech

A good speech is like a good play, movie, or song. It is a form of entertainment. And like all entertainment, if it doesn't entertain, then the feedback is immediate.

There are not many classes that teach students how to write a speech, however there are many occasions in later life when we need to give a speech.

These tips will help your students to develop an effective speech. The tips aren't the normal ones (like, 'make sure your speech has a beginning, a middle and an ending'). They are from many years of personal experience. I've written speeches for all occasions and a variety of professions.

25 Plus pages of worksheets for students to practice these tips and then compile them all in to a speech for any purpose.
