Every single student in Year 7 and 8 prepared a speech and presented to the class. From these, semifinalists were selected to present their speeches to Miss Gifford and Mrs Fowler, who chose five Year 7 finalists and 5 Year 8 finalists.
This is from the MC's script:
In preparation for the speech competition, we learned persuasive writing skills and pubic speaking skills, including voice projection, so the speeches are presented without a microphone.
The adjudicator is looking for a 3-minute persuasive speech, delivered clearly, confidently and fluently, using good volume and appropriate expression – but it is not a dramatic performance.
The speech should have an interesting introduction, a mix of research, personal information and opinion. It should flow logically and have a relevant conclusion.
The speakers must use cue cards and have eye contact with the audience.
And finally, the speech must capture and maintain the audience’s interest, persuade you to think or feel as the speaker does and leave you with something to think about at the end.
Here are the finalists and their speech topics.
