Let your voice be heard at WoW - World of Words

Project

Have you ever listened to a speech and thought, “Wow – that was truly inspiring,” or perhaps, “Wow – I could have done that better myself”? It’s easy to be a critic – but it’s not easy to steal the show.

As your school prepares to host a speech competition, you now have the opportunity to test your mettle by creating an ad, preparing and performing your own speech, and, finally, winning. It’s time to wow the audience!

You might be wondering: Where do I even begin? Don’t fret!

In this learning project, you will…

• …create an ad for you school’s speech competition.
• …learn to convince emotionally by considering register, tone, and stylistic devices.
• …learn to convince logically by analyzing argument types and by arguing properly.

• ...write a speech.
• ...perform a speech.

By the end of this project, you may well find yourself standing on stage as the winner of your school’s speech competition.

So, what are you waiting for? Let your voice be heard and delve into the world of words!
