Give a speech that takes a clear stand about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Instead of just giving information about the memorial, your speech must present an argument about a
controversy related to the memorial. Is it a proper memorial for veterans? Was the architect
qualified to design the memorial? These are just two examples: You decide which controversy to
explore.
Your speech must include a claim, introduction, body, and conclusion, but the speech doesn't
have to be written out word for word like an essay. Instead, you should use an outline to help you
keep track of what you are going to say. Make sure your outline gives you enough information
that you always know what to say when you're presenting, but not so much information that you
get confused or lost.
Finally, remember to respond to at least one counterclaim and to support your own arguments
with evidence. You want to make it clear that you've considered many different perspectives.
