.Write a speech to be given in a school assembly, giving your views on whether or not students should participate in decisions made about the school.

Create an outline addressing those points and your speech will be written in an hour!

Explanation:

Step 1:

Intro: Tell them what you're going to tell them (4-5 sentences)

At the bottom of the intro, have a one sentence thesis statement (or main idea of your speech that summarizes into three big ideas.)

Step 2:

Body: Tell Them

Step 3:

Conclusion: Tell them what you told them

Give a more detailed spin on why you feel the way you do about your points (keep it in THIRD PERSON) and then restate your thesis. Here's an example that I wrote for a class yesterday:

Good Luck! This is a recipe for essays and speeches that I've used for several decades. Keep things organized and have your thoughts sketched out ahead of time by using this kind of template and you'll be an essay/speech writing whiz in no time!
