2nd Speech—The Tribute Speech (10% of your grade) is 5-7 minutes long and includes a minimum of three (3) sources cited OUT LOUD during the speech.
One of the forms of public speaking that we do not do enough is paying tribute to another human being. There are many occasions for giving a tribute: family gatherings, weddings, graduations, retirements, special birthdays, etc. This presentation will be an opportunity for you to practice such a speech.
Choose someone important to you—who touched your life or impressed you—and share three aspects about this individual. The person (should be researchable) you choose could be a family member, friend, teacher, coach, pastor, musician, writer, sports celebrity, etc. The honoree must be living (the assignment is not a eulogy).
Please review the Phylicia Rashād Outline Preparation outline example and the PowerPoint presentation.
