Valedictorian Speech?
One of the most challenging and important aspects of writing a speech is getting organized. Well organized speeches are not only easier to follow, but more memorable. It’s one of the keys to successful public speaking. A simple technique that I use is called the 3-of-3 method . It helps to keep the speech focused. The speech is begins with a main idea, and is broken down to three main points. Each point has its respecive supporting statements. When preparing a speech its important to remember the time limitations. Divide the time accross each part of the speech. This helps in knowing how much or how little information to include in each segment. For example, the ice breaker speech has 4-6 minutes alloted. When preparing the speech outline, plan 1 min for the opening, 3 minutes for the body, and 1 minute for the conclusion. Here is a sample outline: Opening (1 min max) Body (3 mins max) 1. Point 2. Point 3. Point Conclusion (1 min max) some tips to those who are beginning their journey. 1. Perfection isn’t manditory. This is your first speech. Go easy on yourself. The main purpose is to begin speaking before an audience. 2. Watch your time. The first speech is the shortest. You only have 4-6 minutes. Make it short. Try not to go over time. 3. Use note cards. Don’t burden yourself with the need to memorize your speech word for word. Also don’t read your speech word for word. Use note cards to help you remember key points. 4. Practice, practice, practice. By practicing your speech you will feel more confident. Also you will be less reliant on your notes. Ask your friends or family to listen to your speech. 5. Share more about yourself. Your fellow club members want to get to know you. Include information about yourself. What are your interests? What do you do for a living? Hope this helps.

How does my grade 8 valedictorian speech sound? Help Me pleaase, ASAP!?
students So Ladies and Gentlemen, as we face and tackle the inevitable, hold true to yourself. Remember to hold onto your value system, your work ethic and most importantly, your humanity. It is these qualities that will guide you further on your journey. Mr.Denby, a teacher who by now we all know a very intelligent man, on multiple occasions has compared our elementary years to a buffet. Delicious! These past years have catered to us the variety of opportunities before us. John McCrae especially has guided us and taught us what is tasteful for our particular interests. So as we move forward to high school we are able to choose what best accommodates our taste buds. Today's achievements may fade or even be forgotten. The applause may become a distant memory and our certificates and medals may gather dust on a shelf or in a drawer.

Well first off, congratulations on being valedictorian ! I think your speech should be longer, it's supposed to be from 3 - 4 minutes.
