CCC Commencement Speech at Graduation
For Speech 4 you are required to give a speech for a special occasion. Select from one of the following situations:
1. You are receiving an full-ride scholarship from Appalachian State University (you can use any university in the US) and have to give an acceptance speech.
2. You are giving an award for great community service to a individual.
3. You have been selected to give the commencement speech at your high school.
Keep the following in mind :
1. You must convince your audience that you are grateful for the opportunity to speak with them. (A little emotionalism is a good thing here.)
2. You must establish your credibility, use facts to support your talk, and (the most important) you must be genuine with your comments.
3. Yes, you can have a little fun with this one, but keep it professional.
4. Remember the golden rule “make your talk audience specific”
A good speech is one that is fully researched, prepared, and thought out. Like a written paper it must have a exact structure which allows you to:
1. Tell me what you are going to tell me.
2. Tell me.
3. Tell me what you told me (summarize).
