Dear students,
Instructions for both speeches are almost similar to the introductory speech. Please take note of the reminders below. Thank you.
1. You are given six minutes to deliver your speeches with first warning given after five minutes and last warning after six minutes (if you disobey, you can lose substantial marks).
2. You are also strongly encouraged to accompany your speech with multimedia presentation (e.g. PowerPoint, Prezi, Flash etc ).
3. If you include any multimedia items e.g. videos, flash files, please ensure that item duration + speech duration do not exceed the the speech time limit.
4. You need to submit your preparation outline (please refer to Chapter 11 and blog for examples) before the presentation. Failure to do so may cause you to be disallowed from presenting.
