Introduction Begin with an attention getter: The attention-getter is designed to capture the interest of the audience and to motivate them to listen attentively for the next several minutes. Some of the more common ones include using a story, a rhetorical question, or a quotation.

Begin with a story: One dark summer night in 1849, a young woman in her 20's left Bucktown, Maryland, and followed the North Star. What was her name? Harriet Tubman. She went back some 19 times to rescue her fellow slaves. And as James Blockson relates in a 1984 issue of National Geographic, by the end of her career, she had a $40, price on her head. This was quite a compliment from her enemies. Introduction

Begin with a quotation: If the quote is from a well-known source begin with the author first. If from an unknown or obscure source begin with the quote first. Example: "No day dawns for the slave, nor is it looked for. It is all night--night forever...." This quote was taken from Jermain Loguen, a fugitive who was the son of his Tennessee master and a slave woman. Introduction

Begin with an unusual statement: "Follow the drinking gourd. That's what I said, friend, follow the drinking gourd." This phrase was used by slaves as a coded message to mean the Big Dipper, which revealed the North Star, and pointed toward freedom. Introduction

Begin with a question to arouse curiosity. ■ Have you ever stood in a freezing river at 5 o'clock in the morning by choice? ■ Have you ever heard of a railroad with no tracks, with secret stations, and whose conductors were considered criminals? Introduction

Begin with a shocking statistic: Today, John Elway's talents are worth millions, but in 1840 the price of a human life, a slave, was worth $ 1,

Introduction to Speech Contest Part 2: Choose a Topic Katie Houvener Cypress Ridge Elementary

How to Find a Topic? Tip #1: Look in your room at home for things or objects that hold a special memory or remind you of a story, goal a wish, ambition or achievement. Tip #2: Talk about something or someone you feel passionate about.

How to Find a Topic? Think about a person who has touched your life or many other lives. What special or unusual experiences have you had? What are your hobbies? What would you like to know more about?

How to Find a Topic? Often information speeches are about objects that focus on things existing in the world: people, places, things, animals or products. Information speeches can focus on events: World Series, Super Bowl, President inauguration, Ground Hog’s Day, birthday, funeral, wedding. Also Information speeches can focus on concepts: ideas, beliefs, and theories.

List of Topic Ideas: Treasured possession Favorite trip Favorite family vacation Favorite pet Family member Family tradition Favorite pet story Unusual landmark Favorite place
