Speech Project

Below are several links to different famous speeches or speeches from movies.
Your task is to decide on a speech, listen to the speech using the mp3 file player (If this option is available).
(Please use the headphones)

When you have decided on speech begin to practice your speech. When you think you are ready, perform it to a friend.
Work together with your friend to perfect the speeches. You do not need to know them by heart. Be ready to perform to the class later in the lesson tomorrow.

Choose from one of the speeches below:
