3 minute speeches

A task sheet running step-by-step through the process of making a speech, as well as a list of suggested topics.

Students choose from 15 topical issues including schooling, tobacco and alcohol advertising, family holidays, gender roles, the internet, animal welfare, science, sports teams, democracy, the fashion industry, immortality, TV, religion and communication. Students persuade their audience with their line of argument.

Any of the topics would also work well for a class debate.
