I need to do an informative speech on an aspect of Brazil or Cape Verde... Like dress, music, culture... ect. What should I do, and where can I find some great information and pictures?

Well, I don't know about Cape Verde, but there are lots of great sources of information on the net regarding Brazil. The wikipedia has a quite accurate and thorough description of our history and culture. \n\nYou can also use one of those file-sharing programs to find songs by some of our most famous composers, like Pixinguinha, Ary Barroso, João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, among others. \nI use DC++ and it's very easy to find tons of their songs.

If you want to get people's attention and/or probably make some of them mad, you should do a speech on the "wedge" issues (as Lou Dobbs calls them) between Republicans and Democrats, environmental issues, lowering the drinking age, abortion, foreign policy, drugs legal/illegal. Another thing is to find an issue that is at least semi-interesting within your local/state community, like something in the news perhaps, or an on going problem, or why to outlaw something, or make something into a law.

Start with wikipedia.  Their article on pineapples is very informative and they have some great links at the bottom of the page to other good resources.

Wikipedia is a good place to start - under the government entry for each country you should be able to find a list of the majoar parties in that country.  Then some googling should give you some info on each of them.

Do it on the president.   That would also be a good way to learn some  more also!

Can you use electronics at all...or just not Powerpoint, because I'm sure other people will probably use music/video clips and pictures. People today need massive visual stimulation. \n\nMaybe use humorous "illustrations" of your points by using clips from popular songs, t.v. shows, and movies. Make sure that most people would get the reference. \n\nIf you can't use electronic stuff... I did I speech once about Hillary Clinton's life, where I pulled "random" people from the audience (ok, i admit i had told the first 2 people about it before the speech to help along volunteers) and told them they were going to statues of points in Hillary Clinton's life. I told them that I would do the positioning of their hands and stuff... not telling them or the audience what exact position or its relevance to my speech until I got finished. The first person I put in fetal position, the second I had like they were thowing a bridal bouquet over their shoulder, ... and so on. I had the statues stay there in a line, in position, while I proceeded to the next, so that my conclusion would be easy to do.. just point to the statues to demonstrate your points. You could utilize a similiar idea for "me outside the office" by posing people in the activities you do outside of work.

Roberto GUIMARÃES CARVALHO\n\nis the best answer I could find. I am not a student of Portuguese: but if you are, your best bet for information is directly from the Brazilian Navy's website at http://www.mar.mil.br\n\nif you'd like more information, you could contact the Brazilian Embassy . In North America, their website pertaining to the Brazilian Navy can be found at: http://www.brasilemb.org/adneuc/pessoal_en.htm\n\nHopefully, this points you in the right direction.

The best idea is to take something from current news:  The immigration law "reforms" being contemplated by the American Congress, for example.  The political and social questions that matter in your own area, or something from the world scene.\n\nThe other thing you can do is take a broad view of culture, or of a particular medium of culture, such as movies or music, and make a case for or against a particular analysis of its long-term significance.  \n\nFor example, what would you have said in 1965 if asked about the long-term impact of the Beatles?  Could you have predicted the path of the music industry?  The collectibles market?  Indian sitar music and imported goods from India?\n\nOK, view a current phenomenon like the new film project to produce the Chronicles of Narnia.  That's a fairly old set of books, after all.  What is the impact on young people today of having these stories come to life through the magic of filmmaking?  Stories they share with their grandparents!\n\nYou see, topics are all around you!

Here is a cute idea I am not sure if you're interested:\n\nPart of your presentation start with "le tour de France" Which introduces the history, foods, about the people etc\n\nAnd then make up a little brochure type deal discussing the geography food could also go here, sites and other maybe interesting history also maybe throw in a few interesting words you like or sentences\n\nfinish up with the language and population etc
