I think a great how to speech is to show how to make origami.  It can be a little confusing to explain but if you're up for the challenge and pick something not too difficult, I think the class will like that.  Another idea would be to make something they could eat but it wouldn't require baking or cooking. Some treat like trail mix would be cool.  Good luck!

The speech/essay needs to be personal.  If you pick a topic that you are familiar with and then try to relate it to a topic that will face all you peers in the near future.  I assume that this is a speech that will be given at graduation ceremony, so try to make it 5-10 mins long.  If you have a favorite story about your school, maybe an event that occurred during a school function would be best, like a winning touch down or anything else that will bring the students together.  But, do not try to sound too mature or "out of your league."  Just try to keep it simple and down to earth.  Good Luck!!!!

A project in what subject?
143967
Social Studies fair project is a big topic.  I am also not sure what grade you are in...so I am not sure if this is a good answer.  How about pick a topic (women's rights, discrimination, drugs, safety, world news, current events) and do a survey.  You can print up question sheets and have your friends, family, and classmates answer them.  For your fair, you can present your findings on a poster or something.

There are numerous topics you could cover. Here's some topics that you can start with for your speech (they're based on current events):\n\n- Gas Prices: Will they continue to go up or down?\n- Will we travel in Space like we travel in cars in the near future?\n- Will we have a republican in the White house as our next president?\n- Will we have books in the future or will everthing be on computers?\n- Will robots become our new pets?\n- How small will cell phones get?\n- What is the future of music?\n- Will human genetics be able to be changed in the future?\n- Will extraterrestrials ever visit earth?\n- Will the war end in Iraq?\n\nThese questions should help you to flesh out what you want to say. You'll need to do some research on the topics though, but they are broad enough topics to get you started on your speech.\n\nHope that helps!\n\n~JYH

What's interesting to you may not be interesting to someone else.  So who is the speech going to be given to??  Think about the group you will be speaking to, then try to figure out what would be interesting to THEM (take into consideration things like their aprox. age group, their jobs, probably hobbies, etc.).  Good luck!

Abortion, War in Iraq, Euthanasia, President Bush, anything controversial, just make sure you know what side your teacher is on, considering she will be the one grading you.\n\nGood Luck and God bless.

well im in high school but heres my idea. advertise it to the whole school but talk to a few students you would think would really want to do it(book worms...) and let the kids choose a book but make sure its grade appropriate

Another "usual one"--stem cell research a.k.a "Using your twin brother for spare parts"...  oh, let's not forget genetically modified products. \n\nBut writing about something that you don't hear about every day is a better idea. Most people have already formed an opinion about where they stand on these "big issues" and are usually less willing to even read your paper if it goes against their "beliefs". Your teacher might give you a credit for picking a topic that is less debated by general public. For example: "reintroducing wolves into the environment", "rebuilding houses destroyed by floods, fires and earthquakes in places where they will be likely destroyed by the same few years down the road"....

Recruiting through the internet. I thing that will be a nice topic for a project. You can find loads of information through the internet.

Ask the teacher what project she's always wanted to see done but hasn't.  This will get a great idea and will get you extra points with her at the same time.

illegal immigration\nembryonic stem cell research and use\nenergy (oil drilling in ANWR, foreign dependency, alternative sources)\nmedication use (for instance, drugs should/should not be used to treat depression because...)\nvaccinations\nwhat should be taught in public schools about a topic (such as sex and religion)\nshould parents know when kids go on birth control\ndrug advertisements (should/should not be used, may alter what doctors/patients think/choose, etc.)\norgan donation\nanother idea is to pick a law and say whether it's good/bad & why, should it change, etc.\nmake sure the topic you choose is age and school appropriate (for instance, if you're 11, talking about birth control and sex might not be the best choice)

Use universal topics such as love/hate, peace/war, charity/greed,\nselfish/unselfish, etc.

You know your campus better than any of us.  What is an issue on your campus? Are people polarized about the war in Iraq? Legalizing marijuana? Selling beer at football games?  Can men be the victims of domestic violence? Was Carlsbad really a government conspiracy to hide the truth about aliens? Anything that you can get people to argue about could be a good topic for a persuasive speech.  Then you take a side, any side, and argue persuasively for that side.   I have my students do their next persuasive paper arguing the reverse side of the issue.   The following websites has dozens of ideas for persuasive topics.  Good luck.
