Try to decide what are the major concerns that your class has.  Briefly address each issue and say how you feel about it and what you would do about it.  Be sure to say "thank you" at the end.

A good speech may go something like\n\nI am seeking the position of vice president of this academy and will do my best to present the ideas and agenda that is needed to move this academy forward.  I will promise to do my best to work with the other leaders of the academy to work twords common goals.  I will try my absolute hardest to address the concerns of the individuals of the academy.  I seek to help lead this academy to greatness and bring honor to the academy.  I can not promise I will never falter, I can only promise to do my very best.  All I ask from you is to give me a chance by voting for me for academy vice president.  I will not let you down, and I will give my best to the academy to which I will help represent. Thank You and God Bless

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.

Surely you have a few ideas considering you were elected in the first place. Someone must think your up for the job. Just be you and the ideas will come flowing out

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

1) Assess your audience\n2) Try to create 3 main points. Humans can remember things in 3s very easily\n3) Support your statements\n\nOH YEA, it helps to smile, and like the poster below me says, it doesnt hurt to tell a joke or life story related to the speech. give the audience something they can relate to.\n\nMost of all, practice, practice, practice.

Here is one suggestion:\n\nStart with a question like "What do you want out of a class president?"\n\nNext, tell them what they should want (your attributes of course)\n\nThen, show them how you fill the needs.\n\nI agree that humor is always a good idea.  Many times elections are about who you like and not about what was said.  Be friendly, open, and honest.\n\nAlso, you may want to speak to individuals in the class.  i.e. "Homer, you had trouble with this before, remember?"\n\nGood luck.

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!

I'll give you some suggestions:\n\nRalph Nader: The man knows what he's talking about but apparently America isn't ready to fess up to its flaws. Until then, we could only dream of having such a social conscious individual sit in that position. \n\nHillary Clinton: If she could work, with similar policies that Bill used to help the economy, we could all see ourselves getting on her bandwagon.\n\nHoward Dean: Everyone took his outburst and made him a crazy man. Thank the mainstream media for that loss. The guy has some real progressive ideas and would give the country a really jumpstart in energy in all aspects.\n\nJohn Edwards: Democrats picked the wrong guy to be ahead on the ticket last year. He's probably have all the right tools to be a great president.\n\nJohn McCain: Is as much of a firecracker as Dean and does a wonderful job of getting everyone together on the important issues of this country. The shakiest of my pics.\n\nHonorary Mention: Barrack Obama: He's a newbie, but I could really see him being a great president (if not now...very soon).

Use a topic that you believe in for your persuasive speech and back it up. Try a current event topic. How about, "Why black Americans should  stop using the n-word." Use the Michael Richardson or "Kramer" ranting as your basis. Good luck.
