Any controversial political issue is a good topic for a persuasive speech.  Some good topics are gun control, illegal immigration, gay marriage, universal health care, drug policy and affirmative action.  Choose a topic and decide what position you want to take.  A good website where you can research numerous political issues is http://www.politics1.com  They've got most of the major issues there and links to pro and con websites.

Education , Environment , National Unity , Patriotism , Family Planning, Female Foeticide , etc. are good topics for writing slogans !!!\nFor example, on Environment it can be " Each One, Plant One" !!!

Be unique and let your writing speak for itself. Write a paper giving your opinion on a controversial matter or a hot topic in your school or community. Then either hang it up or pass it out at your school - campaigning with something like "Vote for me - School Journalist" or something similar to that.  Good Luck.

Hey, you gotta pick SOMEONE- it might as well be me since you sure as hell don't seem to want to do this boring, pointless, and thankless job.\n\n\nSorry, that's the best I can do without knowing a name to make a rhyme or catchy slogan to.

The only way to pick a good subject is by knowing the audience the speech is meant for.\nIf you dont need to hold that speech and its just for theory then I would pick some urban myth and present the true facts, that works in most cases.

Well i cant really say what things to SAY at the start, but make sure u dont put too much humour at the start. Small instances or anecdotes will do fine, but the humour should come in patches. As a result audience's interest will always be there. And end the speech in such a way so that it dosent seem something was missing. To end, u can ask questions to the audience. Never say that "i guess thats all i had to say, so i'll stop" It will create a bad impression.\n\nU say u want to say about skydiving etc. I think u better not do it. Cuz by doing that, u'll be drifting away from ur main topic, and the audience will not like that. Always remember the audience will be there to listen on THE topic and not the things u like and want to say...\n\nAnyways, best of luck with your speech !

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!

Use an old paper that you got an A on and turn it into a speech.  I did this often in my speech class... I'd take an essay I had to write for english (with a good grade) and make a speech out of it.  Chose something you feel passionate about (this is important - because if you get lost during the speech, you can say anything that comes to mind)... write up an intro, three points, and a conclusion.  Simple.

You are supposed to write your own speech, duh.  Of course, I could write one for you, but if I do, you have to give me the prize.\n\nAnd, while you are at it, learn how to spell the word "speech."

wat kind of speech ??????

I forget, can the 'visualize' part of Monroe's Motivated Sequence be used to depict something you think we should -avoid-?  In that case I'd suggest a speech/paper about the eroding privacy and citizens' rights in the US wherein the "visualize" stage describes a 1984-esque scenario that could occur if we don't take action now ... er, or if that's not something you agree with/believe in I suppose you could always do one of the generic topics like urging folks to recycle, buy hybrid cars, cut back on fast food consumption, exercise more, etc ... or heck, MMS is often used as a "selling" strategy, isn't it?  If you're into stuff like this perhaps you could use it to urge folks to go out and buy, I dunno, a Nintendo Wii or a PS3 when they come out ... ?

...Ummm, you should do one that contains words or phrases that relate to you and your position. Like the slogan should include your name and the position you run for. For example, "Grace"...Vote for Grace, so she can win the race. Vote for me, Billy Lee, for vp.(vice president)\n\nUmmm, if your name is Ash- from your screename, you can do like...Vote for ash to get some cash! (Nah, one would break that promise- Vote for Ash to bring the school and you some cash) ...How you make slogans, try using some rhyme in it.
