Introduce yourself

Your Goal

Give a speech about yourself.

Background

In the second speech project, you will deal with an interesting but complex subject: You! Introduce yourself to the audience so that they learn to know you better.

There are different ways how you could approach the speech:

Give a summary of your life in chronological order.
Pick 3 aspects of your life and tell about them.
Describe a single event that matters to you.

Don't try to put in too much content. Your life contains material for many speeches.

Things to be careful with

Topics you wouldn't tell a stranger you just met, for instance:

bragging
addictions
your crime record
diseases
divorces
other kinds of mischief ..

.. unless of course you would tell a stranger.

Time

4-6 minutes

Questions for evaluators
