Students should be working on a first draft of their body paragraphs that reflects the outline they have put together from their research.
Students may have between 2 - 5 body paragraphs.
Remember, each paragraph should have a topic sentence, key words and a concluding sentence that ties into the main topic of the speech.
We will work on the "polishing" in class, so don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect right away.
Length- A Rough Guideline
The entire speech is between 3- 5 minutes, so the entire speech would contain around 600-700 words.
Depending on the introduction and conclusion then, the body should contain between 400-500 words.
This is just a guideline. At this point, get as much information as you can into your speech, and when it is completed and you practice, it may be necessary to add or delete to get the timing correct.
