You Can Write Speeches and Debates

When your teacher assigns a speech, do you smile or groan? You may be nervous about the idea of public speaking. You may not be sure how to pick a topic, research it, write the speech, and present it to an audience. Authors Roy and Haney have some good ideas for you! In You Can Write Speeches and Debates, they show you how to organize your thoughts and present them clearly. You will be able to persuade, inform, or even amuse your listeners. And the authors explain how to plan and participate in a debate -- in which you square off against other speakers and try to get the judges to see your side of an issue. Once you know how, writing and presenting speeches and debates can be fun!
