2nd Speech—The Tribute Speech (10% of your grade) is 5-7 minutes long and includes a minimum of three (3) sources cited OUT LOUD during the speech.
One of the forms of public speaking that we do not do enough is paying tribute to another human being. There are many occasions for giving a tribute: family gatherings, weddings, graduations, retirements, special birthdays, etc. This presentation will be an opportunity for you to practice such a speech.
Choose someone important to you—who touched your life or impressed you—and share three aspects about this individual. The person (should be researchable) you choose could be a family member, friend, teacher, coach, pastor, musician, writer, sports celebrity, etc. The honoree must be living (the assignment is not a eulogy).
Please review the Phylicia Rashād Outline Preparation outline example and the PowerPoint presentation.
For this speech, you will identify one interesting person and prepare a 5-7 minute speech on this person.

The purpose of this speech is to commemorate someone using one of two speech genres. You will have between two and three minutes to honor someone through a toast or a eulogy.
If you choose a toast, pretend one of your friends is getting married. Raise a glass and tell stories that honor the couple and the choice to get married. You should bring in a beverage and cups so everyone in the audience can raise their glass to the happy couple.
If you choose a eulogy, you will be providing the funeral oration for a fictional character. Create a memorial picture of the character to display next to you while you are performing the speech. Be sure to honor the person’s life, as well as the need of the audience to mourn and rejoice.
In writing your speech, adhere to the following rules:
The speech does not have to follow an outline, but, rather, should follow a narrative organizational pattern. In other words, you should tell a story. The organization should, however, make sense and be easy to follow.
Use Chapter 18 in your course textbook as a guide for writing your speech. The text has lots of good tips for writing these speeches.
The speech should have authenticity. Think about how you will convey appropriate emotions through your vocal variety, pitch, and tone of voice, pace and rhythm, and volume. Also, consider appropriate body language.
You must perform the speech in front of an audience of at least 5 people. The people must be shown on the video at both the beginning and end of the speech. Do not splice the video or alter it in any way to make it seem as if you have an audience when you don’t. Failure to display your audience both at the beginning and end of your speech will result in a reduction in the speech grade.
This is a formal speech. You should dress appropriately and stand while delivering your speech. I should be able to see your whole body while performing your speech.
