Demonstration Speeches Project

Demonstrations Speeches Project

Demonstrations Speechs Crane

You will give a 3 – 5 minute speech demonstrating how to do something.  A demonstration speech allows you to show a step-by-step process, such as how to play a game.  For this speech, I recommend that you use note cards.  You must use some type of visual aid during your speech to help your demonstration.  This speech will be graded on time as well as delivery, content, and use of visual aid.

For the Basics, start here: Demonstration Speech
