~~~~Need a topic for a how to speech~!~~ Help

[EXman]

Somehow my communications class at a major university did not transfer to the Com college I go to now so I had to add in late to the class and already have to do a "how to" speech. and it cannot be technical!

What can you do well that requires little props? I did one on changing a faucet washer. I installed a faucet to a cardboard box made to look like a cabinet.

how long does the speech have to be? you can get some great topics that one would think are "too simple and stupid" but can be really funny and informative

5-10 minutes Very short! I am thinking possibly on "How to buy a New car" since I used to sell new Hondas a few years back. what you all think about that topic I could power point it and use no other props.

Due tomorrow morning 8AM... yes an 8 o'clock class! yikes

"How to prepare to do a How-to speech in one day or less" <--your topic, Sir.

You can talk about the different resources you consulted, the people that you asked to help you practice at the last minute, etc.

Teacher already nixed the fire starting.... I guess she had a bad experience!

A "how to" on buying a new car is a good topic. I'd run with that, esp. since you have experience with it.

How to build a fire? LOL! I'm sure that speech was a real barn-barner. A blast. Etc. Hahah!

If you want a topic that has endless interpretations "How to evaluate non-verbal communication methods, and the dangers of doing so".

How to write a paper:

Brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, all that BS that you're supposed to do.


(Personally I just type 2 pages, hit spell check, and print it)

A speech class that has to do a demonstrative speech at 8am? Can I ask what community college it is? I tutor Public Speaking and they have a class at 8am and a demonstrative speech coming up shortly...
