We've talked about a general speech format when you've done your impromptu speeches, now we're going to look at a much more detailed format. You can access the format and some tips here. Your first major speech will be due the Monday following fall break. It should take us between three and four classes to get them all completed so you need to start working on them now.

- Capital punishment
- Abortion
- religion
- smoking or tobacco use
- texting and driving
- anything that is opinion based.
