Finalizing and Presenting the Speech
In this part of the activity, you will use the sources you identified in task 1, the thesis statement you created, and your teacher's feedback to strengthen, develop, and organize the content of your speech. You will then write the text of the speech. The target audience for your speech is your teacher, so your speech should be appropriate for a formal setting.
Part A
Review the feedback you received from your teacher on your thesis and sources. Using this feedback to strengthen your stance and thesis, create an outline of your speech to decide how you will group and sequence the facts, opinions, and arguments you present to support your thesis statement. Your outline should build on your original plan by indicating how you will include ideas from the sources you identified in task 1.

Your outline should also show how you will structure the introduction, body, and conclusion of your speech.

Using the outline you created, write the first draft of your speech in the blank space provided below. Your speech should be between six and eight minutes long and formal in style. Keep in mind that an average person speaks about 150 words per minute, so your speech will be between 900 and 1,200 words long. As you write your draft, remember that your purpose is to persuade your audience to accept the opinion reflected in the thesis statement.

Your introduction should include the thesis statement and should pull your reader into your speech, showing the audience why they should care about this topic. The body of the speech is where you develop your main ideas and provide supporting evidence and arguments. You should consider any counterarguments to your position and address those positions when necessary. Work with the resources you consulted by quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing them. Use appropriate citations wherever needed. Finally, your conclusion should not only summarize the main points of the paper but also leave readers with a message that gives the speech a sense of completeness.

The ideas in your speech should flow in a smooth sequence, and your speech as a whole should be focused on your thesis. Use a variety of phrases and clauses to add interest to your speech. Avoid deviations from your main topic.

This scene from "Doctor Zhivago" (made in 1965) depicts life in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution. The Bolshevik Revolution was an uprising in Russia against the Tsarist Monarchy system which had instituted unfair practices against peasants. The movie is set in 1918. World War I has ended, but the violent Bolshevik Revolution is underway.

After treating soldiers on the front lines of war, the main character, Dr. Zhivago, returns to his family home in Moscow to find it full of people who he does not know. His home has been confiscated by the new Soviet government and divided into apartments. The 13 families that live there are Revolutionaries, and he is concerned that if he does not say the correct thing to the Revolutionaries, he, his wife, and their son may be killed.

unemployment figures and inflation, and the increase in the GNP testifies to his success in the
first. But our increase in involvement in international conflict without any clear set of political
goals indicates less success with the second. Nevertheless, increases in the military budget and a good deal of saber rattling pleased the American voter.
