Nathan; This brought back a memory of a speech I had to give for college in 78. I also was petrified to get up in front of the class and to make it worse the speech was video taped for the class to critque. I figured that the best way to get through it was to pick a topic that was humorous to some and off base to others. I had read an article in People magazine about a worm farm in Southern California that grew worms, dried and bottled them to br used as a topping for salads. I started my speach out with the poem "Nobody likes me. Everybody hates me. Guess I'll eat some worms. Long, skinny, slimey ones. Big, fat, juicy ones. Oh how they wiggle and they squirm." I had half the class laughing and the other half looking pale as I went on to describe the worm farm that grew worms for eating. I had a great time and enjoyed it as the time went by. I got an "A" on the speech and the video review went great. I guess what I found is that if you can find a topic that the class can get interested in and enjoy it goes a lot better. I have since used this in other speeches that I have given over the years. Start it out with something that will get the audience relaxed and interested. Hope this helps, good luck! Ernie Bob
