Speeches are given by students for different events including class president or leadership positions, student council, valedictory, graduation and speech and writing classes. Student speeches are a great training ground for leadership and work as we develop and grow older and take on more responsibilities. Some ideas on writing and or making good speeches include being simple and clear in your
. word choices, writing the way you speak so that it will flow naturally, using words and illustrations that are concrete so that they will create a picture in the mind of the hearers and having a strong opening and ending.
