==Teaching the whole class==
 
Before the students who are going to participate in the speech contest are chosen, students may be given a chance to show interest or practice. In this case, give students a pre-made speech to practice and deliver. It is best if you have a recording of it, so they can get an idea of the colour. Use a famous part from a speech, like the [[Yes we can]] speech. Alternatively, you could use a spoken word song, such as the [http://www.anysonglyrics.com/lyrics/b/bazluhrmann/everybodys.htm sunscreen song].
