BRAINLIEST AND 100 POINTS
1. Interview an interesting person, asking him or her questions you have prepared in advance. Take notes of the answers, organize and summarize the interview, and prepare a speech to give to your teacher or a friend.

2. Give an autobiographical speech. Select one incident from your life that would appeal to an audience of your peers. Organize all the facts or events concerning this incident into a logical sequence.

Use the outline form as a guide for preparing either speech topic.

Your subject may have from two to four main points and from two to five subpoints under each main point (but having a total of more than about 10 points will weaken your speech). You must have at least two subpoints for each main point.
