Use It Tomorrow: Impromptu Speech Topics

Tuesday January 20, 2009
Here's a Language Arts lesson idea that you can put into use tomorrow: Impromptu Speeches. Print out the Impromptu Speech Topics, cut each topic into a little slip of paper, fold them and put them in bag, and have student randomly choose a topic. Give them 5-10 minutes to write a quick speech off the top of their heads. Then start calling each child up one by one and watch the hilarity ensue.

This fun lesson takes little preparation work for the teacher, but teaches students the importance of thinking on their feet and offers fun writing practice with quick turn-around results.
