This speech is short and to-the-point. We call these speeches, "Elevator Speeches," because we're trying to get all of our important information explained before our audience member gets off the elevator!
Here are the important pieces that we want to make sure our audience members get from us:
1. Explain what your topic is.
2. Explain why we have it in our classroom or school.
3. Explain how student leadership is shown during your topic.
4. Explain which of the 7 Habits were used & how.
5. Don't try to explain everything on your board! Let them see things & ask questions if they want.
6. Don't go over two minutes! They'll be bored & won't be able to get to other poster boards!
7. Ask them if they have any questions before they leave.
8. Know what your purpose is: To make sure that your audience members leave having learned about your topic and how student leadership is being developed.
