Discussion Question

A Speech for Every Occasion

· What makes a special occasion?

· How can you apply, to special occasion speeches, the speaking skills you have worked on throughout the term?

· Share a special occasion speech you gave or heard (or find a recorded one online and share the link). What made the speech effective? What can you apply from that experience to your own communication skillset?
