Work with your group members to compose a speech about a certain social issue you feel the need to address with your audience. Some examples include the influence of media on public health, prayer in schools, mandatory drug testing or smoking bans. Assign each member of your group one aspect of the issue to research and present. Some areas to cover include the history of the subject, positive or negative aspects of the issue and arguments for or against your chosen subject. For example, if you choose to explore the topic of prayer in schools, each member can choose to cover the negative or positive aspects of prayer in school, the history behind the issue and proposed solutions for issues that arise with prayer in school.
Choose a topic each member of your group wishes to explore on a deeper level. You can give an informational speech about a famous historical figure, a scientific discovery or a natural phenomenon, such as Stonehenge. Each member will be responsible for researching one aspect of this informational topic to explain to the class. For example, if you choose to give a speech about Stanley Kubrick, some different topics that can be explored are his early childhood, his influences, his films and the impact of his films on society.
Compose a how-to speech that allows each group member to participate in telling the audience how to do something. Some example topics include cooking, getting published in a magazine or writing a resume. Assign each group member one step in the process to explain to the audience, and give the speech in order of the steps. It may be helpful to provide visual aids and references to help the audience better understand the process.
Split the group into two groups, and build a speech around a debate. Some topics include whether to lower the legal drinking age, keeping abortion legal or whether we should use nuclear power as a source of energy. Have each member present a persuasive perspective on the topic so both sides of the argument are clearly outlined and explained. This will allow your audience to come to a conclusion based on the information your group provides.
