Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking

For this project, you will present a three or four-minute speech, without props, to your class from one of the Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking Competition topics:

Year 3 and 4
Racism is Bullying Multiculturalism at the FIFA World Cup Empathising with other people How kids can make a difference Harmony Day Every family has a story My overseas connections When does a migrant become an Australian? Multiculturalism at school What makes a community

Year 5 and 6
Asylum seekers The meaning of Australia Day Getting a multicultural education Learning different languages Religion Multiculturalism in the media The same but different Un-Australian Stereotypes Living between cultures

The content of your speech should show your research by focussing on: demonstrating an understanding of what multiculturalism is in Australia; and how multiculturalism impacts on 21st Century Australia through your topic choice. To be persuasive, your speech needs to have: a clear opening statement that introduces your point of view; arguments supporting your opening statement that are backed by evidence; and a conclusion that re-emphasises your point of view. Your speech needs to have: a clear, organised and logical flow (you can use palm cards) that sticks to the time limit; a balance of personal opinion and researched information; a balance of humour and sincerity; and delivered in a relaxed, clear and confident manner. Check out our classroom resources on 45mnps2014.weebly.com for information about writing and delivering speeches.
Speeches need to be ready by Friday, 23 May, 2013 (Speeches to be held

after this date).
