So my teacher, being the 'I have no idea what I'm doing' kind of guy he is, has decided to copy another teachers lesson plan and make us do speeches.
Well, as usual, I'm down for ideas. I honestly have no idea what to do it on.

I started with Steven Spielburg. It seemed like gold, but honestly I keep my research to Wikipedia, and it had a mini biography on him, way too much information to figure out what is important or not.

Then I decided on McDonalds. But honestly, I'd have to understand business to understand what was written there.

So now I'm stuck. I want something interesting that people won't stereotype me with, something that will get me a good grade, nothing scientific.. you know. Any ideas? All are welcome.

This may sound really stupid but what/who do you have to do your speach on?

Is Paul McCarthy died or alive? It is a really interesting topic and it is fun to look for all the death clues. If your not into that thing the invention of white out. I promise that no one in your class will do that one. The lady who invented it her son was in the Monkees.

I love these.
Paul McCartney is alive. Trust me, the news had a field day when the entire seal thing happened.

Hmmm. . .

A topic about anything? My first thought was, why not Disney? But I guess you're looking for a person. Walt Disney.

My previous speeches this year:
Joan Of Arc
Vlad The Impaler.

Upcoming speeches:
The Moulin Rouge


Joan and Vlad are easy to talk about. I'm big into theatrics and I can fully exhaust those on those two.

I tend to write my speech on the spot, and run with it without notes. Not everyone can do that. I'm pretty sure I can remember both of those and write them down for you if you want to read them.

I know but it is fun to look the at the death clues. Vlad The Impaler is "Count Dracula" right. If so I think that he would be great.

Vlad is soooo much more interesting than Dracula. Vlad was Bram's inspiration for dracula.

(Vlad III, Vlad Tepes, Vlad Dracul, Vlad Dracula are names he went by, if you're interested.)

That is what I thought. I will have to do some research on him.

Disney is a good idea. I had to do a project on him a couple of years ago, and my sister recently completed a massive Indpendant Study Project on him. My cousin did her important person college essay on him, and got into the school of her choice. He would be fun to do, and I am sure that you can find tons of info on this site without openning one book.

The brilliant, brilliant soul who created Diet Coke?

OMG nevermind. If you're a fan of Rent, do it on Jonathan Larson. His life was so fascinating. (To me :p)

I've done speaches on famous historical figures, Malcom X being one, Elizabeth I, Abraham Lincoln. I think go for a topic ur intersted in then find out about a famous person from that topic. If you like murder mysteries, maybe Kenedy or Marilin Monroe? Maybe a person from ur fav band? Or even better Johnny Depp!!!

just some ideas :)
