Impromptu Speech Download Worksheet
Language Arts, Oral Language, Listening, Speaking Grade 5- 8
Objective
Students will practice public speaking by giving short imprompt speeches.
Directions
The impromptu speech is an unprepared speech that one gives with spontaneity. It is often done when the speaker draws a topic–sometimes a silly one–and gives the speech off the top of his or her head. Each member of the class can supply one topic to put into the drawing. If preferred, the class may base their speeches on the topics suggested on page 15. A speaker may prepare an impromptu speech by following the basic three-point speaker outline: Introduction, Body, and Conclusion.
Notes on the Introduction The introduction may be an attention-getting statement, joke, or anecdote. It is always a good idea for speakers to learn famous or well-known quotations, since these make great introductions.
