Regions: Patagonia, the Adriatic Sea, etc.
You do not have to have been to this place.
You can include personal opinions if you have been to this place.

3. Step 2 – Find your Information Location
Start with the location – include a map.
Be sure to let your audience know where your place is in relation to Anchorage.

Do not assume your audience knows much is

4. Step 3 – Find five interesting features
The following are just ideas:
Things that you would like to see/do

How you might get around once you’re there
Cool places to stay
Interesting information about the location
Your task is to create a speech that contains information specific to your chosen location
You will decide how to organize the information
Think about what your audience might be interested in…don’t just consider your thinking.

5. Step 4 – Create an outline of your speech
To insure you organize your speech in a logical progression you need to create an outline.
For this outline, I would like you to include your information for each slide.
We will generate ideas for the conclusion over the weekend.

6. Step 3 – Create a PowerPoint Presentation
You will use your google slides to guide your speech.
You may only use pictures on your slides. Yes, that means no text will accompany your images. You can use text on the title slide.
This will help so you do not just read information from the slides. You will need to remember the information.

7. Step – 4 Rehearse
For this speech, you will only have limited time in class to rehearse.
Make sure you rehearse it as much as possible before you present.
You also need to share your presentation with me before the day you are scheduled.

8. Step 5 – Delivery
Deliver your speech!
