Henry Ford Speech
July 15th, 2007
Question: So I am doing my FIRST research paper presentation on Henry Ford tomorrow, I am in the 8th grade am fixing....
to pull my hair out because I am stressing. I have to make a 3-5 minute speech. How do I go about talking about him?? I do know he invented the assembly line which revelutionarized america and made cars affordable with it. He also paid his workers more than twice the minimum wage back then which created the middle class, which is basically all of my community so should i talk about that?? help!!?!
Answer: OK, man, breathe slowly. Everything...is...going....to be...ok......
Wow so oral report tomorrow, eh? First things first, calm down. It's important to try your hardest not to be nervous.
This report will depend on how well you know your facts. How much in depth have you researched Henry Ford? Do you know what you're talking about, know his significance in history, know how he impacted America's economy and lifestyle? Do you know your basic background information? These are all important questions for you to consider. If you answer, "No", to any of them, then fix it. Make sure you know all about Henry Ford, and things will be a breeze.
No offense, but this is a kind of last minute to put together a speech. If it has to be memorized, you better get to work!
3-5 minutes usually comes to about a page to a page and a half of written work. If I were you, I'd write out my entire speech first and then start memorizing it, making changes to it as I go. If it doesn't have to be completely memorized, try making a list of important points that you want to cover. Yes, talk about the middle class; this is an important aspect of your report.
It's also important to make things interesting. How could you make your report not a total bore to your classmates? Maybe try a different approach, like dressing up and pretending to be Henry Ford. Or you could pretend to be a worker in one of his factories. Whatever you choose to do, make sure that your have a solid and informative introduction and conclusion that grabs the audience's attention. You could be a news reporter telling people about Henry Ford's achievements. Or you could just be yourself, and give the report that way.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
