It's time to put your best effort together on behalf of your candidate.Write a speech that will convince an audience of your peers that yours is the best search engine.  You will be given a time slot for your delivery. Be sure to review the evaluation rubric as you construct and plan your speech. Use these suggestions:

•  Have the candidate’s home page on the Internet projector screen as you begin.
•  Start with a rallying cry letting the world know the advantages of your candidate. This intro should summarize your candidate’s uniqueness and say why voters should elect your person.
  
•  In the body of the speech, continue with detailed information about your candidate’s strengths on the issues, being sure to include those issues you researched during the primary season.  Use the numbers your pollster found for you. Be sure you have included information on what sets your candidate apart from the others as the Positive Spin person has shown.
•  Next demonstrate your candidate in action. Your Communications Director can help here. Plan so that one team member will operate the projection computer while the other(s) speak. Do searches that showcase the talent.  Explain the search. Give your audience a moment to absorb the search. Show features and don’t be afraid to talk about the candidate’s general appearance.
•  With your candidate’s home page on the screen, continue the speech with your mudslinging. Why shouldn’t an audience vote for the other candidates?  Showing a failure of another candidate is an option but don’t get emphasize that. This shouldn’t be the bulk of your speech, just enough to let the audience know that all candidates aren’t as fine as yours.
  
•  End with a summary and a reason why voters should elect your candidate.

Once the speech is constructed, practice, practice, practice.  Your delivery will impact your candidate’s success!

Your teacher will post the speech presentation dates and announce a general voting day.
