    Brown Bag Presentation

    A Personal Artifact Speech


    Purpose
    Everyone has things that mean a lot to them. Some of these things represent our
    personality and some represent our interests. Using such artifacts from your own life,
    you will present the class with at least three personal artifacts and explain why they
    represent your life thus far.

    How to Prepare
    1) Choose at least three objects from your home that represent you. Avoid things
    that are silly and/or obvious (i.e., a slice of pizza because you really like pizza or
    an IPod because you listen to it all the time). Instead, find objects that have a
    STORY behind them. Some ideas are listed below. No cell phones, please!
    2) Be sure that all of your items are school appropriate! In other words, let’s leave
    the weapons at home.
    3) Plan an opening and a closing statement for your presentation. PLEASE do not
    start with, “Here are my objects” and end with, “That’s it.” Be creative!
    4) Be prepared to say at least two or three things about EACH object. State why the
    item is important and what role it has played in your life. Provide detail.
    5) You should practice your speech at home at least one time – you will not be
    allowed to use a script in Oral Communications!

    Examples that have worked in the past:


    Jewelry
    Pictures
    Stuffed animals
    Clothing items
    Souvenirs from vacations
    Trophies/ribbons
    Instruments
    Poems/lyrics/letters
    Family heirlooms

    Speech Length
    Your presentation should be 1-2 minutes in length. This will be very easy to attain if you
    provide detail about each object!

    Grading
    This assignment is one of the required speeches in this course. You will be given a total
    score out of 25 points. Below are the grading criteria:
