    Brown Bag Introduction Speech – 15 points – Due Tuesday!!!
    Assignment: Choose 3 items: 1 to represent your past, 1 to represent your present, and 1 to
    represent your possible future. Give a speech in which you explain the stories behind these
    items and tie the items together to demonstrate your identity.

    Speech Duration: 2-5 minutes.

    Requirements: Items must fit in a bag of some type. The bag does not technically have to be a
    brown bag. If the item is much too large, bring a picture of it instead.

    This speech does not have to be memorized, but I suggest that you don’t write your thoughts
    out word for word. You may certainly bring up notes though.

    Format: The speech is informal, but you will still generally follow this outline:

    -Introduction –

    -Use an attention-grabbing statement, question or quotation to start things off.


    -State your name.
    -Make some kind of overall statement or reflection about yourself that will
    reveal something about your identity and convince us to keep listening.
    -Object #1

    -Tell any stories behind that object and explain why that object is important and
    significant. What does the object reveal about you? If it symbolizes something,
    explain the symbolism.
    -Object #2, follow same format as object #1
    -Object #3, follow same format as object #3
    -Conclusion-

    -Tie the objects together somehow with an overall point.


    -End with an interesting overall reflection or realization about your identity.

    Hints:
     Don’t write the speech down word for word and read from a piece of paper.
     Choose objects that really are important to you and show something about you.
     Be honest and be yourself as you speak.
     Don’t end your speech with “That’s it” or “Yeah…Ok…I’m done.” BORING!
