Officers should set a good example by participating in contests, reminding members of upcoming 4-H meetings and activities and helping the club meetings run smoothly.

How to Write Your Speech 1. Choose your topic: You may be asking yourself, “How do I choose a topic?” Your speech can be about anything you want. Remember to choose something you like & know something about. Sample topics are: * your pet * your hobby * your summer vacation * a book you’ve read 2. Know Your Audience: Speak about something that interests you &

your classmates. 3. Outline: Create an outline of the major points of you speech you want to talk about. 4. A catchy introduction: needs to grab the attention of the audience.

Usually, you will give 3 main points. * be logical with the order of information (sequence) * get personal with examples & stories 6.

How to Present a Great

Speech. Voice: Your voice is a great tool in communication. What you have to say is important so you want the audience to hear you. 1. Speak up – Don’t shout at the audience, but use a “big” voice

2. Speak at a slower pace 3. Work on word pronunciation 4. Be confident 5. Be natural and relaxed

Eye Contact: This can make a huge difference in the audience interest in what you say.

1. Maintain eye contact with the audience. Focus at looking at the audience throughout your speech.

2. Try not to stare at an object in the back of the room.

3. Look for your friends in the audience, but don’t forget about everyone else.

Posture: How you stand during your speech is important. You want to appear confident and interested in your speech.

1. Stand up tall, hold your notes at chest height, not in front of your face.

2. You can walk while presenting your speech.

Gestures & Expressions: Expressions are a powerful addition to any speech. But BEWARE: they can also be a distraction.

1. Use hand gestures that are natural to you.

2. Hold your notes in your hands, but try to avoid “playing” with them.

3. Smile! Look happy and excited about your speech.

Write it out. Don’t read your speech, but do have it written out in front of you on note cards or on paper. You don’t have to memorize your speech. “Ums and Ahs” : Try to avoid using “um” & “ah”. This is best done by practicing your speech and being sure of what you’re saying. The more you practice, the better your speech will be. Practice, Practice, Practice: You can’t practice too much. Give your speech in front of anyone who will

4-H Project Demonstrations For 4th & 5th Grade Members

Join the fun! Share your skills! Presenting a demonstration gives you a chance to share something you have learned with your class. Be sure it is a teaching moment.

Guidelines to Follow 1. In a demonstration, you should both show and tell how to do

something. You may also show how to make something or how something works. Choose a topic that is neither too complicated nor too simple. All topics must be approved by your teacher.

2. All 4-H members must do individual demonstrations. No partners allowed.

3. Both posters and project materials (props) should be used in a demonstration along with the spoken script (speech). Posters are highly recommended but not required.

4. Do Not use live animals or babies. Do Not use audience participation. Do Not use videos, DVDs, or power point programs. Do Not use tri-fold boards instead of posters. Do Not bring any items that are prohibited at school.

5. Do Not demonstrate volcanoes, “gak” or “goop”, simple sandwiches, slice and bake cookies, or paper-folding (origami) crafts. They are too simple or too messy.

6. Your demonstration should be no more than 3 minutes long.

7. A good demonstration has three main parts: Introduction, Body and Conclusion.

20

Steps in Planning and Giving a Demonstration 1. Planning

Choose one simple idea that you are comfortable teaching First, plan the Body by listing the steps involved in the demonstration. Write

an explanation to go with each step. Plan how to show each step. Plan the Conclusion next, restating the main points. Be sure to show the

finished product if you have one and give the source of your information. Then, plan the Introduction. This should introduce your topic, not you. Select

a catchy title. Think of an opening statement that lets your audience know what you are demonstrating and the purpose of your presentation.

If your demonstration has a number of steps that require some “waiting time” in between the steps, plan to bring examples of the project at each stage in the process. This is often the case with crafts or foods, and will require more materials. This is how you can show the whole project within the time limit.

2. Preparation Make a list of all materials and equipment needed. Gather these supplies. Posters are highly recommended, but not required. If you choose to make

posters, we suggest using this guide (No tri-fold boards). Title Poster Supplies Poster - or list of ingredients or materials. Directions Poster – or steps to follow.

Letters and pictures should be large enough to be seen across the classroom.

Letters on title posters should be at least 2-3 inches high. Letters on other posters should be around 1 – 2 inches high.

Block letters are easiest to read. All letters on one poster should be the same color for ease of reading.

Posters may be on white or colored poster board. Use dark colors on light backgrounds and light colors on dark backgrounds for contrast.

Here is a website with more great tips for posters. http://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/publication/4-H_Demonstrations_2008-02pr.pdf Prepare demonstration according to your plans. Make sure your information is correct and that you include your source. Remember time limit: under 3 minutes. Practice! Practice! Practice!

3. Presentation Check and re-check to make sure you have everything you need. Don’t introduce yourself; just start with your topic introduction. Remember to speak slowly and clearly. Be yourself! Smile! Look at your audience whenever possible. Keep your working area neat and clean. Remember to keep all bowls,

boxes, etc. to the side of you and "work" in the center. Have towel ready for any messes.

Tell your source of information and show a finished product if you have one.
