I need your thoughts . . .

Today in my communications (speech) class we finished up our persuasive speeches.   Now, the next step is to do our final speech before wrapping up the semester.    However, normally this professor requires this final speech to be a group speech.  Instead she is trying something new and she is giving us the option of what kind of speech we want to do, calling it the "Speaker's Choice" speech.   I decided that I am not going to do a group project thus I will stick to the individual speech.   I have a number of options (which I have listed below) that interest me.  The speech needs to be 4-6 minutes long and references are Not required (unless I use sources that are not my own). My presentation will be the first week of December.

1) Informative Speech: Communicate information about a concept, process, object or event using the guidelines from the first informative speech.

2) Persuasive Speech: Using the guidelines from your persuasive speech, present a topic in a way that will entice your audience to think a certain way, behave a certain way, or take some sort of action.

3) Reflection Speech: Reflect on a special event or time in your life.  The speech should tell a story with a beginning, middle and end.  (Serious or not serious)

4) Demonstration Speech: Using appropriate props and visual aids, demonstrate to your audience how to do something.

5) Advertisement Speech: Speak on a product, service or action (or thought).  This can be a 4-6 minute infomercial.

6) anything else you can think of. . .


Here is where you come in.  I am seeking your thoughts on which one (or more) of the above you think I should do and what topic I should talk about.  I am open to just about anything.  The floor is yours . . .
