8th grade Commencement Speech: (+2 points on project/quiz grade)
Prepare a commencement speech in order to share your experience, values, and advice with your graduating class. What life lessons have you learned during your journey at Culbreth? What important, fun, or special memories stand out to you? What will you miss the most? The least?
If you are interested in entering the contest, come to Ms. Grinnell's room at lunch next Wednesday to present. You will present your speech in front of a panel of Culbreth teachers. If you win, you will present the winning speech at the practice graduation ceremony.
In order to earn the 2 bonus points, you must take this seriously. Speeches that are irrelevant, unstructured, and full of errors will not get points. +1 more point if you are selected to give the speech.
Here is a cool NPR story about successful commencement speeches: Anatomy of a Great Commencement Speech.
