Unrehearsed presentations are shorter and less formal than rehearsed speeches. One unrehearsed presentation is required at the high school level for diploma requirements beginning with the class of 2012. Students should have 15 to 20 minutes to prepare. To use this time effectively, students need practice developing an attention-getting introduction, a body consisting of major points and a summary or conclusion. Students should be offered a variety of potential topics that relate to their own knowledge and experience. Students may suggest topics, keeping in mind they are unlikely to be given the topic they suggested. Or, students may select from topics previously discussed in class. In any case, students could be allowed to choose among several options so they can select a topic they are more comfortable addressing.
