Prepare and deliver a 3-5-minute special occasion speech

For this assignment, please prepare and deliver a 3-5-minute special occasion speech. Here are some guidelines to follow for your project:

· Choose an appropriate topic for a special occasion speech. This can be a toast, tribute, eulogy, introductory, acceptance, or inspirational speech of your choosing. Remember that the purpose of a special occasion speech is to celebrate or commemorate a special event such as a wedding or an anniversary.

· Record yourself delivering your speech using a camera and save the recording. Your computer webcam should work just fine. Make sure you set up the recording to capture your gestures and expressions.

· You may refer to notes or index cards during the speech; however, please be sure to maintain eye contact with the camera.

You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you may also use external sources. All sources should be cited using APA format.

· A works cited page as a Word or Google Doc
