INFORMATIVE SPEAKING ASSIGNMENT

CULTURE SPEECH

You are required to explain a significant aspect of a culture different from your own. Possible topics include social customs, family traditions, holidays, clothing, food, religious traditions, sporting activities, funeral tradition, etc... Research is REQUIRED for this speech.

If you have had direct contact with a different culture, you should supplement your library research with your personal experience; however, the speech is not to be a travelogue or a presentation on "My Summer in Europe" or "My Year as an Exchange Student in Brazil."

On the other hand, a speech on how Europeans spend their summer vacations or on the educational system of Brazil would be fine. (You may decide to give this speech alone or with a partner.)
