There are tons of situations in which you might have to give a speech: at school, in clubs, in student government, in sports, or later on in work or social settings. Here are some examples of types of speeches:

• Graduation or promotion
• Acceptance (for awards, honors, scholarships, etc.)
• Impromptu (speeches you give with little if any preparation)
• Presentation (either as a school project or part of your job later in life)
• Group project (in school or on the job)
• Election (when you’re running for student office or public office)
• Teaching (If you give a lecture when helping to lead a class, or if you’re someday a teacher)

Here are some other times you might find yourself on stage:

• Plays or theater (if you’ve got a part in the school play)
• Singing
• Presenting awards during an assembly or awards night
• Before a game (if you’re the captain of your team and you want to motivate everyone)
