Decide your topic
List the ideas you want to talk about to support your topic
Put your ideas in some sort of order, this will help you discard the ideas that are not related.
Flesh out your ideas into paragraphs showing their support of you topic.
Formally state your topic such that it leads to your support ideas.
Put it together and draw a conclusion that:
1. Restates your topic
2. Restates how your ideas support your topic
3. When you are done, stop, don't drag it out, allow your listeners to make connections.
The best speeches are concise and to the point.

Completely eliminate the use of the words "um", "er", and "you know". If you lose your spot, or lost the words, just pause for a second. You audience will not disappear if you stop talking for a BRIEF moment.
Listen to the other speeches (if this is a class) for the "ums" in their speeches. You will be amazed at how bad it is.

Start with something funny or some kind of joke - be sure everyone will 'get it'. Go on to your subject but keep in mind what the 'audience' members will be sitting there thinking or feeling. Be 'self-effacing' occasionally to even the score of you standing up there speechifying.

Yeah, talk about something you are interested in or tell a humorous story. KEEP the audience entertained! I once talked about masturbation... how it helps with migraines, and I won a Best Book Report reward. Be creative and have SOMETHING good and unique to say. :)

Rehearse the speech in front of somebody (preferably somebody competent) and ask for feedback before you give it.

do not bore your audience with statistics and numbers, watch the run-on sentences, and don't get nervous . . .
