Answer 1

How about - how people express emotion in creative ways, like music, art & writing. You could talk about how children often express what they are feeling (but dont know how to say) through drawing for instance. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Smoking
Bug spray or other chemicals
puppy mills or homeless shelters.
the History of Fries/Spaghetti/Casseroles

the drafters of the constitution? How many times did they really edit it? Where was it done? Why?

Or the rarest plants on the world? Where are they and why do they only grow in certain places?

Or the top ten mountainanous regions in the world? Describe each one vividly!

Cell phone towers? Cell Phones to Teens?

How large should televisions be? Average sizes should be mentioned.

What percentage of kids have to do chores? How many have allowances? How many get jobs before 18?

Don't Forget to Use this old trick in your speech preparation:
who
what
when
where
why
how


Good Luck!

Answer 3

When i was in speech I had a "How to...." speech as well and i did "How to fart in public and not get caught" I received an A. I know it sounds kind of silly and embarrassing but it requires little research and its funny and original. Another topic which was very popular with out professor was "How to survive a Zombie Infection" there is actually a book called "The Zombie Survival Guide" which you can use as a source.

Answer 4

Do it on how technology has very subtely changed the way we live
1) Less people have a need for a home phone since we all have cell phones or
2) no one really buys low-end watches anymore, since the cell phones have clocks.
3) Is it possible for us to just have one device that is a cell phone, and MP3 and an e-mail device (I think this is out already) and just be assigned a phone number from birth (like a SS#) to take with us throughout our lives?
I think these are iteresting topics with very minimal controversy.good luck.

Answer 5

Chickens! Honestly, I've used it for a speech and came in second place. First place dealt with homosexuality.
You could do a speech on stupid tags you find on the backs of things...like the one on the back of your remote control "Do not place in microwave". Or the one on the nut-covered Brownies "May contain nuts". You could make it interesting, humorous and connect with the audience in a good way. It would be something with which everyone could relate.

Answer 6

Gabby, fantastic question, and you've got a lot of great answers. Including that one about your Constitutional Right to Freedom of Speech is a good topic, for not letting you chose the subject freely.

Answer 7

How about the positive aspects of volunteering? I suppose almost anything could be made controversial though.

Or consider talking about an unusual career, such as something in anthropology or forensics or the entertainment industry?

Clowns? A hobby?

Answer 8

I did a speech one time on microchip implantation in humans--it was for a college class. I got top scores for it. It's quite an interesting topic.
