heres the guideline:
~Devise a speech presesntation, the purpose of which is to help us remember your first name. Employ virtually any device(s) you can think of to give IMPACT(high memory retention value). Elemts able to be used inclue-idea/approach, script, props, visual aids, costume, audio aid, movement, audience participation, etc used to enhance name recall. The intro should arrest attention. No projectors can be used, or lous nosies for impact, and no negative association.
One example of a previous student's name was Ashley, and she created "Ashville" like the set up of a town, with her family in the middle, a church building, school, etc.
My name is Colleen. Have any ideas?

Why don't you start with your name and its meaning...I think colleen is Irish for girl...is there something you could do that is really girly that would allow people to remember you by??? -
Maybe have a barbie doll named colleen with all pink on and girly girl things and accessories for it that would let people understand the meaning and therefore help remember your name...
-Do a coat of arms for your name with things that are important to you and your family
-Dress up as a character and do a monologue about yourself or a specific instance that was really important to you as a person
-Write a song about yourself...something catchy like a rap or something that others will enjoy and get into wtih a chorus for participation
-Do a gameshow or something that students have to identify the famous colleen...(ie. voice of a cartoon character or something)
Sorry not the best answer I am sure but maybe a starting place. Good luck!
