How can i get the attention of the students when announcing my speech to the class?

Question

Im running for Sophomore Class President and i really want to win. Advice and Catchy slogans. please and thnx :]

Answer 1

Hi, I won freshman year, class representative and my junior year, School VP, student government.

Slogans.
One is about as good as another.

Just get one and put up as many signs as allowed. For me, I got my friends to do the actual work of placing the signs. Slogans are needed but will not win the election for you.

Running Mate
It may be possible for you to either formally or informally take a running mate. If so, choose one that balances your demographic strenghts; Someone a bit unlike you. If you are a gregarious connected type, get a serious stoner girl for your VP.

If you can do this, place both your names on all your signs.

Attention getter
At the end of my freshman year speech, I simply announced that I will now throw pieces of candy into the crowd.
Three bags of candy. Just like a parade.
They did not remember a word of any speeches but I won over 90% of the votes.

Help from your friends
On speech day, the hottest girl in the school helped me.

I bought her a brand new outfit at the best store in town. In return, she wore a hand lettered shirt the whole day. It said "vote for Eric", like 30 times, in black magic marker.

Completely unprofessional looking...completely effective.

Also, when I was introduced for my speech, she stood to her feet and wildly cheered. She is really hot looking.

The Speeches
My opponent spoke first. Very attractive. Short skirt. New hairdo. Big smile. I wanted to vote for her.

Her speech? Very serious. Very good for the teachers and others in academia. Who remembers what she said?

But I want to win! I am not good looking. My dad cuts my hair. I had on an old army jacket.

My name is called and Kathy Whitney flys out of her seat. She gets cheering me. I know I can turn it around.

Jokes. All jokes. I mention the gym instructor. Called him by first name "Dave". He was standing there in the front. Everyone sees him smile and he enjoys the attention.

Reasons to vote for me? I'd do whatever it takes for your vote even if it is slip you a $20 in study hall. I laid it on for laughs.

The good looking serious girl just didn't see it coming.

I was elected VP along with my slightly nerdy Pres running mate. He later went to Brown on a scholarship.

You will win also. Be seriously funny. Get all the help you can from all your friends. And play to the voting public. And of course, remember for voters, it is really not that important. But if you give them close to a good time, they will give you their vote.

Let us know how you do!!

Answer 2

I don't understand what the "shy and withdrawn" part has to do with it, but I would say definitely a teacher shouldn't threaten with bad grades. Students earn them. I believe you can use grades to motivate, say by allowing so many A's to earn an additional privilege or prize, and so many D's to earn an additional chore or to relinquish a privilege. I have also asked for a certain increase in grade point average to merit a certain privilege or prize, if I see that a certain student is really trying, but can never seem to make that A. But in my experience, those who are shy or withdrawn or even disruptive and behaviorally unacceptable have another, greater problem, which is not always one the teacher can correct. I would suggest talking to the parents, asking for a suggestion, or try to really dote on that child, praising him openly. If for some reason that seems inappropriate, I have also found a note of appreciation and encouragement in a student's book while I'm grading can go miles toward solving the problem. I hope that helps.

Answer 3

A skilled speaker knows the power of silence. He will stand up, smile, look all around at everyone in the audience, trying to make eye contact with each one, and saying nothing.

Soon they will all be looking at him, waiting to see what will happen. Then he will speak his opening sentence. This should be well thought out to create an impact. He will speak it slowly then pause to watch its effect.

Churchill understood the power of a well chosen phrase. His classic will never be forgotten: "I have nothing to offer you but blood, sweat and tears." Josef Goebbels, another master of effective speech, knew the power of a phrase: "An iron curtain has descended across Europe." Churchill copied this one.

Answer 4

Speak loud and make false promises as a joke, like if you are elected you will try to shorten school to 4 days a week instead of five, do away with homework, make failing a student against school policy. Then state now that I have your attention here is my real platform.

Answer 5

At the beginning of this year, I was elected president of my school. It helped by being confident in yourself, making a good and clear speech, and advertising with posters and flyers.

Answer 6

I can help you with the poster part! I am running for JR. Class President.

Answer 8

Play the shitty music that you hear on the radio. Oh yeah, and do it Bush-style, mess up ALL OF YOUR GRAMMAR, steal stuff from people, and bomb some random country that didn't even have anything on it.
Have fun!

Answer 9

You could get their attention with something funny and follow it by something that could benefit them that you're going to do. Then you can ramble on with everything else.
