Answer 1

You have both an advantage and a disadvantage. This subject is so important in regards to preserving human rights. As a disadvantage, you will need to make every effort to do this subject justice.

First of all, I would suggest you get passionate about this subject and it would make your speech preparation and delivery so much better. I think about the bad speeches I have given in the past and with every bad speech, I did not have a passion about the subject.

As far as the format, you want to do is find a way to engage your audience in the introduction. You can begin with world statistics regarding reported genocides around the world not just in Africa. End your introduction with your focus: genocide in Darfur.

In the body of speech, you want create a picture of cause and effect of the genocide and the consequences for the people of Darfur and for all around world.

In the conclusion, you can talk about the lessons learned and the necessary call for all of us to preserve and speak for the human rights for all.

Good luck with your speech.

Answer 2

A simple rule of thumb would be this: First, tell them what you're going to tell them. Then, you tell them. Then, you tell them what you've told them.

What it's saying is you want to give a brief preview, give more details, and summarize what you've said. That goes for actually writing the speech.

As for research, Google has a great variety of information, but be sure that your sources are credible before you randomly get facts.
Get statistics and real-life examples if you can. This will help your audience relate to your speech better, especially if you can somehow connect it into their own life (i.e. X amount of people are killed here each year. That's like the city of Such-And-Such being killed every year!)

And for actually presenting: Divide the room into about three sections, and slowly scan the sections while you are talking. If you are too nervous to look people in the eyes, look at the bridge of their nose. It looks like eye contact, but is much less awkward for you.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Basically what you need is the tulman model.

Introduction-get their attention
preview-tell them what you are planning on talking about
point 1-
point 2-
point 3-
Review-tell them what you just told them (summary of it)
Conclusion-Wrap up the entire speech making sure you tie in the attention getter you used in the introduction


You can have whatever subjects you want for your points as long as they flow well with each other. If you look up tulman model online you will find all kinds of help with how to word your speech. It's so much easier once you have a guide with just a few blanks to fill. Hope this helps.
