EDIT: some links if you want to know some stuff about the school This is my campus information. My school's homepage ok so if you want to know information, my campus is lakeview k thanks guys --------------------  This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||

If it's voted, you'll have to be relaxed, chilled out etc. Be confident but not desperate. Keep looking around at people, and talk to them as people instead of as a group. Unless i know more about how it works, I wouldnt know what sort of thing you'd have to say  ~Mugger84 -------------------- Mugger84 Member Of WG Since 4th April 2008.

Makes all the difference, (I do debating as a sport at school). Make sure you connect with the audience, (so if it's about teachers try joking about bad kids, provided they have a sense of humour), and try not to be too full of yourself. -------------------- | ||

Since they're your age, you probably don't want to use high vocabulary words (unless your school is like an advanced private school, in which case use of those types of words may be natural). Make sure to look around and use your hands. DO NOT just keep your hands at your side. Point and use them to help make what you're saying look more interesting. Be as relaxed as possible, but also proper, because you don't want to many phrases like "um," "well," or "and yeah." When coming up with stuff to say, firstly address that you're actually going to do the job, and not just do what you want. So if homework is a huge problem, say you'll do your best to organize a system where teachers have to put up when they're giving homework, and estimated times for how long each assignment should be. That way you're not going home with 5+ hours every night, but more like 2.5-3. Also, always talk about events. Make sure to talk about how you'll try to set up school events and trips. Also, fight for the second speech as hard as you can, that way if he says something you think is good, you can use it also. Hope that helps. --------------------   | ||

You might be able to use some of the format he did. His videos are geared to getting people to join the clan. So you can adapt the speech to have them join your team as president. This is a lil more your age lvl. I don't know that a Bill Clinton speech would be to helpful. Start out with a friendly intro of who you are and how you wish to relate to them. Making a statement about how or why you will be a great choice for the president. This is the time to get their attention so you have to be interesting and maybe add a lil humor. Next most important part is how you end the speech. Mostly people remember the beginning and end. We tend to daydream in the middle of stuff. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | Give examples of how you would be better than your nerdy opponent. Tell them that you have more connection with the students and have the greater influence rather than the other guy who just sits and studies. Make sure that you get your point across that you know problems that you have to face, you know how to talk to your peers, and that you know what the school needs to become better. When it comes to actually writing it, you should do at least 2 or 3 drafts before you final one. Go ahead and write out a sloppy first draft, print it out, and then sit down with a pen and revise it. Retype it and in that process rephrase things and add things that you think that may be needed. Repeat the process until necessary, or until you feel like you have the stronger speech. --------------------      | ||
