I did the NHL Lockout a couple years back. Pretty much just spoke on what I knew. I think it helps to do a topic your already familiar with. Pick something you know. ---

Just remeber you’ll be getting graded on your preparation, and knowledge of the subject. I have heard some really boring speakers before. Usually its boring because they are telling me things I already know. If you do a topic that isn’t as mainstream, you’ll actually be teaching people some things they might not know. EDIT: My topic worked because the professor was a sixty-some year old woman who had no clue about sports. I sounded like Gary Bettman up there! ---

Do an informative speach on the history of the donut. Why you might ask? 1. Supplies are available 24/7 1a. Said supplies double as a tasty treat 2. You can eat it when you are done 3. Everyone knows what it is, but not how it’s made 4. You could also cover the health impact it has made on society as a hole. 5. Economic impact of Starbucks on towns and surrounding businesses 6. Wikipedia is your god right now. ---
