Let's give
a
"Stump Speech!
1819, WITH ABE LINCOLN (LEARNING ACTIVITY)
| Abe
loved to tell stories and give "great" speeches on top a tree stump, or
anywhere where his friends would listen. He would like for you to
join in with him in making up some good speeches.
1.
Using a story, such as a popular Aesop's Fable, or a Political Theme of
some local thing going on, plan out a short "Stump Speech" in which you
will try to inform the audience, maybe convince them of your viewpoint,
or just "entertain." Even if entertaining, your Stump
Speech should have a purpose.
2. Talk loudly and clearly so all your audience can hear and understand your speech. Don't talk too fast. 3. Present your "Stump Speech" to the class. Return to the Learning with Lincoln Home Page |
