For your first speech project, you will introduce yourself to your fellow club members and give them some information about your background, interests, and ambitions. Practice giving your speech to friends or family members, and strive to make eye contact with some of your audience. You may use notes during your speech if you wish. Read the entire project before preparing your talk.

| Objectives: | • | To begin speaking before an audience. |
| • | To discover speaking skills you already have and skills that need some attention | |
