so for my english class
we have to do a tribute speech on someone we look up to
and first i chose my mom
then i changed it to my dad
then i changed it to obama
can anyone help me write my tribute speech? or help me with some ideas
this is what it has to have…
Step 1 (Investigate/Decide) – 250 words; due Thursday, January 8
Yes, you have to do this step, so stop whining.
Reflect on a significant personality who has had an impact on our world, or who has personally influenced you.
oWhy do you look up to this person? What do you consider worthy of tribute about him/her?
oList his/her admirable traits
oCreate a list of 5 to 10 interview questions that you would ask this person if given the opportunity to interview him or her. Consider using words and phrases such as: justify, explain, evaluate, “to what extent”, classify, describe, determine, implement, defend, etc. (See list of possible words to use in formulating a question)
oIf you had an opportunity to thank this person, what would you thank him/her for?
Step Two: (Investigate/Research continues) – due with step 3
Now that you’ve chosen your subject, investigate and record on paper the answers to the following bulleted questions/statements
oBiography –origins (background, family life, education, etc)
oTimeline – highlight accomplishments
oRelevancy- just what is it that makes your subject worthy of this tribute speech?
oUse library and Internet as needed (you must have at least 6 sources for this speech. If your speech is about a famous person, you must make sure they are accurate…keep track of them on work-cited page. If your speech is about a person who is not famous, then you must use interviews, old local newspaper articles, old family albums, etc.)
Step Three: Plan and Decide (Create Outline of Speech) – due Thursday, January 15
Decide which information you will use from your research. Plan the best way to organize your information into an effective speech.
?Create an outline of your speech (please put details on the outline)
?Example of how you might organize speech:
oQuote or eye-opening fact; statistic; etc…hook
oBiography of Individual
oAccomplishments
oWhy tribute to this individual?
**Step Four: Create Full Written Draft of Speech – Due Tuesday, January 20
?Create your manuscript with an introduction, body, and conclusion. Include the stylistic devices listed for objective #5.
?Cite sources within your manuscript as appropriate using MLA format. You will need a Work Cited page as well.
?Peer Edit and Revision
Step Five
•Rehearse—create note cards and time yourself.
•Did you remember to cite sources and create your work cited page?
Step Six: Presentation of Speeches with Peer Evaluation/Turn in Manuscript. All Speeches due Tuesday, January 20 whether it is your day to present or not! Keep a copy for yourself!
Present and Evaluate Speeches (4 to 6 minutes)
and this is what i have so far:

Looking for an all-in-one buying guide for specialized mountain bikes. Open to all ideas but need current info. Thanks.
Todd Molloy’s ‘Mountain Bike World’ is your guide to buying specialized mountain bikes — including where to buy, what to buy and when to buy.
His contact with the mountain biking world (both as an enthusiast and a professional publisher) are the biggest advantage for his inside view of the market.
His ideas are clear and speak from experience. Everything from reviews to budget to parts and the best online stores for deals are covered in easy detail. Check it out. It’s got everything you need to buy the best mountain bike affordable. At least for me it saved a lot of cash and some major trouble hunting for reviews.
I want to apply for a masters and thought i have seen their official site, i cant find a review anywhere.
You can look up different colleges based on their major and see how they stand, and if they meet your expectations. Go to www.collegetipsntricks.com and look under the useful links section. You will find a college matchmaker there, good luck!
I really like the description of this hotel (Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort and Spa), but want to find a promo code so I can get a better deal! I’m looking to travel for a few days anytime between June 13-22. Can anyone help?
Also if anyone has stayed there, I would love to hear reviews or things to do while staying there.
I have been many times and it is a great fun place for adults. There is nothing to do for kids like they have in Vegas. I don’t know of any promotional codes.
I used to use a website that as well as standard reviews for digital cameras, it also provided video reviews i.e. people talking and showing the cameras features.

~ all d best ~
Only want to spend upto £500, been to Comet so far seen an Samsung LE40B530P7WXXU but review say poor sound quality, I ‘ve never had a samsung only had an Panasonic LCD in the past.
Can anyone help?
All HD tvs have poor sound quality, so your best bet is to hook any one you get to an external sound system. Even a small, stereo bookshelf system will sound much better.
As for the LCD tvs. Samsung would be the best with Sony second best. The others are not as good pic quality.
I’ve had cheap, junker type cell phones my whole life. It’s time I went ahead and got something nice, and I am due for an update with Verizon. I did some research in around x-mas time, and the Dare seemed best. Looking into it now, I don’t see any newer phones getting reviewed better then the Dare. I do not need a cell with work (so no need for a Blackberry.) I want a fun phone. Let me know your thoughts.
Dare sounds like a good choice for you, also check out the new LG Versa, basically the same thing with newer software. And an optional attachable/detachable keyboard.
