5 to 7 minutes. Your speech must not exceed 7 minutes nor be under 5 minutes or your grade will suffer.
Time yourself in rehearsal so that you don’t go over or under time. If you go over time in practice, cut
some material; don’t assume you’ll speed up during the actual presentation. If you go under time in
practice, find some more material or add extra examples.
The speech needs to focus on the topic area chosen by the class and then provide in-depth information
about that subject.
