Speech dot points:

 We briefly discussed in class why it is that some topics seem to be off-limits to satire (The Holocaust, 9/11, Islam etc), although that is not to say they are NEVER satirised. Choose a topic which you believe should not be satirised, and use it to write a speech to be given at a Public Speaking Competition. Your speech should last about 2 minutes when read – you do not have to give the speech, simply write it. (15 marks)  Convert your written speech to notes on palm cards and present it to the class. (10 marks)
