Introduction

Wherever you are, it is the place to start. The effort you expend today does make a difference.

—Andrew Matthews

Our final lesson encompasses honoring a person or honoring an event. I would recommend that you become familiar with special occasion speeches so that when the opportunity arises, you will be ready to present. Having spoken at both my mother and father’s funerals, I feel that my tributes made a difference to the audience because they personalized my parent’s lives. I am looking forward to hearing your special occasion speech at the end of this lesson.

Lesson Objectives

  1. Understand the different kinds of special occasion speeches.
  2. Learn how to successfully write an appropriate special occasion speech.
  3. Present a special occasion speech of your choice.
