With Group Puzzle Speeches sit with your group to figure
out what you have in common and where you differ. Then come up with a theme to
link it all together. Not sure what you have in common? How about music, sports,
family, ethnicity, food, art, religion, dreams, goals, personalities, abilities,
or favorite colors.
As a group you will create a Puzzle Speech with pieces
that link - be creative. Your group must figure out a way to demonstrate to the
audience the connection between your individual speeches.
