Personal

Story

Writing your personal story is one of the toughest puzzle pieces to craft. This is only part of the speech where you get to share something really personal with your audience. This is where you get to really connect with your audience, the more real and honest you are the stronger the connection with your audience will be. It’s really important that you are comfortable as a speaker sharing whatever part of your life you are speaking about. Write, write, write and write some more and then practice as much as you can in front of as many people as you can in order to get comfortable talking about yourself in front of audeinces.

Key questions to ask yourself when writing your personal story…

  •  Why should the audience be listening to me?
  •  Why is my story relevant?
  •  What is the message of my story?
  •  Have I overcome any challenges in my life? And how?
  •  Is there anyone that has impacted me? And how?
  •  Where has my life journey taken me thus far/ travelled/ volunteered anywhere?
  •  Have I volunteered anywhere in high school or university, locally or globally?
  •  What is the message you want your audience to take away from your story?
  •  How does your story relate to the overall message/theme of the speech?
  • Your story must always relate to overall objective and theme of your speech!

PARTNER’S PERSONAL STORY

Both your story and your partner’s story should have somewhat of the same message/theme. They should flow into each other seamlessly, whether you use a simliar phrase, moment, idea, statistic, joke, etc…it’s very important that these puzzle pieces are smooth. Remember that you are taking the audience on a journey; your audience needs to be engaged. Depending on the layout and topic of your speech and/or speaking tour; try to balance each other out when it comes to sharing personal life expereices. For example if one of you talks about a local experience than the other partner talks about a global experience, vice versa. Be Dynamic, Be Creative, Be Honest, Be Real and SPEAK FROM YOUR HEART!

(t)ISSUES AWARENESS

Interactive Break

CRAIG AND IQBAL

WHY we tell Craig and Iqbals story…they are great examples of young people who stood up for something they believed in and the power that one person has to make a difference.

The main points to highlight in Craig’s Story are…

• 12 year old boy from Toronto

• Newspaper headline in the Toronto Star “Battled Child Labour, Boy 12, Murdered”

• Iqbal’s story

 Sold into child labour for 16 USD at the age of 4

 Worked in carpet factory until he was freed at 10 years old by a human rights organization

 Iqbal started travelling the world speaking out against child labour

 Iqbal spoke in front of the United Nations

 Easter weekend he went home to see his family and friends and while riding his bike outside his home he was shot and killed

• Craig compared his life to Iqbal’s

• Craig returns to school with the article – confused, angry, motivated to action

• “I don’t know much about child labour but I know it’s wrong and we have to do something about it” …..

• Craig stands in front of his grade 7 class and asks “who here will help me?”

• 11 hands were raised and that is how Free the Children was started

• 12 12 year olds started the largest network of children helping children through education

Adopt a Village

AAV for short, is one piece of the speeching puzzle, you will need to know how to speak out it and relate it to your overall message/theme of your speech.

• Where does AAV take place (in which countries)?

• Who gets involved?

• What are the different components to AAV?

• Why is it important?

• When can young people get involved?

• How can young people (your audience) get involved?

• Explain the pillars of aav (education, water, medicine) and how they are connected.

Be clear and simplify AAV and how easy it is for your audience to get involved. Use pictures, stories, statistics, videos, etc to help make this piece more impactful.

YOUTH STORY

highlight that young people have the power to make a difference in their school and/or their community.

Using a youth story can provide your audience with inspiration and reasurrance that that their actions will have an impact.

Really emphasize the point that our world needs young people to step up and be positive role models and influences on those around them.

One small action over time will have a big impact!

Past examples of Youth Stories include:

• Bo Palmer who started Triple S (students supporting sports) to provide youth at risk with postiive outlets in Vancouver.

• Hannah Taylor who started the LadyBug Foundation to help the issue of Homelessness in Winnipeg.

• Divine Bradley who started Team Revolution to help provide a safe space for young people to hang out in Brooklyn.

• David Shepherd and Travis Price who started Pink T-Shirt Campaign to stand against the issue of Bullying in Nova Scotia.

3 ACTIONS

WHY: to leave your audience with 3 tangiable steps they can take immediately to make a differnece.

Your entire speech leads up to this point, you’ve educated and inspired your audience and now it’s time to get them invloved.

MAKE THEM RELEVANT, REALISTIC AND ATTAINABLE!!!!!

• ACTION 1: EASY, NON- FTC/M2W RELATED.

 Educate (yourself and others on a issue you care about)

 Wear a pink t-shirt

 Tell someone that wasn’t here today what you’re learned about

 Give 5 different people a high five

• ACTION 2: MEDIUM, FTC/M2W RELATED.

 High School Audience - MUST be filling out a contact card

 Middle/Elementary Audience bring one pagers on how to get involoved for educators and students

(The sheet should have the speakers contact information on it and how they can get involved in FTC/M2W programming.)

• ACTION 3: MOST CHALLENGING FTC/M2W RELATED.

 Sign up for AAV

 Go on a volunteer school building trip

 Come to academy this summer

Make sure that 3 actions you use are relevant to the speaking tour goals, Matrix asks and orginizational priorities.
