Famous Canadian Speeches

We are starting an in class project that will have students choosing a famous Canadian to research, and then present to the class in a 2-4 min speech.  Most of the research and writing will start off in class, but then the final work, refining their speech, and practicing it for an audience, will likely benefit from being done at home.  Below is a video we watched (pretty funny, but topical) to get some tips on presenting.  We will be looking at ideas in the coming days.
Students were asked to come to class tomorrow with an idea of the person they wish to research (famous for contributions to arts, humanities, medicine, sports, literature, exploration, etc).
