  2. Transform your speech into poetry: • Take the paragraph format of any speech and transform it into poetry phrase by phrase. • This makes it much easier to read and breaks your speech into manageable pieces.

  3. When you read a speech, use the See, Stop, Say technique: • Look down and take an imaginary picture of the words you see. • Bring your head back up and pause. • Then, say what you have just memorized.

  4. Some rules for transforming speech into poetry: • When you come to a comma, cut the line off! • If your subject is followed by a verb, don’t separate them! • Leave prepositional phrases togther. • Never end a line with “a” or “the” • When you see a period, end the line.
