Why don’t you write something about innovation in business? Here’s a good one: The Dream: Print-Out Solar Panels That Can Be Stapled to Your Roof. The link is at Print Solar Panels.

I recently gave this topic to my daughter who attends college and her class and instructor LOVED it!

Good luck to you!

You can add a “little bit of funny” to any topic by running a search through Google or other search engine. Look for forums on the topic and people’s comments. You’ll be amazed at how many comments can be very funny and rewritten to include in your speech.

For example, let’s say you were giving a factual speech on the many ways baby wipes can be used. Run a search for “mom forums” and see if anyone has shared a funny experience or story and rewrite it as part of your speech, “This one mother discovered she could use baby wipes to _____” or “A mother couldn’t find the baby wipes and discovered her 4-year old had decided to plaster them all to a bedroom wall as wallpaper,” which could be funny.

Hope this helps and Good Luck!

You could make it funny while still showing the ‘fact’ of how it’s done in about 3 minutes.

We DO, in fact, have speech topics available under the elementary/Middle School tab. Maybe you couldn’t find those because you were looking for a tab that said, “8th Grade.”

We have some terrific new topics for 8th graders in there and I’m sure you’ll find one that you like.

Try again!

Thank you for your feedback!

Grade 8 is kind of that middle ground in teenage years.

We have been working on improving the site and I will write a new article for Grade 8 speech topics next. I’ll let you know when that’s up.

Thanks for your patience while we work to improve and expand the site!
