Cheyenne Central Speech and Debate Senior and Team President, Whitney Brooks is here today to share her Original Oratory from last season on Speech Love.  Whitney has been a Cheyenne Central Speech and Debate Competitor for three years.  She is the 2022 Wyoming State Champion in Original Oratory, and a two-time National Qualifier in Oratory as well. The speech she shares today is from her 2021 season, and it is called: "Down the Rabbit Hole.”  This cool speech tackles the dangerous impact of conspiracy theories!

A quick word about how to use these speech spotlight episodes.  First, enjoy an excellent, very well done speech.  The speech spotlight is another opportunity for students to share their unique and powerful voice to an audience in an audio format. So, sit back and enjoy some brilliance from our speech and debate community.  Second,  consider how you might use this speech as a model for anyone who is looking to write and perform their own original oratories.  Third, these speeches could be excellent learning tools for coaches and competitors.  Actively reflecting on what makes a speech powerful, effective, or even flawed can help coaches and competitors add more tools and ideas to their own speaking toolboxes.
