In this speech, students will nominate KATY PERRY for a Grammy award. Note: You should not choose an award this person has already
won. He or she can be nominated for the award but ultimately lost out
to someone else (in which case you would make the argument as to why
s/he deserved to win), but don’t choose someone who, for example, has
won an Oscar for Best Actor, and then tell us why s/he deserves the
“Best Actor” Award. This should be a real award that students have
researched and know the requirements for. Again, this topic can range
from ideas including a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador, Professor of the Year
at Lynn University, and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Students
should indicate what the award is for, why this company/person is
receiving it, and what they have done to earn it in a 3-4 minute
speech. (suggested length: 2 typed pages)
Consider including the following in your Nomination Speech: (not all
of these may “work” depending on the award and person. These are
suggestions, not requirements–though at least a few should fit ALL
nominations!):
how things were prior to this person’s achievement;
what knowledge your nominee had of the situation and what actions they
choose to take (how s/he got involved initially);
the scale of the achievement and whether it is completed or ongoing;
the achievements sustainability and impact on the community, the
nation, the industry or the world, and how it has enriched the lives
of others;
what made this an outstanding achievement indicate any extraordinary
circumstances or challenges the nominee faced (include testimonials,
statistics or historical background if applicable);
what makes your nominee different from others doing the same thing?
How does this person stand out?
