Title: Oral presentation question
Post by: leona0123 on March 09, 2011, 07:14:26 pm

We're writing our speeches under SAC conditions (so, handwritten) and I am having trouble judging the length/time of my speech. I don't really have time to read over it and time it in the allocated writing time, so I was wondering if anyone knows approximately how many pages or words would make up about a five minute speech? 
Thanks :)

5 mins is ~600 words. Handwritten, 1.5-2 pages depending on how you write. But no more than 2.
