Speechwriting

A tip for speechwriting.

Avoid writing in paragraphs!

They're a pig to edit and even tougher to internalise as a flow.

I suggest one sentence (or phrase) per line.

Preferably double or 1.5 spaced.

Easier to edit.

Easier to internalise.

You'll be prompted to write in shorter sentences too.

May look like poetry as a result.

But that's a good sign.

The school is at the start of an ambitious and exciting journey. You have helped us set the standard for the remainder of the year and further ahead. I hope you will return to the school in the future and inspire subsequent cohorts of MPP students.
