Query: As a teacher - helpful & good!

Speech for 8th graders is all about the basics. This collection of speeches, largely persuasive in the broad sense, was an excellent way to place speeches in historical context and discuss their importance to our world. It was also great to use with a substitute if you are technically set up. Use a questionnaire and show a variety of speeches. If you have an older substitute teacher they can also share their unique experience (if they personally remember the events surrounding 'some' of the speeches) to the class.
