Three minutes is about 3/4 of a typed A4 page (in size 12 times new roman) if presented at correct speed (not rushing out of nerves etc). As the task is probably to WRITE the speech, and not to plagiarise it off the internet, it's probably better to give a list of suitable topics and a structure to write a speech quickly and easily. Most teachers are now in the habit of typing part of the text of a child's assignment into Google if they suspect that the parents have helped the child too much or the speech was downloaded or copied out of a book, because they are very good at picking out words the child would not have understood (and therefore mispronounced), sentences with the wrong emphasis because the child did not understand the meaning, etc. Children gain better marks for their own work (which seems mediocre or poor to an adult but is not for a child of that age) than for work done by their parents (which is obviously too good). Here is an easy structure for writing a speech. It is used by the Australian Toastmasters for an impromptu (short notice) speech, where the speaker stands up, is given a topic, and is expected to begin speaking within about twenty seconds. The acronym to remember it is IBET. I think/believe x. This is BECAUSE. Give EXAMPLES. Then TIE it up. Because it's simple it is an easy structure to give to a child when assisting them to write a speech. A children's speech, obviously, should not be on a topic that a child would not understand or be interested in. If a child stands up and begins speaking on the state of the world economy or federal politics, this is going to raise a few eyebrows. The topic should be selected for the individual child and should be an area of interest for them. If they like the topic and want to get their message across, they will speak better. Good topics to talk about for a child of 6-9 might be their family, their pets, something they did recently (on the weekend/the holidays/with their friends) - did they enjoy it, why/why not, describe experiences. Their favourite animal/colour/toy/movie/book/website and why they like it. Topics for older children can be more sophisticated topics requiring research and higher thinking - in upper primary and lower secondary school, this will be expected if the child is to gain good marks. Good topics are ones that are related to the child's age and will not bore the audience (likely to be classmates of the same age) but still requiring work. Examples for an animal-loving child might be the problem of shelter animals, poaching, over-fishing, hunting or the trade in animal body parts (ie ivory and tiger pelts). For a sport-loving child, inequality in sport between men and women or athletes taking drugs. These topics are easily adjustible for age and level. A ten year old might cover one of these topics by briefly describing the problem, what causes it, and listing a few things that people can do to help reduce it. (IE the problem is animals in shelters being put down, what causes it is a large number of unwanted animals because people don't desex their pets, and what we can do is desex our animals and only buy from breeders or rescue from shelters.) A fifteen year old, midway through secondary school, would be expected to do considerable research and might present statistics, details of high-profile cases, and cover the topic in much more detail. Hopefully this is helpful both to young speakers and to parents who want to assist their children with their homework. Remember that children gain better marks if the work is theirs (and age appropriate) than obviously done by an adult.
