Students must be issued the details of their speech writing mission, and should understand that the ideas about which they will write might not necessarily concur with their own feelings or beliefs. As political speech writers, they receive their assignments from their boss, the poitician. The students' speeches should be held within these parameters, but the style and remaining content of their creative efforts can be boundless. Discuss the problems and challenges which the assignment presented to each student. Incidentally, the first president to use a full-time speech writer was George Washington.
