Here are some handy Websites for analyzing and delivering speeches:

Speeches--The Writing Center at UNC-Chapel Hill (offers guidance on how to write and deliver a speech)
This MiddleWeb post by Frank Baker shares info about how to teach students to analyze propaganda, and MindOverMedia is a great resource!
