I have an educational campaign to write that has to be 750-1000 words. I was mostly just wondering if I have to use a standard essay format (ex. Intro, Body 1, Body 2, Body 3, Conclusion), or if there was a different set up to use. It's also supposed to be read as a speech, so should I write it more like a speech? Thanks for the help!

It would help us to read your exact instructions. No guessing, no questions, etc. Just the directions you've been given.
The prompt is "prepare an educational campaign that explains why cooperatives have remained successful when other iconic brands such as Blockbuster, Polaroid, and Circuit City have failed. The campaign should also outline how the cooperative can remain successful and relevant for years to come." It's also targeted to the younger generations.
I think you're correct. If you are to read it like a speech, then you should write it like a speech, not an essay.
