Informative speech
In an informative speech you
• Explain something to people
Help people to understand something
Show them how to do something
Please CAREFULLY read the directions below (more than once).
Topics
Be sure to do the readings on Informative Speaking and Visual Aids.
Then, think of a topic you either know a lot about or you would like to know more about it.
Either choice is fine.
It is important to narrow down your topic to make your research easier.
For example, let’s say you chose the topic of Football.
This is a very broad, general topic.
Ask yourself, “What specifically do I want to share with my audience about Football?”
For example, you could share information about a certain team player, or how a football is made/constructed, or the history of football. I WANT MINE TO BE ABOUT MANCHESTER UNITED
Remember, this is informative, not persuasive; in other words you are “educating” us on a topic (informing), not trying to “convince or change our minds” about something (persuasive).
Informative Speech Outline
Be sure to follow exactly the outline example on Canvas; use the outline skeleton to help you to write your informative speech outline.
Your speech has to be at least 4 minutes to 4 minutes, 30 seconds (at the most); 4 research sources required (minimum) and be sure to put your Works Cited page in proper MLA Format; 1 visual aid required (no more than 2 visual aids!)
You are to use your outline (be sure to put on index cards or points will be deducted) when you give your speech.
In other words, NO Manuscriipt (word-for-word) or Memorized Speeches allowed.
Your outline “guides” you to speak in a natural, yet formal manner.
