This is your third written speech assignment for the semester. You will be completing the provided Informative Speech Worksheet, which is a Microsoft Word document. Once you complete the worksheet, you will reply to this discussion forum and attach the worksheet as either a Microsoft Word file or a .pdf file.
Read through the entire Informative Speech Worksheet:  Given that this is your third speech draft of the semester, I’ve provided a worksheet as well as detailed instructions. While this is considered a draft, it should be your best attempt at writing this speech. The more work you put into your speech draft, the more feedback your peers and me can provide to help you finalize your speech in preparation for recording it. Unlike the first two speech worksheets you’ve completed, this time you will use your feedback to make changes to your speech draft and you will submit an updated version next week – it will be the 2nd draft. 
2nd Draft (next week): Unlike the last two speech worksheets from modules 1 and 2, you will be expected to make revisions to your 1st draft and submit a 2nd draft of this worksheet/outline next week. However, if you do really well on this week’s worksheet and you need minimal or no revisions, I will excuse you from submitting a 2nd draft of your worksheet/outline next week. So, rather than having to make updates and edits and submit an assignment next week, you would have the week off from submitting an assignment and have an additional week to refine your speech and practice it. If you have done well enough on this speech worksheet/outline draft, I will notify you by leaving a comment on this assignment and let you know you are excused from submitting anything next week. If you are excused,  from submitting a 2nd draft next week, the grade column for next week’s assignment (assignment #7) will remain blank (represented with a dash). This will not impact your grade in any way. 
Informative Speech Worksheet

Select a topic for your 5-6-minute informative speech. I encourage you to use the same topic for your informative speech as you do for your persuasive speech. When it’s time for the persuasive speech you will put a persuasive spin on the informative speech topic (e.g., informative topic: vegan diet; persuasive topic: adopt a vegan diet). This approach will allow you to immerse yourself in research on a single topic rather than researching two separate topics.
The speech is only 5-6-minutes in length. This requires a very specific and narrow topic. If you keep the same topic for both your informative speech as well as persuasive speech, you can inform your audience on the topic with this speech and then delve deeper in your persuasive (which is also a 5-6-minute speech).
Review
I always find it helpful to see multiple examples of how to format something or to get ideas. Take a look at these examples from past students. 
Student Examples ~ Topics & Specific Purpose Statements 
Post Formatting & Requirements
You will post your topic, general purpose, and specific purpose statement following the format below to this forum. You do not need to upload a document. It should just be a discussion post with text only. Your topic should be informative and not persuasive.
Your specific purpose should start with the words “I want my audience to understand”. Do not change the wording of the first four words.
The General Purpose is always two words, “to inform” for the informative speech. Do not reword.  
Your informative speech topic post should include the following elements:
1.    Topic:
2.    General Purpose:
3.    Specific Purpose:
Here is an example of what your initial discussion post should look like:
Topic: Distracted Driving
General Purpose: To inform
Specific Purpose: I want my audience to understand there has been an increase in distracted driving-related incidents in the state of Florida over the past five years.
