Informative...Informative...

Maybe take something within your major you expect to need to know more about, maybe that was in a class lecture, so you know some starting points, but you expect to be able to find out more about it.

Basically, tell us about something we would enjoy knowing more about and that you can speak about authoritatively (see linked PowerPoint)

DO NOT make it to convince us of something – that will be the Persuasive Speech.

InformativeInformative Pick something you’re interested in. NOTE: You CANNOT modify another class

project or someone else’s speech to create your speech—that is plagiarism. If your speech content is plagiarized, you fail the course.

After thinking of topics, see the discussion in the book about topic selection.

Otherwise, think about a particular skill or knowledge area you could find some sources on and share more about with the class in a 10-minute speech that uses ‘visual aids’ – also called ‘presentation aids.’
