FNUSPC1017-InformativeSpeechAssignmentSheetandTopics.docxINFORMATIVE SPEECHES
Specific Requirements
You will prepare a speech that is 3-5 minutes long on an informative topic and deliver it extemporaneously on video. You will then upload the video to YouTube (mark as “unlisted”) and copy/paste the video link to the top of your outline.
Your purpose will be to inform your audience about an issue/concept/innovation of social significance. The format will follow organizational strategies appropriate for informative speaking (topical/chronological/spatial – review Chapter 7 on Organization). Examples of organizational strategies include:
Example 1: Most useful for speeches about objects/innovations:
I. Introduction
II. Explain what it is
III. Explain how it works/applications
IV. Share implications
V. Conclusion
Example 2: Most useful for speeches about a particular issue of significance:
I. Introduction
II. Provide historical context/background
III. Discuss current issues/people involved in the issue
IV. Share implications
V. Conclusion
The tricky part about a speech that is informative is the tendency to be too persuasive. Information is powerful and it may persuade your audience on its face, but your objective is not to persuade but inform/enlighten your audience.
Required with this speech:
· At least 1 Visual Aid (PowerPoint, Poster, Pictures, any form of visual text that supplements your speech)
· Cite at least 3 credible sources out loud.
· At least one of the sources should be from a peer reviewed journal.
· Typed outline and bibliography (references – APA or MLA format)
