The Informative Speech

You are to prepare a 5-7 minute speech. The speech must be informative, and not designed to change your classmates’ values, attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors.

Essentially, you are presenting the problem that you have identified in the country you have chosen for your Annotated Bibliography. You are not solving the problem

yet; that will be done in the persuasive speech. Utilize the international research that you did for your annotated bibliography to create the content and citations.

After reading your resources identify the information you think you should share with your classmates. It will be easier to identify the information that is

appropriate for your audience if you clarify your purpose before actually designing your speech. To identify your purpose, ask yourself how becoming informed about

your speech topic can benefit the audience. Let your purpose be your guide as you prepare your speech. Once you’ve determined your purpose, identify your thesis.

Gathering and organizing your ideas to support your thesis are your next steps. Identify main ideas and supporting ideas by asking the journalistic questions (who,

what, when, where, why, which, and how) about the subject of your thesis statement.

Your ideas should be organized to reflect a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.

The informative speech is worth 100 points.
