PANTHER PREP: Informative Speech with Visual Aid

Time Limit: 5 ? 7 minutes Sources of information: You will need to use at least 2 outside sources for your speech. For each

source give the specific magazine or book, or web site, etc. it was taken from, title of the article or report, author's full name, date of publication, and the chapter or pages telling where the material was found. If a source is a person, identify him or her completely by title position, occupation, etc. List these in outline form. You should be referring to your sources as you paraphrase and/or quote at least two or three times in this speech. Outline your speech: Prepare a detailed outline. It must include a bibliography for all sources used. You will need 2 copies of your outline. One must be turned in before the speech and one is for you to use during the speech. Visual Aids: You must use a PowerPoint presentation as a visual aid in this speech. It should support your central and main ideas. You must print out your PowerPoint presentation (6 slides per page) and turn it in to the instructor with your outline.

EXPLANATION OF THE INFORMATIVE SPEECH WITH VISUAL AID:

The speech to inform people provides them a clear understanding of the speaker's ideas upon a subject. It also arouses interest in the subject because the material, which is presented, is relevant to the lives of those who hear it. The speaker must provide this relevant material with its accompanying interest, if he is to inform intelligently. To accomplish the ends of informative speaking one is obligated to select a subject of interest to himself/herself and the listeners. This can be done by an apt analysis of the audience ? in this case your classmates. You as the speaker are charged further with the serious responsibility of knowing what you are talking about, knowing more about it, in fact, than anyone in your audience does. For this reason, your speech demands that you study not one but several sources for information. Under no consideration should you satisfied to glance hurriedly through an article in a popular magazine, jot down a few notes, toss the periodical aside, and rush off to "coffee", content with the world a "sloppy" job of acquiring knowledge. This kind of preparation does not even begin to prepare you to give an informative discourse.

*Select a topic that interests you and that is appropriate to the audience you are to address. Be sure that you can find information about the topic you select. Do not put off choosing the topic.

HOW TO PRESENT AN INFORMATIVE SPEECH WITH VISUAL AID:

Use an easy, energetic presentation. Be sure to be enthusiastic and original in what you have to say. Draw pictures, exhibit charts, in fact, do whatever is necessary to make your ideas understood and interesting. Take stage properly, utilize expressive body action, maintain direct eye contact, observe time limits, and stop when your speech is finished. Your conclusion should be as strong and appropriate and as well prepared as your beginning remarks.

*This is a good time to work on word selection and vocabulary. *Since this is a class speech, you should inform the class if they need to consider themselves a different audience. *Be sure to USE your visual aid as an enhancement to your speech.
