Description
Informative Speech (4-5 minutes): For this graded assignment (50 points for your informative preparation
outline and 50 points for your informative speech presentation) you will present extemporaneously* a
researched informative topic (with at least three citations from credible sources) on a concept, object, person,
group, organization, process, or event from your own community. While your community can be any identity-related community (including, but not limited to your age, gender, racial, ethnic, national, regional, cultural,
religious, sexual, socio-economic, or political community), you are strongly encouraged to develop an
informative speech on a topic related to a community of yours that has been historically marginalized,
minoritized, underrepresented, and/or underserved. Your topic must be submitted in advance and the use of
visual aids is recommended.
