  6. The two major speeches... • #1 -- Informative • 10 minutes • Tell us about something interesting to you • Find sources and cite them in the speech • Outline due next week • Speech two weeks from today • Persuasive • Continued...

  7. #2 -- Persuasive • Convince us of something • Change a belief, move us to action, etc. • 10 minute speech • Requires more library research • Outline work starts next week • Speeches done next to last class day

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

  11. Informative • 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.’
