Deliver your Informative Speech.

Informative Speech

This week, you will deliver your Informative Speech. This is an individual speaking assignment, 3-5 minutes in length, with the general purpose to inform. You are required to conduct research on your topic from a minimum of three scholarly sources from the DeVry University Library or other reputable sources that are current and credible, synthesize information, and remain objective about your topic. Resources that you use to support the information should be referenced orally (out loud during your speech).

The tone and messaging of the presentation should stay informative. Although you can bring yourself into the speech (making it personal), make sure you don’t share any opinions on your topic or try to convince your audience of anything. Focus on your thesis statement and remain objective.

Your presentation should have a fully developed beginning, middle, and ending.

Extemporaneous delivery is expected for this presentation. Have a strong introduction and conclusion prepared while relying on limited notes during the body of your speech so that you maintaining eye contact throughout and not reading your speech to the audience.

Follow our public speaking process: Prepare, practice, present, and reflect.

Video Recording Options: Kaltura Capture (under My Media) is recommended for recording and submitting your on-camera Informative Speech. A YouTube video recording is another option. Although submitting a cell phone video is acceptable, it is not ideal unless the recording is high quality. Check to confirm that the link to your recording is a shareable link that works!
