CREATE & EVALUATE FINAL PRODUCT
- Informative Speech: focuses on educating an audience through the use of facts and evidence to establish credibility on a chosen topic. The speech might include definitions, explanations, descriptions, visual images, demonstrations, etc. The focus of the speech should be about objects, events, processes, concepts, and examples. An informative speech does NOT try to persuade an audience, give personal opinions, or take a position on a topic.
