For this speech you will select a topic to present. Informative speeches promote understanding of an idea or convey a body of related facts. I encourage choosing a topic that is interesting to you that will make researching fun and enjoyable. The objective for this speech is to create awareness of a subject, promote understanding, or convey a body of related acts.

BE CAREFUL Due to the nature of the topic, it can be easy to have a persuasive tone, which will negatively impact your grade. For example, if you choose Canada as your topic, your approach is to inform your audience about the country. You may include information regarding its establishment as a country, their history, government structure, significant events, political parties, economy and currency, etc. At no point do you want to persuade your audience to take action or shift their attitude/opinions. You simply want to inform and bring awareness.
