An informative speech, as the name suggest, provides an information to the audience. The purpose of the informative speech is to inform your audience on the topic that they might find relevant, or help them understand something that they find relevant, but need more information to understand it better. There are as many informative speeches as the topics to talk about; it could be an informative self-development talk, or a seminar on how to improve your life by mindful-thinking, or it might be a talk or a seminar on topic of real-estate investment, teaching the audience how investing in certain properties will reduce your taxes. It might be rather significant that the speaker selects a topic, which they are not only familiar with, but enthusiastic, and even passionate about. …show more content…

Cause and effect order, information is arranged to show causes or conditions and the effects or results of those causes or conditions. 6. Comparison and contrast order, items of information are arranged to show the similarities and differences between the items. Did you achieve the desired outcome of your speech? Did you accomplish what you set out to do? As per my own experience with an informative speech; a several years back, while taking an IT course at the Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, it was a part of my assignment to write and deliver an informative speech on the topic of “The Evolution of CPU”, which covered the development and history of Central Processing Unit, organized in chronological order, from the early models to the latest and most advanced products. I have developed a concise and comprehensive presentation which met my desired outcome of delivering an interesting, and not excessively long message. I did accomplish what I set out to do, for the simple reason that I had to, since the audience was composed of people who were as much proficient on the subject matter as was I; my

...a well defended argument, and was able to reinforce it well with factual evidence, rhetorical devices, and tone.
To take something away from this speech would be to have a dream and present it to people in the same way you believe in it, this worked a lot better rather than speaking about a plan and presenting it to people. For if you tell people a plan they are not invested in you, they would possibly be more invested if you told them your dream and knowledge as you develop your credibility with them.

But in the end, the conclusion did cover the entire speech and provided closer for the topic. The conclusion could have summarized every topic one last time, but overall it ended the speech on a high part. The organization of the speech was well put together as it covered everything that I thought would be interesting for others to
A good speech, they say, should be like a mini-skirt - short enough to be interesting, yet long enough to cover the essentials! So here goes........
While presenting, my leg began shaking! It took me by surprise because this has never happened before. I spoke with no signs of nervousness, but my leg shook like I was. I do not know if it was noticeable to my peers, but it was something I could evidently tell while bestowing information upon my classmates. The informative speech has been different than my SHIELD speech because my the informative contains more historical facts rather than personal information. My topic was also over something I was not truly passionate about. I know I should have done something that came from my heart, but I felt like I overanalyzed multiple topics that I had in mind doing. So, I concluded that each would be better for a different kind of speech. The SHIELD speech was definitely something that placed closer to my heart, making it easier to share with my class. Something I will do differently next, is practice more. I mentioned that earlier in my other journal, but I am saying it again in this one. Practicing more is one of my goals for oral communications so, I will continue to pursue it until I reach it. Finally, a few types of situations where you would have to give a detailed informative speech would be in places such as work or

This speech did not make me nervous nor did it stress me out. I felt comfortable talking about color blindness because I had a good understanding of what it was, making it super easy to talk about. The informative speech stuck out in my mind because it was one of the speeches that I made really good eye contact, and I felt like I was saying very useful information unlike many of my other speeches. I am so glad we did an informative speech because it help me gain more confidence in my speaking abilities. I remember during the speech, I looked at the crowd and I actually saw them being attentive, and seeing my classmates like that made me feel like I was presenting my speech very well while being
I have also learned about different types of audiences and speeches including persuasive, informative, entertaining and delivering special occasion speeches. It came to my attention that whenever I was making these presentations or speeches, I needed to do so with confidence, consistence and practice before the actual presentation and completely eliminate the element of panic. It was also clear that capturing the attention of the audience and engaging them in the whole process, it was necessary to have a very strong introduction and also try and use visuals to deliver the message. It was therefore vital to respect each person’s diversity and cultural values (Lucas, 2011).
Did I contribute significantly to the discussion? What was my single most important contribution to the discussion? Why?
