Part 1 - Brainstorm a topic for an informative speech that is different from the topic you have chosen to present in Week Three. Then consider two different audiences that you want to deliver the speech to. In your initial post, tell us your topic, purpose, and two audiences that you might deliver the speech to. Then, describe how the delivery would be different for each audience. Be sure to reference material from Chapter 5 of the textbook to support your ideas.
Here is an example of what the format of your initial post should look like:
- Topic: The Value of Higher Education
- Purpose: To inform the audience about the types of careers that require a college degree.
- Audiences: Junior High students; High School students.
- You will then begin to write your post in narrative form by describing how the speech content and presentation might differ for the two audiences in regard to the specific topic and the delivery of the speech.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references according to APA formatting
Part 2 - There are three different forms of informative speaking: speeches of description, speeches of demonstration, and speeches of explanation. Think about a speech that you have heard that fits the description of one of these types of speeches. The speech may have been heard on television or radio, on the Internet, or in-person. In the post, be sure to respond to each of the following (for discussion post only - not for use as speech outline):
- What was the form of informative speaking used in the speech you selected?
- How would you describe the form of informative speaking used in your own words?
- What was the most appealing part of this form of informative speaking?
- What was the least appealing aspect of this form of informative speaking?
- What would you have done differently as the speaker?
