Adapted from outline guidelines developed by Dr. Robin Hicks, Olive-Harvey College Informative Speech Guidelines 1. For this Informative Speech, you will be providing the audience with significant information on a specific topic as described by your professor. Present an informative profile for the topic you have chosen. Remember that this speech must be based on an object, process, event, people or person or group, or a concept. Consider this carefully as you begin to research your topic. 2. Limit your speech to 5-7 minutes. The only way to ensure ha your speech is within the allowed timeline is to practice, practice, practice. Speeches over 7 minutes or under 5 minutes will lose 10% of the earned points. 3. Choose your topic ASAP. The sooner you decide, the sooner you can begin researching and writing. Next, upload your topic into the Bb Discussion area as prompted. 4. A minimum of three sources are required for this speech. Working with your instructor, you will identify three credible sources. Be sure to cite your sources in three ways for this speech. First, within the body of the outline. Secondly, on the reference page or bibliography. Third, you will orally cite your sources while delivering your speech. All three methods of citing your sources for this speech is required. • In your oral presentation, you must cite a minimum of THREE SOURCES ORALLY. Citing your references orally might sound something like this: According to Jean Smith in the Newsweek article dated July 2011, Creating Traditions in America… See two pages of examples of how to use oral citations in the Smartbook, chapter 8, called “Supporting Your Ideas”. And review the oral citation worksheet. Speeches without oral citations will lose 10% of earned points for the body of the speech. 5. All your resources must be both credible and reliable. Wikipedia is not allowed as a reference. 6. Turn in a typed outline by the due date and time in Blackboard. YOU CANNOT COMPLETE THE SPEECH WITHOUT FIRST SUBMITTING AN OUTLINE TO TURNITIN VIA BLACKBOARD. Outlines not submitted by the deadline in Bb will not earn points. In addition, outlines without. Outlines without intext citations and references in APA or MLA will earn a score of zero (0). In other words, citing your sources is mandatory for this speech. 7. Prepare a PowerPoint or Prezi as part of your speech presentation. Plan carefully how you will present this visual online while delivering your speech. • If you incorporate a video into your speech, it cannot be more than 30 seconds long. • Use the best practices in our textbook for visual aids. Remember, visuals do not present your speech – you do. The visual should accentuate your presentation – not present for you. 8. When using PowerPoint or Prezi to deliver your speech, ensure that you do not present with your side or your back to the audience. Additionally, do not read from your slides. Use note cards (not a manuscript) to present as discussed in our class (see below). Practice with your visuals in advance. 9. Use note cards, as is required for extemporaneous speeches. Do not attempt to give your speech using a manuscript. You will lose significant points if you do so as reading from a manuscript is different than using an extemporaneous style of delivery with note cards. Again, practice using note cards in advance of submitting your final speech. 10. Remember, this is not a persuasive speech. It is an informative speech. Do not try to persuade us…only inform us of the specifics of your topic. The persuasive speech will come later. 1 Name Speech 101 Section Date Professor The 4th of July General Purpose: To inform Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about the cultural traditions of the 4th of July Central idea/Thesis: Learning the history of the 4th of July, will help us understand the significance it brings to our society, so we can celebrate accordingly.
