Finding your topic for an informative speech

As we wrap up our introduction speeches I'd like you to begin thinking about what topic you would like to explore for your next speech. As we've discussed in class, the speech will focus more on how you found the information, rather than on the presentation of information as if you are an expert on that topic.

Consider this TedTalk from Mr. Kamkwamba (if the video isn't working, visit Ted to see the video there):



William told us why he wanted to know more, how he learned more, and what his journey resulted in. I'd like you to consider a topic that allows you to do the same.

I also want you to read Chapters 4, 5, and 6 in the text book. Also, bring a thumbdrive/memory stick/external hard drive (USB friendly) to class so you can download a copy of your speech from my laptop and upload it to MySpeechLab.

Have a great weekend.
