Informative speeches at ISU require that you choose/describe a community or civic process, idea, theory, issue, event or problem, in an interesting manner.
Goal: Teach, explain, help audience understand; share important information
BUT DO NOT TRY TO 'PERSUADE'; that comes later
Utilize the resources found in other LibGuides to help you find resources on many topics that you would be writing about.
