Good Informative Speech Topics
Can be found everywhere… Think of a place you love to go to, or
have always dreamt of going to see – research it and present it in a
speech of description.
What about a concept or process you are interested in, how does
something work. Maybe it is a product or service you use all the time,
or maybe it is something you have always been curious about. All you
have to do is research and present a speech of explanation then we
will all learn.
Look through the following list of ideas. Use one of these or come up
with your own. Some of these topics work better as description
speeches, and some work better as explanation speeches. At times a
topic can be developed for either format. So get creative, do good
research and inform the class on something new and exciting.
Remember these are ideas for informative speech topics, so you
just want to inform your audience not persuade them to take an
action or try to convince them that something is "good" or "bad". You
are just letting them know the facts.
