Document Summary
Public speaking to inform occurs in a wide range of everyday situations. Your aim will be to convey knowledge and understanding not to advocate a cause. Your speech will be judged in light of three general criteria: There are many ways to classify informative speeches: (1) speeches about objects, (2) speeches about processes, (3) speeches about events, and (4) speeches about concepts. Objects include anything that is visible, tangible, and stable in form. You will choose a specific purpose that focuses on one aspect of your subject. You should select a specific purpose that is not too broad to achieve in the allotted time. If your specific purpose is to explain the history or evolution of your subject, you will put your speech in chronological order. If your specific purpose is to describe the main features of your subject, you may organize your speech in spatial order.
