Need a topic for a 3-5 minute informative speech!

[Time2Kill]

I have to give a 3 to 5 minute speech tomorrow and it has to be an informative speech.

Do you guys have any interesting topics?

So far I am thinking about doing it on my water cooler, or the history of R/C Cars

 

[Valhalla1]

hrm.

if this is a public school I'd suggest neither of those geekish topics. :Q

 

[uwantasumwang]

who is the audience.. relate your topic to your audience and you will give a better speech from their point of view..

 

[The Stigenator]

how about why pigs are not a delicasy in arabian countries.

or why the grass is always greener on the other side.

 

[koldklock]

Watercooling? Are you giving this speech to a geek convo or regular school kids (for your sake, I hope the former considering the topic).

Otherwise do a current event; energy crisis, missile defense plan, etc.

 

[lsuengineer]

do it on superfluous monkeys

 

[Time2Kill]

I go to a private school and it is for an english class

Other kids have done people they know, sports, singers and stupid stuff like that.

I think R/C cars would get most people's attention since I have to have a visual aid which would be an R/C Car

I had the same assignment this past semester for a college speech class (ugggghhhh, required) and I did the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. It was also my Extended Essay (a kind of junior/senior project for the IB program) so it wasn't too hard for me.

How about on the new tax cut that was just announced. Will definitly impress the teacher if nothing else.

 

[FiddleDD]

well I remember from 9th grade someone doing one on how to wash a shirt with woolite. I haven't forgotten it to this day...and that was longer ago than I would like to admit.

<< hrm.

if this is a public school I'd suggest neither of those geekish topics. :Q >>



what the hell does that mean?!? only private school kids can be interested in r/c cars or water coolers?

 

[kaiotes]

i'm do'n a 5-7 min informative speech on CA energy crisis.
and of course i live in CA

 

[Time2Kill]

Now I'm thinking about doing it on gas prices, but what would I do for my visual aid...some kind of chart?

 

[Robert01]

Llamas...the best thing before sliced bread.

 

[uwantasumwang]

you want their attention do a speech on birth control

 

[duragezic]

If you did gas (sounds like a good idea) then maybe use a chart with prices to fill up a certain vehicle at different prices. Maybe even put a car and then a suv like an expedition and show the price to completely fill up at different prices such as $1.00 to $2.50 in certain increments.

 

[kaiotes]

dats a good idea w/ the car thingie wut i think is better idea is this:

and draw the size of the car accordingly showing how far u can drive w/ each type of car
title:
mileage for a gallon of gas:

0_____________________________________45 mi
m __________E_______________ t_____ r______o
c _______i ____ v__________ i c
a __ c___ o___ r____ d
e xpl o r er
exterr a
can't post that many spaces so i used underscores

 

[Pyxis]

I asked this same question yesterday for a speech I had to do today. My topic was on the need for good communication skills in today's job market.

 

[perry]

I had to do one on Monday, 3 minute informative speech with no notes, any topic. I chose the brake system on the car. I got a B because I went 3:45, she took off points for going too long. I guess I just had alot to say.

Gotta give a 5 minute persuasvie speech next week. Not sure what I'll do it on, so look for a thread like this from me sometime early next week

 

[FlamingEightBall]

How about Franklin Loyd Wright...He was a great american architect.

 

[duragezic]

Hey what's with the speeches for everyone else too?

We're doing speeches in english right now. I'm in 10th grade. I did:

informative (1:30 to 3 min) on civil rights
opinion (2-4 min) on smoking
persuasive (3-5 min) on smoking. Doing that tomorrow, just finished up with it.
entertainment (2-4 min). No idea what this is about but it's not due till next week.

<< only private school kids can be interested in r/c cars or water coolers? >>



What the HELL?! What kind of school kids are interested in water coolers? What kind of fetish is that?

 

[Helloo1328]

I didn't think your topics where bad to begin with, public school or private school doesn't matter. & if you've got a visual you're golden! I am actually interest in your two original topics.

Which is better - Keurig, French Press, or Drip Brew?

Lots of research material here on ATOT.
