Chapter 6, Three Speech Topics and Three Specific Purposes Assignment We will be doing 3 major speeches this semester, so once you have reviewed Module 3, Chapter 6: Finding Your Topics, take some time to pick your topics and the first steps to developing your speeches! Get started by: 1. Spend some time brainstorming some ideas about what you are passionate about and want to talk about! Basically, I don’t care about what topic you pick if they fall within these guidelines: You are passionate about share on the topic. You will be working all semester on these topics, so make sure you really care about them. You can peer-reviewed academic research on the topic at a college level. For example, we all love our moms, but you probably can’t find much research about her, and making a cake box mix is not the college level. You are not promoting something illegal, promotes violence, or hate. You can use the same general subject matter on all 3 but not the same aspect of that subject matter if you want. 2. Now that you have brainstormed ideas, pick out 3 topics that fall into these 3 types: a. Biographical Speech is a speech on a real person’s life, past or present, that is noteworthy. Make sure this person has had significant notoriety that can be researched. For example, I really admire my father and what he has accomplished in his life. Still, when I go to the school’s library databases, I would be unable to find any research about his life or contributions. Therefore, my dad wouldn’t be a great topic! b. Persuasive Speech is a speech on a topic that you want to change someone’s mind or actions. Ensure it is a topic that can be researched and has an audience that might express opposition towards such assertions. For example, there is little need to convince and audience that the sun is hot..few would disagree. c. Informative Speech is a speech on a topic that you want to tell us about. This could be anything, but I suggest you make sure you really love this topic and are passionate about it and that there is a level of complexity that would justify research and explanation. For example, I might love going to New Orleans, but I must make sure I can take it to the college level to discuss this topic. If I tell you’ll about my favorite bars and restaurants and how much fun it would be for you to go —I have failed to accomplish this speech’s goal. On the other hand, if I tell you about New Orleans’s history and have researched it to the point that it shares beyond the average visitor’s knowledge, it might very well be a good topic. 3. Once, you have picked your topics submit your topics by writing your specific purpose statements, the sentence that give a general statement about what you are trying to communicate in your speech. Use this basic format: Biographical Speech Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about ____________________________________ Persuasive Speech Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, the audience will be persuaded to _______________________________________ Informative Speech Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about _____________________________________ Alignment: CO3; MO2c, M01d
