Informative Speech

2.5 page speech and 2.5 page outline, both on Rosa Parks

COMM 111 – Public Speaking
Ohlone College
Biography Speech on a Social Justice Leader – 50 Points
Outline – 25 Points

This informative speech is a 4-6 minute speech where you will research and organize information to share about an interesting person who has contributed to society. You are required to have four Ohlone College library sources (non .coms) and I encourage you to consider more like six or eight courses to fully support a speech of this length. The outline is approximately a two-and-a half page typed outline with all three parts of speech (introduction, body and conclusion) oral citations, transitions and other rhetorical techniques like anecdotal stories, analogies, facts, testimony, visual imagery, stories, quotes, images, visual aids like photos, videos (very short) timelines, illustrations, etc.

The body of the speech can be organized chronologically past to present or present to past, categorically or topically, sequentially, or as a causation speech. For example, a categorical or topical speech design might describe two instances of great contribution or character about the person and the third main point may be the theme that ties those specific instances together that illustrate the great societal impact the person has made.

The outline should include the general purpose, specific purpose and thesis at the top. A fully developed and creative introduction with all the parts labeled, a fully outlined body using standard outlining format, oral citations, transitions, and a fully developed creative conclusion with all the parts labeled is required. Finally, an APA references page is required with the minimum number of library sources.
