Here you will submit your topic proposal for your Informative Presentation. The proposal has two parts: a
description and a
rationale. Your proposal should be about
two to three full paragraphs in length as follows:
Part 1: Description
· With the first part of your description, offer basic presentation information:
·
state your chosen informative speech topic in a few words
·
identify the speech type (process or expository? what makes you say this?)
· Then, briefly describe what your speech will be about — narrow in on what you hope to cover, then summarize this in 3-4 sentences so that an audience can understand the basic elements. Think of this as important background info and context. To do so, answer the following prompts:
· What
basic information does your audience need to know to make sense of your project? Think
who/what/where/when/why.
· What do you think your
focus will be? What is your
purpose/goal? What do you hope your audience will get out of it?
·
How will you accomplish it? When you envision giving the speech, what do you see yourself saying, doing, focusing on? Main ideas? Props? Will you demonstrate something? Right now, brainstorm a plan of action.
Part 2: Rationale
· Provide
a
rationale for your topic choice by answering the following questions:
·
Why is your subject important for you to share and important for your audience to learn more about? In other words,
why is it significant?
·
Why did you choose this subject? What
personal experiences or life events led you to pursue this topic?
Finally, don’t forget to submit your proposal in MLA format!
