Select a topic you are knowledgeable on already. \n\nIf you have a pet, you could tell how to feed and train it, when to take it to the vet, etc.\n\nIf you have a hobby, that would make a good topic - genealogy, collecting buttons, etc.\n\nPut a little humor into your speech - that will make it go over!\n\nHere is a site that lists some specific topics for an informative speech.\nhttp://personal.bgsu.edu/~ramune/infotopics.html

Use an old paper that you got an A on and turn it into a speech.  I did this often in my speech class... I'd take an essay I had to write for english (with a good grade) and make a speech out of it.  Chose something you feel passionate about (this is important - because if you get lost during the speech, you can say anything that comes to mind)... write up an intro, three points, and a conclusion.  Simple.

I took interpersonal communication and loved it.  It was very informative.  I have heard that some people did not find it informative or interesting.  I think it depends on the teacher and the topics covered.  I would ask around at the school and see if you can find someone who has taken it and see what they think.  My class was an easy A as long as you showed up and read the text.

I forget, can the 'visualize' part of Monroe's Motivated Sequence be used to depict something you think we should -avoid-?  In that case I'd suggest a speech/paper about the eroding privacy and citizens' rights in the US wherein the "visualize" stage describes a 1984-esque scenario that could occur if we don't take action now ... er, or if that's not something you agree with/believe in I suppose you could always do one of the generic topics like urging folks to recycle, buy hybrid cars, cut back on fast food consumption, exercise more, etc ... or heck, MMS is often used as a "selling" strategy, isn't it?  If you're into stuff like this perhaps you could use it to urge folks to go out and buy, I dunno, a Nintendo Wii or a PS3 when they come out ... ?

Here is my suggestion:\n\nTalk about something you are passionate about, and focus on the kids in the group that you really want to hear your message.  If you have something specifically for the teacher, to impress her/him, that is okay, but it won't get the points that inspiring your audience will.\n\nSo, pick a topic that you know about and want to talk about.  Maybe you have an opinion that you would love to share but don't usually have the forum or the opportunity to share.  Maybe you would just love to speak to the masses about your favorite movie.  (Some people are really into a particular movie.)  Maybe you would love to give your opinion of "Napoleon Dynamite" or "Planet of the Apes."  \n\nI think you have said that you have already chosen a topic.  Is it interesting to YOU?  Is it something that you feel passionate about?  If so, you are almost there.\n\nThen, practice, practice, practice.  Talk to yourself about it.  Talk to your baby sister.  Talk about your topic.  Run it over your tongue.  Then, pull it together into a speech.  And...  you guessed.  Practice the speech.  Did it sound okay?  Did it go from one point to another without seeming to be mixed up?  Try it again.  Practice to yourself.  You know the mirror thing?  Yup.  Practice in front of a mirror.  Don't forget to make eye contact with the part of the audience that you are particularly trying to reach.  Don't forget appropriate gestures.  Don't bite your nails.  Don't play with your buttons.  Don't put your hands in your pockets.  If there is a podium, start with your hands on the podium and lean forward to engage your audience.  Then, pull back, walk away from the podium and work the audience.  Get their attention.  Engage them.  The speech is for them.  If props are appropriate, be sure to engage your audience with the props.  Can they see the pictures, handle the items, read the charts?  Make eye contact and move the engaged person's line of vision to the item with your eyes, with gestures, by moving the item closer.\n\nGood luck.  Honestly, you can have fun with this.  Someone in your class wants to hear what you have to say.  Someone else needs to hear what you have to say.  Someone else doesn't know they will be interested until you draw them in.  That makes three people you need to reach -- and the teacher.  You have an audience in those people and others might follow. \n\nYou can do this!  You will be totally prepared!  No one will be more ready than you.\n\nEnjoy.  Stay focused!  It should be fun.  I'd love to hear your speech first hand, but it would be great to know what you get for a mark and how you feel about it when you are done!

What are you suposed to narrate?  Once you figure that out, you can probably find olots of examples.\nAre you looking for a topic?  WHy don't you choose, "storms"?  After all, this country has been hit hard by hurricanes and tornadoes so much this year, it should be easy to find loads of information and examples all over the web.\ngood luck!  If this doesn't help, add some information to your question;  or, ask your mom or dad.. or, older sibling, if you have one!

When i took speech last semester, I did my persuasive speech on 'Batman: Greatest Superhero of All Time' \n\nCould insert a different superhero if you don't like Batman- but my speech teacher LOVED this topic. \n\nI have a friend who (this semester) did hers, trying to convince ppl that Star Wars is a religion. I know, its nerdy, but people liked it because it was a nice change of pace.

Tell him that people only remember the speeches that are truly touching and 'out of the box' for the person. If he wants to make a good impression that will be remembered he needs to have something special. The verse sounds good.

"Brilliant school." Now there is an oxymoron.\n\nEDIT: I'm sorry. I suppose that was rude and cynical. Tell me about your brilliant new school.

i was telling one of those jokes where you describe a disgusting/sexual situation and set up the listener to say the answer, and then the joke is that they have done it before. i told the joke the day before in school, and everybody loved it. one girl was absent, so the next day, everybody wanted me to do the joke on her. so, when I tried, it took like half an hour because she was so ditzy she couldn't figure out what i was trying to say.

How about a closing paragraph/sentence about how beneficial it would be to incorporate all those strategies into university life and the difference it could make to overall success?\n\nI hope this helps.
