Informative Speech Topics\nIt is easiest to use a topic you are already familiar with, in which you and your audience are interested in. Using a visual aid means that is has to be a practical matter you will talk about. I have no idea what your interest and your field of study are, however, here some thoughts:\n\nExamples\n* Acupressure. You may note some points from books, or inquire with an acupuncturist, and have a model (a CO-student) to allow you to demonstrate the points. You explain, how acupressure works and how you trigger the points by pressure. What points are for what and so on. You can mention needles and the plus and minus of them. I heard that acupressure was the original form of treatment and that needles were used in ancient China so that a physician could treat several patients at once. Acupressure requires that one person stands by for the treatment!\n\n* Ice-cream. Demonstration of how to make ice-cream if you have an ice-cream maker and can prepare the ice-cream, giving out samples. You may speak about different recipes, almond milk ice-cream for those allergic to milk, using some chocolate cookies in the ice cream etc. - after all has been practiced at home! Or you may bring someone who knows and does it, while you explain.\n\n* Sewing. You may bring a portable sewing machine and demonstrate how to sew a pouch for pencils, coins etc. If you do not know how to sew, you may bring someone to demonstrate it.\n\n* Flash light. There are these new flash lights, which work with a magnet and a Tesla coil to generate free energy! No battery needed. You can talk about the mechanism and demonstrate how you shake the flash light and it gives light! Bring an ordinary flash light to compare, showing the batteries, which always tend to be emptied fast!\n\n* Sunglasses. You could make it funny and demonstrate how different sunglasses make one look in different ways: sophisticated, arrogant, handicapped, fashionable, intellectual etc. You can demonstrate the sun glasses on yourself or on a model (CO-student). You can talk about sun and dust protection, mere fashion statements and hiding behind sun glasses. Also about colored glasses and their effects. Some Arabs, I heard, do business meetings with sun glasses on, so that the others cannot see one's eyes, not to reveal any intent. For the eyes are the windows to the soul.\n\n* Dinshah Color MedicineTM. I personally would demonstrate how Dinshah Color MedicineTM is used. A self-made filter holder is taped to a regular reading lamp. Then the color filter (gel), is placed in the filter holder and the colored light shines on the bare skin of the selected area. Dinshah was a physician from India and had manifested miracles with his color system, when nothing else would help! (www.biochakra.com) Each color has certain properties the other colors do not have. Cramps are relieved by Dinshah Orange, abscesses opened by Dinshah Turquoise, sun burn is helped with Dinshah Red (yes, Red!), sun stroke with Dinshah Blue! And much more, there are 12 colors.\n\nI think you got the idea. You may modify the given examples or find your own! You may think of an action you could do in the class room, and then research the history, the uses, the pros and cons and bring a device to demonstrate the process. Use your imagination, think outside the box!\n\nMuch success and more fun!\nCordially, India.Magica

Any search of "public relations", "business communicaton", or similar will yield you a lot of literature.  Since you're in school, you should ask your reference librarian for help.\n\nThe current trend in research in this area indicates that proper capitalization and cprrect use of pronouns and verbs are integral to effective communication.

It depends on what you want to talk about!

I agree with the poster above, try to come up with an interesting fact about TJ, then weave that into your intro while at the same time introducing what's to come.  Try to pick a fact that you could use at the end to close and summarize in the same way.

One thing you want to do for sure is only use the slides for emphasis of main points. If you read from it or a piece of paper you will put people to sleep. Know your material and tell the story changing the cadence of your voice and looking at your audience. You have a most interesting topic - although it sounds rather broad. What is the relationship you are looking for between the topics you have mentioned? How are you going to hook them together. Find an anecdote if you can that makes the connection. Good luck.

Since I don't know what your hobbies or interests are, my advice is to offer you a few suggestions to guide your thinking as to the choice of topics. In my experience, the best speech you can give is about a subject that: \n\na) you know very well, so that you will have some material to talk about for five minutes. Because this is a persuasive speech, you should think about at least three arguments that support your position on the subject. You may be able to come up with more than three but pick the three strongest ones and go with those. \n \nb) you feel passionately about, so that you will be persuasive. See a) above.  \n\nRemember, when you deliver your speech you become the expert on the subject. Your knowledge and passion about the subject are what will make you persuasive. \n\nSee if you can come up with a list of a few topics just by brainstorming about things that fulfill both criteria above. Then narrow it down to a subject that you feel you can write and talk about.\n   \nLastly, five minutes is not a very long time in terms of speeches, so you might want to practice your speech with a timer so that you can be sure to make it within the time limit. Practice also helps you memorize your speech so you won't need notes, in case you lose them.\n\nGood luck and have fun!

Learning how to form a sentence would be a good start at this point. From there, who knows, maybe one day you will learn how to speak, but you better take your time.

The best thing you can do is PRACTICE.  Write an outline on a couple notecards -- that are the major points of your speech.  Remember those points - and you will be able to talk freely on the topic.  But really, just practice what you need to say - and it will go smooth.
