Informative Speech Assignments Sample Speeches, Graphic Organizers

This public speaking activity set includes materials for teaching informative speeches. It contains information to help students research a speech, cite sources, and organize a speech.

Included in this informative speech activity:

✓ Student instructions for an informative speech (editable).
✓ A sample outline of a biographical speech AND a sample outline of another informative speech. (Both are editable.)
✓ A presentation to walk students through the process.
✓ Four worksheets: citing sources, researching a topic, organizing a speech.
✓ An outline rubric.
✓ A speech rubric.
✓ Graphic organizers to get students started.

All sample speeches have an attention gainer, introduction, thesis statement, at least two main points, and a conclusion. They are sentence outlines, not topic outlines.

These speech assignments will walk students through a standard informative speech. You may choose which speech assignment to complete with a class—a standard speech where students choose the organizational pattern, or a chronological pattern.

This item will get you through two speeches, or about two weeks of class time (dependent on the size of the class).

Public speaking is one of the worst fears in the world--and my students always dread it whenever they start a new semester of learning a new type of speech or practicing an old type. However, thanks to your great product, classes have been made more interesting and engaging for them! Thanks a bunch! :)

This was absolutely perfect for helping my students organize their speeches and research!

This resource was very helpful in preparing my students for their informative speeches in our Public Speaking Class!
