You’ve learned a lot about effective speaking and you’re
already working on improving your
delivery skills. It’s time to take the next step toward becoming a
powerful speaker! Your second
assignment is to prepare and deliver a researched, informative
speech. Everything you’ve read
and practiced so far in this course relates directly to successful
informative speaking.
Instructions: In order to obtain full credit for this assignment,
please complete all six steps
below. You may want to print this assignment and check off
each step as you complete it.
You should use at least two quality resources (as defined by
your instructor).
STEP 1: Read Assigned Chapters
q Ensure you have completed chapter readings for all previous
weeks. This information
will help you successfully complete Assignment 2.
q Chapter 9: Organizing the Body of the Speech. This chapter
will help you create a well-
organized speech that connects with your audience.
q Chapter 10: Beginning and Ending the Speech. This chapter
will help you prepare a
strong introduction and conclusion for your speech.
STEP 2: Select a Topic (due Week 3)
q Select a type of informative speech from one of four types
listed below. Choose your
own topic that is different from the provided examples.
q Submit your topic to your instructor by Week 3 for approval.
Types of Informative Speeches
(Choose only one type and then choose your own topic that
differs from the examples.)
Speech About an Object
Examples:
Speech About a Process
Examples:
• Legos

• Susan B. Anthony
• Matterhorn
• flash floods
• writing resumes

• the stages of dementia
Speech About an Event
Examples:

Speech About a Concept
Examples:

STEP 3: Create an Outline (due Week 4)
q Create an outline or speaking notes in Microsoft Word. A
sample template is available in
the “Assignment 2 Outline” section located in Week 4 of your
course.
q Develop a specific purpose, central idea, and several main
points so you'll stay within
the 6-minute time limit.
q Go to the Week 4 Assignment 2: Outline section and upload
your outline.
STEP 4: Deliver, Record, and Upload Your Speech (due Week
5)
q Refer to your outline or speaking notes to deliver your speech.
Do not read your notes
word for word. Make sure you record your speech delivery with
a computer, phone, or
tablet. For help recording and uploading your speech, go to the
“Kaltura Media
and Webcam Recorder Help” link located in the Help/Resources
tab (left-hand
navigation bar in Blackboard)!
q Watch your recording. Do you want to submit it, or do you
want to record another
version?
q Proceed directly to Step 5 to upload your speech for review.
NOTE: This step MUST
be completed by the end of Week 5 to avoid losing points on the
“Self and Peer Review:
Assignment 2” assessment. If you do not submit your speech for
review by the
Submission Dates deadline, you will not be eligible to receive
points for the “Self and
Peer Review: Assignment 2” assessment.
STEP 5: Go to Week 6 “Self and Peer Review: Assignment 2”
and Create Link to Your
Submitted Speech Video [Complete immediately after Step 4
above]

“View/Complete Assessment” link
under the “Self and Peer Review: Assignment 2” section.
q To share a link to your recording of Assignment 2:
Informative Speech, click on the
"Question 1" link.
q Choose "Mashups" in the toolbar and click the button. (If the
"Mashups" option is
not visible, click the double arrows icon on the far right of the
toolbar that says "Show
More.")
q Select "Kaltura Media" from the list.
q Find the name of the video you wish to share and click
"Select" on the right-hand side.
q Your video link should appear. Click on “Submit” to
complete. Success!
STEP 6: Complete Self and Peer Review: Assignment 2
q Go to the Week 6 Self and Peer Review: Assignment 2
section.
q Scroll and select “View/Complete Assessment” link.
q You will see three student speeches listed (one is your own).

name of the student you wish to review, watch the embedded
speech recording, and
then complete the assessment for each. As you answer each
question, click the “Save
and Next Criteria” button. After the final question, click the
“Save and Submit” button.
You can edit your answers any time before the Evaluation End
Date shown (after this
date, your answers are locked and cannot be edited).
q As you complete each review, the status will change from
