Below is my assignment for my CST110, an information speech about misinformation.

My topic for a 5-6 minute informative speech is how misinformation spreads rapidly through platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, affecting public perception and decision-making.

Topic for Informative Speech: For my informative speech, I am considering exploring the impact of misinformation on public opinion, specifically in the context of social media. The specific purpose of my address is to inform my audience about how misinformation spreads rapidly through platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, affecting public perception and influencing decision-making. I aim to highlight the challenges of distinguishing between accurate and misleading information in the digital age.

I must complete the outline after choosing the topic for the information speech.

Instructions (50 points)

• This assignment is a typed full-sentence speech outline. It would be best to write out everything you research and plan to say in your speech, complete with in-text parenthetical citations and a reference/works cited/bibliography page citing at least three sources to support your address.

• This outline includes everything you plan to say in your speech. It should be written in an outline format with hierarchical alpha-numerical numbering and indentations for different point levels.

• REMEMBER: This is not an essay! No paragraphs!
• You must use at least three outside sources to support your evidence in your speech. These can include interviews (that you can conduct yourself!), newspapers, magazines, (credible and reliable) websites, podcasts, or blogs. You do not need to cite them aloud in your speech, though you might lend credibility to it.
• You must include your name, the topic of your speech, your specific purpose, and your thesis at the top. (See page 208 of your book for definitions and examples).
