For your next speech, you will be informing the audience about an object, event, group, person, or idea (an informative speech). In an informative speech, the goal is to give the audience information about a topic, but NOT persuade them. For example, you can give information about Madonna University, but you cannot say it's the best university or encourage people to go there. Using the following list, create an introduction and conclusion for an informative speech on each topic. You should clearly identify each part of the introduction and conclusion.

1) a local business you enjoy (but be careful - we tend to be persuasive when it's something we enjoy)

2) one of your family members or friends

3) an object on your desk or table
