Informative
Event Description:
InformativeTime Limit: Up to 10 min.
Informative is a speech written by the student with the intent to inform the audience on a topic of significance. Informative gives students the unique opportunity to showcase their personality while educating the audience. Visual aids are allowed, but NOT required. If aids are used, then they should work well within the speech and not detract from or disrupt the flow of presentation.
An Informative is not simply an essay about the topic—it is a well researched and organized presentation with evidence, logic, and sometimes humor to convey a message. Topics are varied and interesting. Whether it be a new technological advance the audience is unaware of or a new take on a concept that everyone is familiar with, Informative is the students opportunity to teach the audience. Types of topics and structure vary greatly.
Please use the following ballot for reference. We do not use points, but we should refer to totals to help in final ranking in order to lessen personal bias.
