Are men a victim of domestic violence as well?
You will pitch topics for three of five types of informative speaking. This means 3
total topic pitches from 3 different genre of informative speaking.
3) For each pitch the flowing items are required:
a) Identify the type & topic:
b) Find the background /audience relevance: (Gather a piece of current research –
within the past 3 years- supporting the topic that explains why it is significant right now.
Copy and past the part of the article (only a few lines are necessary) that provides the
relevant information you believe is pertinent to the speech being presented.)
c) Write a thesis for the potential topic:
A simplistic but often helpful Informative Thesis usually follows a basic formula to keep
you from leaning into persuasive territory. This is only a suggestion and not a required
format.
General Example: Today we will examine X (the topic) to better understand Y (the
significance on society).
Specific Example: Today we will examine the new HIV tampon to better understand the
latest development in rape prevention.
d) Provide the URL of the source for your pitch.
