All informative speeches have an identifiable introduction, body, and conclusion.

Introduction: The introduction should compel the audience to listen (with an attention getter) and provide a preview. The preview usually includes the thesis statement and an overview of the main points.

Body: Your informative speech should contain three main points, organized in a way that helps the audience make sense of the message. Once the main points and organizational pattern are set, identify what evidence supports each main point and place these sub points in the correct location.

Conclusion: All informative speeches should include a brief summary of the main points. No new information should be given to the audience in the conclusion. An effective conclusion leaves the audience thinking about the speaker’s message.

Add a separate Reference Page at the end of the speech.
