Brainstorming potential topics

Part I

1. Start creating the informative speech thesis and main points, due in Week 4, by identifying three communication topics that you know about or care about within your professional work field or career path. To generate speech ideas grounded in your career and communication, consider your future or current occupation’s major educational milestones, skills, communication expectations, training requirements, or knowledge.
2. Identify two speech subtopics within each of those three main topics. You should, therefore, have a total of 6 ideas in your list that directly relate to your professional field or career path.
3. Topic 1
   • Subtopic 1
   • Subtopic 2

   Topic 2

   • Subtopic 1
   • Subtopic 2

   Topic 3

   • Subtopic 1
   • Subtopic 2
4. With your list, explain why these topics and subtopics are of interest to you and directly relevant to your professional field or career path.
5. Note: the time limit for this speech is 5–7 minutes. Please consider the following when you create your informational speech video:
   • Your introduction should engage your specific target audience specific to your career field or professional goals.
   • Your introduction should possess a single, purposeful career oriented or professional field driven thesis that previews the main points of your speech.
   • After the introduction, the body of your speech should have clear main points and smooth transitions between them that continue informing on a specific career or professional field.
   • Present your speech with objectivity, relevancy, and credibility.
   • Use your voice tone, inflection, and volume appropriately.
   • Use eye contact, facial expression, hand gestures, and other body language smoothly and appropriately in line with your words. Any other visual aids should be used appropriately as well.
   • In your conclusion, be sure that you relate back to the main points and provide a memorable final statement.

   Your speech should make relevant and effective use of sources that have been gathered from academic outlets that relate to your career field or professional goals.
