Informative  Pick something you’re interested in.  NOTE: You CANNOT modify another class project or someone else’s speech to create your speech—that is plagiarism. If your speech content is plagiarized, you fail the course.  After thinking of topics, see the discussion in the book about topic selection.  Otherwise, think about a particular skill or knowledge area you could find some sources on and share more about with the class in a 10-minute speech that uses ‘visual aids’ – also called ‘presentation aids.’  Pick something you’re interested in.  NOTE: You CANNOT modify another class project or someone else’s speech to create your speech—that is plagiarism.
