Top 10 Great Educational Speech Topics

By Matthew Davis


When you're asked to give a lecture, it is important to bear in mind that there are three different types of speeches: informative, demonstrative, and persuasive. An educational speech is based on the fact only and used to apprise the audience about a certain subject. A demonstrative speech tells the onlookers the best way to perform a certain task like the simplest way to carve a pumpkin, set up an email account, change the oil in your automobile, etc... A convincing speech is a speech given in the hopes of swaying an audience to trust in what the speaker is saying, as an example a political speech.

When researching the topic you've selected, do not hesitate to utilize the Net. AboutTopics.com has a lot of great educational speech concepts! In order to make your speech better it is important to remember the following points about your audience when choosing your topic: what are their interests? What's their understanding of the topic? Will you be able to tell them something new and expand on what they know?

Some good informative speech ideas are:

1. Your career/career you would like to have

2. Hobby

3. Favourite holiday spot

4. Music/musician

5. Actor/actress

6. Sport/athlete

7. Pet/animal

8. Exercise

9. Life-style/culture

10. Technology

When thinking about informative speech ideas do not hesitate to look around at what you know. In order to give a good informative speech, select some subjects that you know a lot about and would like to learn far more about. Make sure you pick a subject that you like. Love your topic. If you like your subject your passion will show in your speech, which will help keep your audience's attention. Tell your audience why they should really know about your topic. Don't be frightened to be different in your speech. Get up and get moving, don't be afraid to walk and move around as you talk to help engage your audience. Use props and visuals to help your audience visualise and see what you are informing them. Remember to make eye contact with as many people as you can so they feel you are talking with them and not at them. Changing your tone and volume often will also help keep your audience's attention.

When giving an educational speech, remember to research your topic thoroughly and to have fun with your speech. The more you enjoy it, the more your audience will like it!
