In chapter 13, I discovered there were 5 types of informative speeches. There are speeches about objects and places, people and other living creatures, processes, events, and ideas and concepts. Speeches about objects and places will be about “any nonliving, material thing that the human senses can perceive” or “geographical locations”. Speeches about people and other living creatures will of course be about a specific person, animal, or creature. Speeches about events can be “personal or otherwise known about”, and “can take place in the past, present, or future”. Speeches about ideas and concepts are about thoughts, understandings, beliefs, notions or principles. Ideas and concepts can also be actualized over time. All of these different categories will affect the title, thesis, topic and specific purpose differently. My topic falls under the category or objects and places. Now that I have some examples, I have a better understanding how to conduct my outline and even need to change a few things.
