"If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it." ―Margaret Fuller This is the thing about informative speeches I like the best. The speech tells you so much that you can walk out of the room having learned a lot. Informative speeches are often given in high schools and colleges in an initiative of sharing different information; lots of it. When you give a speech on a certain topic, you don't only learn while preparing for it, but also teach others when you deliver it. Yes, I agree there are many informative speech topics, but one thing we must remember is to pick up a topic that will educate the one who listens. Before we proceed to some topics, let us glance at some of these tips that might come in handy while delivering a speech. First, you need to remember that informative speech topics are vast. This makes it important for us to limit ourselves while talking. People tend to get bored when they have to listen to a lot. Speak only that which is very interesting. Dorothy Sarnoff logically said, "Make sure you have finished speaking before your audience has finished listening." Second, you need to really understand the term interesting even though it is relative. All controversial speech topics make interesting topics for informative speeches. Talking about what has been or is being talked about is always a good thing to do. Last, your command over the language has to, has to be good while delivering an informative speech. I say this because you have to keep the attention of your audience captured till the very end. List of Interesting Topics for Informative Speeches For High School Students
