COM 115 Fundamentals of Public Speaking: Informative Speech

Overview

A reminder: your informative speech requires a total of 6 sources, 5 must be from a library database or Google Scholar.  One may be from a credible online source outside of the library (see the Website evaluation video on how to evaluate online sources!).  In addition to using the Discover@MSU search box to find articles, we have content specific databases like dictionaries/encyclopedias/biographies that contain background information, context, and information about people- perfect for an informative speech!
