Part 1
There are several ways in which an informative speech can be presented to an audience. The first way is through definition. This involves defining concepts concisely and clearly through the use of strategies such as etymology, use or function, synonyms and antonyms among others. Identifying the functions or uses of an item, object or idea is also a way of defining. For instance, instead of using the word concrete, the speaker may decide to use the antonyms such as theoretical or abstract. The other way of presenting an informative speech is through the use of demonstrations. The speaker may give a verbal direction of doing something while physically demonstrating the necessary steps. For example, one may demonstrate how to use a certain washing powder while doing the actual washing. The third way of presenting an informative speech is the use of descriptions. This involves making verbal pictures and showing them to the audience. A good description is based on good observation where questions such as how does it look? How does it smell? And others are answered. For example, the speaker may decide to describe a certain scenario and engage the audience. The fourth way of presenting an informative speech is through narration. This involves sharing how an object came to be, how something works or the reason why something happened. Speakers use narration to support points that were given or introduce points that will be made. Narration may take the form of storytelling, and it works well in speeches that have events, processes, and issues, for instance, a speaker may decide to explain the process which is followed during presidential elections.
