Read the instructions carefully: The speech must be informative, increase awareness, and introduce the latest information on a topic or related facts, promoting understanding of an idea, term, or concept. Use at least three supporting materials from books, the Internet, research, expert opinions, magazines, etc., and clearly cite sources during the speech with oral citations. Avoid personal opinions or support based solely on yourself; the aim is to inform with credible sources.

The topic should be socially significant, challenging, and avoiding trivial or common knowledge subjects like smoking, exercise, diet, diseases, death, or dying. Instead, choose a creative, innovative topic you love that is appropriate for an academic setting.

The speech should be 4 to 5 minutes long. Practice delivering it aloud multiple times to stay within the time limit. Points may be lost if the speech exceeds five minutes, as you will be required to stop and may not complete your conclusion.

Structure your speech with a clear introduction and conclusion. The introduction must include: an attention-getter, a preview of three main points, your personal credibility, a connection with the audience, and a clear thesis statement. The conclusion should include a brake light (final closing statement), a review of main points, and a memorable final thought—never ending with "That’s it" or "I guess I’m finished."

Ensure smooth, logical transitions between speech components, such as "This leads me to my first point" or "Now that I’ve told you..., I’ll move on to..."

Develop each main point clearly and thoroughly. Use at least three different sources, cited orally during the presentation.

A visual aid—specifically PowerPoint—is required. The slides should enhance memory and understanding, visible and comprehensible to the audience. Test your PowerPoint on another computer to ensure proper function.

Deliver your speech with natural, conversational tone, extemporaneous style with note cards if desired. Use effective vocal, physical delivery skills, and eye contact to engage the audience. Do not read directly from your notes; practice enough to speak comfortably with minimal reliance on notes.
