Directions: Using the topic of the news report read to you in Activity 1, write a brief informative speech on the spaces provided for. Use simple
words and apply the elements of news writing.

Remember the parts of the informative speech.
1.) Introduction – This sets the tone of the entire speech. The introduction should be
brief and to-the-point. You need to start solidly and launch the topic clearly.
2.) Body – The strategic organization helps increase the clarity and effectiveness of
your speech. The body contains the bulk of information in your speech and needs to
be clearly organized.
3.) Conclusion – The conclusion should be brief and tight. Make clear distinctions
(verbally and non-verbally) that you are now wrapping up the information and
providing final comments about the topic.
Tip: Create a clear structure for your speech by following the parts.
