Enumerate the Organizational Patterns

Personalize your speech

Giving a human face to a topic helps the audience perceive it as interesting. If your topic is related to the prevalence of drug addiction in a particular locale, or the treatment of a disease, putting a human face should not be difficult. To do it, find a case study you can describe within the speech, referring to the human subject by name. This conveys to the audience that these processes happen to real people.

Avoid Unnecessary Jargons

If you decide to give an informative speech on a highly specialized topic, limit how much technical language or jargon you use. It can become too difficult to "translate" your meanings, and if that happens, you will not effectively deliver information.

Make it Memorable

If you've already done the preliminary work in choosing a topic, finding an interesting narrowing of that topic, developing and using presentation aids, and working to maintain audience contact, your delivery is likely to be memorable.

Adjust Complexity to the audience

If your speech is too complex or too simplistic, it will not hold the interest of your listeners.

Clarity

In order for your listeners to benefit from your speech, you must convey your ideas in a fashion that your audience can understand. The _________ of your speech relies on logical organization and understandable word choices. You should not presume that your audience members would understand anything that seems clear to you. Formulate your work with the objective of being understood in all details, and rehearse your speech in front of peers who may provide feedback on whether the information in your speech makes sense.

Chronological Pattern

Information is arranged using a chronological structure to reflect the progression of time. The sub-points in each section or paragraph can be used to explain the significant events that took place within each particular moment in time. When writing a historical essay or a biography, this pattern is extremely helpful.

Informative speaking goals

Body

It contains the bulk of information in your speech and needs to be clearly organized.

Link Current Knowledge to New Knowledge

It is simply to use background knowledge to make an understanding of what the text means.

Introduction

It sets the tone of the entire speech. It should be brief and to-the-point as it accomplishes these several important tasks.

Read aloud your full-sentence outline

Listen to what you are saying and adjust your language to achieve a good, clear, simple sentence structure.

Accuracy

Part of being accurate is making sure that your information is current. You must confirm the accuracy and completeness of what you know, even if you know a great deal about your topic or wrote a good paper on it in a high school course. Most people understand that technology changes rapidly, so you need to update your information almost constantly, but the same is true for topics that, on the surface, may seem to require less updating.

Do a dress rehearsal of the speech under conditions as close as possible to those of the actual speech.

Practice the speech a day or two before in a classroom. Be sure to incorporate as many elements as possible in the dress rehearsal...especially visual aids.

Structuring an informative essay

informative speech

The goal of this speech is to take the complex subject matter and present information that allows the audience to understand the topic better. The speaker ultimately provides knowledge that is especially useful or interesting.

Comparison-Contrast

This can be used if you want to compare objects, events, or concepts underscoring their similarities and differences. This pattern will certainly function best when you are comparing and contrasting two or more objects or thoughts. Each object can be broken up and thoroughly described, leaving it to the reader to notice any similarities or discrepancies. Alternatively, you can divide each section or paragraph into its respective similarity and/or difference. If you opt for the latter, each specific similarity or difference should be covered in detail.

Topical/Categorical Pattern

This can be used if you want to inform your audience about the main features, descriptions, or categories of your topic. When writing does not fall into one of the aforementioned categories, it typically needs a topical organizational structure. With this structure, authors organize the sections or paragraphs according to various issues, taking into consideration what would make the reader the most sense. Your choice of how to organize your written project should be simpler if you keep in mind these patterns during the brainstorming stages of your writing.

Chronological Pattern

This can be used if you want to present the history, evolution, or development of your topic in sequential order, from past to present or beginning to end.

Cause-Effect Pattern

This can be used if you want to show the causal relationship between events or phenomena. Occasionally, if you are writing about a specific issue, you might discover that your argument is highlighting the unique root causes of that issue. You might even be able to detect the effects. If this is what you discover, cause-and-effect would be the best organizational structure to apply. This kind of pattern can be organized in one of two ways. There can be two major sections, one listing all the causes and the other all the effects. Alternatively, you could divide each part or paragraph according to the cause and its effect.

Speech about process

This focuses on a process or sequence of events. Visual aids are necessary.

Speech about Concepts

This focuses on beliefs, knowledge, theories, principles, or ideas. Examples of concepts include bioethics, human rights, free expression, religious liberty, and karma. All concepts share the trait of being abstract or general notions. Since concepts are less concrete than individuals or events, speeches discussing concepts can frequently be more challenging to prepare for and deliver.

Speech about Events

This focuses on events that happened, are happening, or might happen in the future.

Speech about Objects or people

This focuses on tangible items like gadgets, products, structures, or people.

Spatial Pattern

This pattern is used when you want to talk about the physical structure of an object or the way things fit together in a certain space (Glendale Community College; University of Washington Tacoma). It would be advantageous to utilize this pattern to describe a physical place since it will assist the reader in visualizing how something appears physically. Topics that deal with geography fit this pattern best.

Types of informative speeches

Make it Relevant and Useful

When thinking about your topic, it is always very important to keep your audience members center stage in your mind.

Keep information Limited

When you developed your speech, you carefully narrowed your topic in order to keep information limited yet complete and coherent.

Practice in front of a mirror, tape record your practice, and/or present your speech to a friend.

You are looking for feedback on rate of delivery, volume, pitch, non-verbal cues (gestures, card-usage, etc.), and eye-contact.

Speech about events

You might give a speech about an event that happens only once or rarely, such as a lunar eclipse, or an event that occurs on a regular schedule, such as the World Cup or an annual professional convention. Many event speeches tell the story of a historical event. One of the most important considerations in speaking about events is the need to tailor the information to your audience and demonstrate why it might be meaningful for them.

Interest

Your listeners will benefit the most if they can give sustained attention to the speech, and this is unlikely to happen if they are bored. This often means you will decide against using some of the topics you know a great deal about. To make your topic interesting, you will need to find a way to connect it with the audience's interests and curiosities.
