SPEECH III: SPEECH OF INFORMATION - 5 to 7 minutes
Speeches of exposition are designed to inform the audience about a concept, process, or event through the use and quotation of research and use a variety of developmental techniques (process analysis, cause-effect, and problem-solution).This speech is very similar to the last speech in which you defined a concept, idea, or process; however, you take it a step further and give additional background information regarding the concept, idea, or process. In addition, you inform your audience by using systematic research to develop your ideas. In the exposition speech you build upon the description by adding reasons or causes, demonstrating relationships, and offering reasons or analysis. Exposition speeches can be done through process analysis, cause-and-effect, or problem solution .
