2. Speech Topic & Topic Keywords

Selecting a topic can be challenging.  Your instructor may offer a list of topics or allow students to choose their own.
 
Start by watching the video below, Selecting a Topic or consult one the following websites for topics: Informative topics, Persuasive topics, Pro-Con topics, or The Conversation
 
Once a topic has been selected, the next video, Brainstorm Keywords for Your Topic, will help you create a list of topic keywords.
