Why do we have climate change? Why do some countries and some companies resist reducing greenhouse gas emissions?

FINDING YOUR TOPIC - Presentation (Episode 2)

WHAT IS A GOOD TOPIC?

The first requirement of any speech topic is that it meets the expectations of your audience with respect to occasion and the immediate situation.

Regardless of the occasion, a good topic is one that involves you, engages your listeners, and be managed responsibly given the time allotted for preparing and presenting your speech.

A GOOD TOPIC INVOLVES YOU

    You're enthusiastic about what you're saying. your face shows your involvement in your topic. You voice expresses your feelings. Your gestures reinforce your meaning. Everything about you says, "This is important!" or "This is interesting!" or "This will make a difference in your lives!"

A GOOD TOPIC ENGAGES YOUR LISTENERS

    Their faces are alive with interest. They lean forward in their seats, intent on what you are saying. They nod or smile appropriately. At the end of your speech, they want to ask you questions about your ideas or voice their reactions. Long after your speech, they are thinking about what you said.

A GOOD TOPIC IS ONE YOU CAN MANAGE

    Think of your search for the right topic as a process that goes through phases of discovery (identifying broad topic areas), exploration (focusing on specific speech topics within these areas) and refinement (framing the general and specific purposes of a speech's topic and a thesis statement)
