understanding of a topic, provide alternatives, or to raise awareness.

Types of informational speeches:

helps clarify or simplify concepts, theories, or ideas that are unfamiliar to

them.

on the steps that comprise a process.

sample topic: How to Wash One’s Hands the Right Way

Descriptive Speech-It provides details to allow the audience to form a

mental image of a person, place, or thing.

sample topic: How Prolonged Online Activity Affects One’s Mental Health

Explanation Speech- It gives the audience a deeper understanding of a

given topic by explaining, describing, and informing the audience about

the hows and whys of a subject.

Illustration of Practice:

As a student leader, Joey is very concerned about the health and safety

of his schoolmates during the COVID-19 pandemic. To help protect them, he created a video that intends to inform them about precautionary measures. In one of his videos, he talked about handwashing. Let's find out what he shared through the illustration below.

Joey delivered a demonstrative speech, focusing on the steps in handwashing.

Below is an example of how a reader can extract essential pieces of

information from it.

Handwashing is an effective way to prevent the

You need to wear facemasks during the

COVID-19 pandemic. They help limit the

spread of germs. When someone talks,

coughs, or sneezes they may release tiny

drops into the air that can infect others. If

you are sick, wearing a face mask can

reduce the number of germs that you

release and can protect other people from

becoming sick. A face mask also protects

your nose and mouth from splashes or

sprays of body fluids.
