The Informative/Enrichment Speech
The enrichment speech is intended to literally “enrich” your audience about something that it already cares about but wishes to know more.
In other words, you act as a teacher. This speech should address some issue that is either on people’s minds or relates to an audience’s current interests in some way.
Consequently, speeches of enrichment focus on development of ethos, which establishes a relationship with the audience, and a focus on the audience members’ interests with respect to current rhetorical situations that have put certain issues on the public agenda.
Required Components: Formal outline (submitted on Blackboard); a five (5)- minute extemporaneous speech; at least three sources (of which one should be peer reviewed)
