Answer preview

Delivering an informative speech requires adequate preparation where the speaker should have enough knowledge about the topic. It also needs the speaker to familiarize with the audience so that he/she can identify the best channels to use to deliver the speech. For instance, in my case, I understand that my audiences are students from Everytown High School who are currently studying global warming which is a topic that I should give them more information about so that they can comprehend it to the core. Therefore, the best source I would use for my informative speech would be a documentary explaining about global warming.

Documentaries are good informative sources…
