Post your top 5 informative presentation topics of choice (#1 first choice, #2, #3, #4, #5). Please reference the class demographic data to see what topics may interest the class the most. In your post, please explain the following for each of your prospective topic choices:
• Subject: What area would you like to explore for this topic?
• Topic: This should be a more specific aspect of your subject – it should not be broad.
• Specific Speech Topic Title: This should include what you plan to educate the audience (as well as yourself) on your topic matter.
• Credibility statement: Provide a short explanation about why you chose your topic and your personal experience with the content. This can be any prior or current educational experience, first-hand personal experience, future career interest, etc.
Examples:
• Subject: Medical Emergency Procedures
• Topic: Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
• Specific Speech Topic Title: The history of CPR and how to perform the procedure on adults, children, and yourself.
• Credibility Statement: I chose to do my presentation on CPR because I have been certified consecutively for the last 5 years through the American Red Cross Foundation and I once had to perform the procedure on a family member which saved their life.
• Subject: Astrophysics.
• Topic: The topic is Black Holes.
• Specific Speech Topic Title: To infinity and beyond – a guide to Black Holes. I would talk to my audience about the formation of black holes, basic aspects, theories etc.
• Credibility statement: The reason for choosing this topic was based on my interest in Astrophysics. I have attended a few seminars on Astrophysics and quantum mechanics in high school. These seminars not only astonished me but also helped develop a deep interest in this area. In my free time, I often research new discoveries and theories in this area. Thus, my personal interests encourage me to share the theories and history of black holes.
• Subject: American History
• Topic: 2000 Presidential Election
• Specific Speech Topic Title: An analysis and aftermath of the 2000 Election between George W. Bush and Al Gore.
• Credibility Statement: Ever since I was younger, I always found it interesting how people remember this election, and how there are two stories. I would be puzzled when someone told me Gore was the real winner, or how Bush was the correct winner. It prompted me to spend time looking into this; especially after 2020
• Subject: Chronic Illness
• Topic: Diabetes
• Title: Type 1 Diabetes
• Credibility Statement: My sister was diagnosed with type one diabetes many years ago. My family’s lives have changed drastically since she has been diagnosed and I would love to share about how to deal with this sort of disease and inform the audience more about it. This is a topic that many people are misinformed about.

• Think of your personal interests, knowledge, and experiences
• Identify any unique events or relevant news the audience may/or may not be aware of (but should care about)
