Introduction: There are certain instances wherein you may be asked to give a few words to a group of people. When you are
giving a speech, it is important to know what the occasion is and what kind of speech you have to give. In this lesson, you will
discover what type of speech is appropriate based on the purpose of the event you are attending.
1. Time Frame: 3 hours
2. Gain the following thinking skills from learning the lesson:
A. Remembering – students should identify the different types of informative speeches according to purpose
B. Understanding – students should distinguish the different types of informative speeches from one another
C. Applying – students should gather/research an informative speech based on different contexts.
3. Apply their learning about the types speeches according to purpose such as their definitions and the guidelines on how
to write a specific speech relevant to its purpose, so that the students can explicitly show the skill as expected. Moreover,
students can apply the lesson and activities in real-life situations anytime in the future.
2. Overview of the Lesson: Public speaking is the act of speaking in front of a sizable number of people. This involves a
single speaker and an audience. The speaker is tasked to deliver a message or a speech of general interest to the
audience or in keeping with the theme or the purpose of the event. Speeches can be classified in two ways: according to
purpose and according to delivery. When classified according to purpose, there are three basic types of speeches:
Expository or Informative Speech, Persuasive Speech, and Entertainment Speech
Student’s Experiential Learning:
Chunk 1: Read me out loud [Drawing Attention to Meaning] and Introduction to types of speeches according to purpose

Formative questions:
1. Why is it important to include all the relevant information in making and delivering a speech?
2. Why is it important to make a speech relevant to its intended purpose?
Read me out loud: The students will be given sample informative speeches with either complete or incomplete information that
they need to read about. After the activity, they should answer the following questions:
1. Was there a lack of information on the sample speeches? If so, why should the information in a speech be complete?
2. Was the information in sample speeches enough to convey meaning about the topic? If so, why?
 Relate students’ responses to the concepts for the session’s discussion
Introduction to Types of Speeches According to Purpose
1. Expository or Informative Speech - This type of speech is given to provide the audience with information regarding a
topic or to expand their knowledge about a topic that they are already familiar with. An expository or informative speech may be a
description speech, an explanation speech, a demonstration speech, or a reportorial speech.
Characteristics of an Expository or Informative Speech
Because expository speeches provide facts and relevant information, they should have the following characteristics:
1. Credible- The audience is more likely to listen to you if they see that you are fully prepared and qualified to speak about the
topic. Otherwise, you would not be able to hold the interest of the audience members if they know that you do not have
expertise on the subject matter. Also, the listeners would lose interest if they see that you cannot identify with them or that you
give the impression that you are being untruthful. To build credibility, present valid arguments and sound reasoning, relate with
the audience and be honest.
2. Accurate- You need to show the audience that you are well-informed and that you know what you are talking about. A good
 informative speech presents accurate information that is up-to-date, reliable, and uncorrupted.
3. Clear- You must clearly convey the information to avoid misinterpretation and confusion among the audience. To ensure the
clarity of your speech, use simple words and straightforward sentences, define unfamiliar concepts, and choose an
organizational pattern, such as chronological, spatial, or cause-effect, that will clearly present the information.
4. Memorable- Make a long-lasting impact on the audience by being memorable. Show enthusiasm, creativity, and sincerity. It
is also essential that you build rapport with the audience. Engage them by sharing a personal experience, asking a provocative
question, and telling a humorous story, among others.

Chunk 2: Thumbs-up or thumbs-down [Prompting Connections to Prior Knowledge] and types of Expository or Informative
Speech
Formative questions:
1. What types of expository speech do learners have known and experienced to write and perform?
2. What did they do to make their speeches effective?
Thumbs-up or thumbs-down: The students will be asked to raise their right hand. The teacher will read statements
related to expository speech. For every statement or scenario that agrees with or is experienced by the students, they will
have to thumbs-up, thumbs-down if not. Here are samples of statements/scenarios for the activity.
Scenario1: Have you tried to make and deliver a speech in which you provide a vivid picture of a person, a place, or an
object? Examples of speech topics for a description speech are describing the tallest building in the world, the symptoms of
ulcer, and the splendor of the Banaue rice terraces.
Scenario 2: Have you tried to describe or explain an event or an issue that is interesting, significant, or unusual in a
speech?
Scenario 3: Reflecting back during the heights of the pandemic, have your teachers let you make a video presentation
where you had to demonstrate on how something is done?
Scenario 4: As a student, have you tried to define a concept, term, or an abstract topic (e.g., idea, principle, philosophy) at
the front of your classmates?
 From the activity, students will answer the following processing questions:
1. What statement or scenario did you relate the most and why so?
2. How did you come up with speech to make sure that it would meet its intended purpose.
4 Types of expository/informative speech
Students will be presented the video clips depicting the 4 types of expository speech. The students should identify what are the
video clips all about.

Explanation:
1. Description Speech- This provides a vivid picture of a person, a place, or an object. It provides an image of the subject in the
audience’s minds through sensory details such as sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Examples of speech topics for a
description speech are describing the tallest building in the world, the symptoms of ulcer, and the splendor of the Banaue rice
terraces.

2. Explanation Speech- This explains or defines a concept, term, or an abstract topic (e.g., idea, principle, philosophy). It
provides facts, etymology of words or concepts, classification, examples, and other relevant details. Examples of speech topics
for a definition speech are explaining the effects of global warming, the concept of romanticism, and the term opportunity cost in
economics.

3. Demonstration Speech- This presents information about how to do something or how something is done. It gives the
audience detailed information of a certain process in order to achieve a particular task or information about how something
happens. Examples of speech topics for a demonstration speech are explaining how to track animals in the wild, how to make
soap, and how to create a compelling résumé.

Observation:
Explanation:
4. Reportorial Speech- Similar to a report or a newscast, this serves to describe or explain an event or an issue that is
interesting, significant, or unusual. When used for giving information about an event, a reportorial speech helps explain to the
audience what happened, why it happened, and what resulted from the event. When used to provide information regarding an
issue, it promotes understanding by presenting the reasons for why an issue exists and what its implications and effects are.
Examples of speech topics for a reportorial speech include the papal visit, the outcome of the national elections, and the
implementation of the reproductive health law.
