Hi, There's a great list on web page below.

Use a topic that you believe in for your persuasive speech and back it up. Try a current event topic. How about, "Why black Americans should  stop using the n-word." Use the Michael Richardson or "Kramer" ranting as your basis. Good luck.

You have to talk about something that everyone wants to talk about.\n\nSimple as that... But at the same time... Not easy!\n\nPlus you have to promote it so that people can find it.

Informative Speech Topics\nIt is easiest to use a topic you are already familiar with, in which you and your audience are interested in. Using a visual aid means that is has to be a practical matter you will talk about. I have no idea what your interest and your field of study are, however, here some thoughts:\n\nExamples\n* Acupressure. You may note some points from books, or inquire with an acupuncturist, and have a model (a CO-student) to allow you to demonstrate the points. You explain, how acupressure works and how you trigger the points by pressure. What points are for what and so on. You can mention needles and the plus and minus of them. I heard that acupressure was the original form of treatment and that needles were used in ancient China so that a physician could treat several patients at once. Acupressure requires that one person stands by for the treatment!\n\n* Ice-cream. Demonstration of how to make ice-cream if you have an ice-cream maker and can prepare the ice-cream, giving out samples. You may speak about different recipes, almond milk ice-cream for those allergic to milk, using some chocolate cookies in the ice cream etc. - after all has been practiced at home! Or you may bring someone who knows and does it, while you explain.\n\n* Sewing. You may bring a portable sewing machine and demonstrate how to sew a pouch for pencils, coins etc. If you do not know how to sew, you may bring someone to demonstrate it.\n\n* Flash light. There are these new flash lights, which work with a magnet and a Tesla coil to generate free energy! No battery needed. You can talk about the mechanism and demonstrate how you shake the flash light and it gives light! Bring an ordinary flash light to compare, showing the batteries, which always tend to be emptied fast!\n\n* Sunglasses. You could make it funny and demonstrate how different sunglasses make one look in different ways: sophisticated, arrogant, handicapped, fashionable, intellectual etc. You can demonstrate the sun glasses on yourself or on a model (CO-student). You can talk about sun and dust protection, mere fashion statements and hiding behind sun glasses. Also about colored glasses and their effects. Some Arabs, I heard, do business meetings with sun glasses on, so that the others cannot see one's eyes, not to reveal any intent. For the eyes are the windows to the soul.\n\n* Dinshah Color MedicineTM. I personally would demonstrate how Dinshah Color MedicineTM is used. A self-made filter holder is taped to a regular reading lamp. Then the color filter (gel), is placed in the filter holder and the colored light shines on the bare skin of the selected area. Dinshah was a physician from India and had manifested miracles with his color system, when nothing else would help! (www.biochakra.com) Each color has certain properties the other colors do not have. Cramps are relieved by Dinshah Orange, abscesses opened by Dinshah Turquoise, sun burn is helped with Dinshah Red (yes, Red!), sun stroke with Dinshah Blue! And much more, there are 12 colors.\n\nI think you got the idea. You may modify the given examples or find your own! You may think of an action you could do in the class room, and then research the history, the uses, the pros and cons and bring a device to demonstrate the process. Use your imagination, think outside the box!\n\nMuch success and more fun!\nCordially, India.Magica

Option 1: take a controversial topic and defend one side. (like abortion, immigration, national security, homosexuality, etc.)\n\nOption 2: take a ridiculous topic and defend one side (like "the sky is purple" "people should eat elephants" "convicts should eat each other" "Canada should annex Zimbabwe" etc"\n\nOption 3: take a mediocre topic and talk about it (like "people are good" "I should have an A on this presentation" etc.)

you should talk about something you like and you are good at (for example a hobby) or about an issue that really interests you. this way you won't run out of ideas and won't make embarrassing pauses.and try imagining the audience in underwear,it works :)good luck

illegal immigration\nembryonic stem cell research and use\nenergy (oil drilling in ANWR, foreign dependency, alternative sources)\nmedication use (for instance, drugs should/should not be used to treat depression because...)\nvaccinations\nwhat should be taught in public schools about a topic (such as sex and religion)\nshould parents know when kids go on birth control\ndrug advertisements (should/should not be used, may alter what doctors/patients think/choose, etc.)\norgan donation\nanother idea is to pick a law and say whether it's good/bad & why, should it change, etc.\nmake sure the topic you choose is age and school appropriate (for instance, if you're 11, talking about birth control and sex might not be the best choice)

Good question:\n\nIf you are going to do an oration or persuasive speech its good to start with a problem or a current trend that is somewhat controversial (but not overly political) and offer an alternative.\n\nexamples:\n\n1.Americans rely too much on modern drugs and medicine as the sole treatment for depression. rather, we should be willing to make broader lifestyle changes for a long term solution to sadness.\n\n2. A college education is becoming increasingly important for success but it is also becoming increasingly expensive. many people who are very intelligent are incapable of affording a good education. this hurts the individual and the economy. rather, the government should make it easier for capable students to afford higher education. \n\n3. Many towns across the country are banning smoking in private restaraunts and clubs. While it is proven that smoking is bad for your health, these bussineses are privately owned and it should be up to the owner to take the risk of either banning or allowing smoking. Individuals can make the choice rather or not to eat or hang out at these places. \n\nHopefully this helps you out. Your welcome to use any of these three and if you need any more ideas just ask. But you should get the general idea. \n\nGood luck!

specify the debate topic please...if you have to make one up i would say either birth control/abortion rights, women's rights/feminism, the necessity of the war in iraq, or same-sex marriage/homosexiality...all of which are good topics which could create a nice debate
