Discuss the effects of substance abuse on physical and psychological health

A. What is it (informative speech topics are generally nouns: a person, place, thing, or idea), history or information or justification of what is being discussed? B. How it works, what it does, or what it means (easy and concise), and C. Other implications and or drawbacks of the topic, and perhaps benefits of knowing this new information. Your conclusion should have a restatement of its original thesis, a review of the major points, and a call back that provides a sense of closure to your original attention-getting step.
Your speech should have a minimum of 6 outside sources (quotations, references from fiction or nonfiction, web, or news print) quoted within the speech. That is to say that we should hear your sources while you are speaking (refer to the sample speeches for proper examples).

Your speech should be engaging. This is your time to shine, believe me, the more engaging you are the better reaction you will receive from your audience, it’s a cyclical process.
