You'll need to do some background research first to develop a good speech topic.
Some good places to find background information:
- Encyclopedias and reference books
- Credible websites
- Library databases
These Library databases help you find topics for speeches, credible information on those topics, and citations to other credible resources. When you're ready, move on to refining your topic.
