 If you select a topic of some controversy, an informative speech would   describe the various sides, or the pros and cons, but not move further to persuade the audience to feel a certain way
 
 Reminder:  you must conduct research on this topic, and have at least 4 sources in your bibliography.
 

 Gun Control
 Drunk Driving
 Drug Legalization
 Abortion
 Eating disorders
