Decide what aspect of informative speech you'd like to write about. And decide what kind of paper you're going to write. It could be an essay, a report, an educational or scientific paper, or a research paper. The type of paper you choose will affect the paper's writing style.
Create your thesis statement. There are four kinds of informative speeches -- objects, processes, events and concepts -- so you have a wide range of topics to focus on. For example, if you want to compare two types of informative speech, your thesis should state which one is better and give a reason why.
Research informative speeches, and find supporting information and facts that help strengthen your thesis. Attend or watch videos of people giving informative speeches so that your paper will sound credible. To help you remember information, take notes while you research.
Make an outline so you can structure your paper in an organized manner. Structure your outline so that your paper can be created in the same format. This will save time when you write your paper.
Include the introduction, body and conclusion as the main sections. Since this is just an outline, briefly list ideas, reasons and facts in each section. The introduction should introduce your topic of informative speeches and your thesis. The body should list and briefly explain the main points of each idea, and how they support your thesis; briefly list references and examples. The final section should state your concluding idea and summarize the main points.
Organize your notes, and categorize the types of information you find according to how the outline is formatted. Sort through and pick the best pieces of research that support, enhance and demonstrate your main ideas in the paper. When finished, your notes should be organized in the order that your research will be cited in the paper. Only use research information that is relevant to informative speeches. For example, if your paper is about the different types of informative speeches, include any references that cite examples of the different types.
Write the first draft of your paper in conjunction with your outline and notes. Format your paper the same way your outline is organized, and elaborate on each of the points made in the sections of the outline. An introduction, body and conclusion must be present in your paper. Your introduction should thoroughly introduce informative speeches and your thesis. The body includes all of your main ideas that support your thesis, and should be explained in detail. Your conclusion should summarize the main ideas of the paper and conclude them. Include references, citations, and examples to help strengthen your thesis, ideas and opinions in the paper. References will be easy to place in your paper if they are organized beforehand. The reader should have a clear understanding on what informative speech is, and what your thesis is trying to accomplish, so include some background information on the subject.
Edit your first draft for consistency, style and grammatical errors. Check the paper to make sure that it is consistent with your outline, and that nothing is left out. Use your computer's spell checker to catch small mistakes. Proofread to ensure that your main ideas and research support the thesis and are relevant to informative speeches as a whole. The entire paper should read in a logical manner.
Rewrite your final draft after you've made all of the necessary corrections, and re-read it again several times to catch any other mistakes. If you don't see any mistakes, your paper is finished.
