Before we can leap straight in to writing our speeches it's important we understand a little about speeches and what makes an effective delivery.
There are 5 different types of speeches
1 - Informative (telling/teaching people something)
2 - Demonstrative (showing people something)
3 - Entertaining (amusing people)
4 - Motivating (inspiring people)
5 - Persuasive (convincing people)
A speech can be a combination of these but generally one will be the 'main' speech type.
