Event Description:

Expository speaking is an informative speech that is five minutes long without the use of a visual aid (note: some tournaments permit the use of visual aids but at Nationals none are used). Students who participate in Expository provide unique and interesting information to the audience. An effective Expository introduces them to either a completely new topic or something new about a topic people may know a lot about. Students who do this event would need to be well researched and personally invested in the topic they are wanting to speak on. If the topic is not meaningful to the person it may become harder to deliver the speech to the audience effectively.
