Informative Speech / Controversial Issue:  This is a speech clarifying a controversial issue of current interest, which you will address much like an investigative news report.  The purpose of this assignment is to share knowledge fromBOTH sides of the issue in a strictly objective manner, to build understanding.  This will enable your audience to make an informed/educated decision about a currently debated issue.  It will be your responsibility to present information equally representing both sides of the issue. You will need to develop at least two arguments on each side of the controversy and support those ideas with cited factual information and supporting evidence. When discussing each side of the issue you should be able to defend that position against opposing viewpoints, and then do the same for the other side of the same issue. You may develop each side with it’s own arguments; present one side and then the other. Or you may address the controversy in a point counter point structure.
