Sample Informative Speech
Title
Lyme Disease
Specific Purpose
After listening to my speech, my audience will be able to recall the basics of Lyme disease.
Central Idea
The basics of Lyme include the causes, symptoms with stages, and treatment of the illness.
Introduction
I. Attention Getter:
Picture yourself on a camping trip in one of California’s beautiful woodland area. All around are trees,
bushes, hills, and green grass. Nothing but you, nature…, and killers. Hiding out in the bushes, just
waiting for you to come close enough so they can jump on you. These killers are ticks.
II. Reveal the Topic:
You need to know about Lyme disease so you can take preventative measures. Someday you may
contract Lyme disease and you should know what the symptoms are and know how to quickly act. I
have done extensive research on Lyme disease and that is why I am knowledgeable on this subject.
III. Preview
I will be discussing the causes, symptoms, stages, and treatment of Lyme disease.
Body
I. The causative agent and vector of Lyme disease.
A. The causative agent “Borrelia burgdorferi” of Lyme disease (Bean and Fein 85).
B. The vector of Lyme disease.
II. Stages and Symptoms of Lyme disease.
A. Stage one of Lyme disease (Vanousová and Hercogová 103).
1. The rash: Erythema chronicum migrans (ECM).
2. Flu-like symptoms of Lyme disease.
B. Stage two of Lyme disease.
1. Description of 15% developed phase (Ljøstad 23).
2. Bell’s palsy – a drop in one or both sides of face
C. Stage three of Lyme disease.
1. Description of 60% developed phase.
2. Occurs within weeks to years after the bite (Sherman 55).
III. The treatment of Lyme disease.
A. The use of Penicillin to treat Lyme disease (Eppes 363).
B. The use of Tetracycline to treat Lyme disease.
Conclusion
I. Review: You know what causes and carries Lyme disease. You know what the symptoms are. And you
know how it is treated.
II. Final remarks: So, go out and enjoy yourself on your next camping trip….
