Proposal
The topic I have chosen for my Informative speech is “Interesting facts about Michael Jackson”
because I want to inform my groupmates about facts that I find interesting, and they more likely do
not know about the famous star. It will be interesting to my groupmates because Michael Jackson is
still very famous among people of different ages, and few people know about him more than that he
was the King of Pop music.

Audience analysis
I conducted a small questionnaire, which asked
students two questions and received eleven
responses from them and found out that 63.6%
of the audience does not know anything even
about the childhood of Michael Jackson.
Moreover, according to the data, 81.8% of
people find my topic interesting, while 18.2%
did not. Therefore, will do the following things
in my speech:
1. Inform them about his childhood.
2. Explain to them why Michael Jackson
changed his skin color.
3. Describe theories of his death.
