Ideas for a 5 minute informative speech?

[Technocracy Timmy]

I have to do it tonight at 6:00 pm. I need 4 sources (usually people use quotes) but otherwise it should be easy.

Any interesting stories or ideas I can use? It goes by quick because we can't go over 6 minutes.

[Technocracy Timmy]

The history of Belarus. Use JSTOR.

In 5 minutes?

Which part of their history?

[Technocracy Timmy]

I feel like you probably should have figured this out earlier. Maybe do something political?

I got a perfect score on my last speech preparing it in the same amount of time so I'm not worried about procrastinating in this course

What's a good political topic to inform people on in just 5 minutes?

[Technocracy Timmy]

I still have a 3 and a half hours.

Any other ideas?

What did you end up speaking about?

A general overview of what economics is. The class liked that I was able to explain it without using numbers

Oh, dear, was this for Toastmasters?

No, just a public speaking course. I was thinking about doing toastmasters since I enjoy public speaking but I'm not sure what I'd talk about
