THE SPEECH SHOULD HAVE AN ATTENTION GETTING DEVICE AS WELL AS AN EFFECTIVE CONCLUSION.

THE SPEECH SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO 5 MAIN POINTS

1) INTRODUCTION 2) RESEARCH ORIGINS 3) CURRENT APPLICATIONS 4) FUTURE APPLICATIONS 5) CONCLUSION

THE SPEECH MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 5 SOURCES (NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES, ONLY 1 INTERNET SOURCES) THE SOURCES SHOULD BE IN PARENTHESIS IN THE OUTLINE YOU TURN IN.

If an article is published in the New York Times online, it is also published in the hard copy. Just site it like a regular published source (According to the New York Times January 10, 2021).

No one, including me, will know the difference if you cite the source properly.

What you don’t want to do is say according to thenewyorktimes.com.

Honestly, I don’t want students to site more than one website. So no more than one url source. If a published magazine is also online it’s fine, just site it like a hard copy publication. The date listed with the article is the date it was published in hard copy.

I just don’t want students siting 10 random website that, for all we know, could be giving completely false information. I could buy a domain name right now and say anything I want about anything. There’s just no way to verify the legitimacy of random websites. The Harvard Medical Journal is also a hard cover publication that is also published online.

STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO USE A VISUAL AIDE.

EACH STUDENT MUST TURN IN A 2 PAGE SPEECH OUTLINE THROUGH THE ASSIGNMENT IN CANVAS. STUDENTS SHOULD PROVIDE AS MUCH DETAIL IN THE OUTLINE AS POSSIBLE. STUDENTS MUST USE COMPLETE SENTENCES ETC.
