A 4-6 minute informative speech (not a demonstration) which must include the following:
Two (2) documented sources (books, magazines, newspaper articles, WWW pages, etc.) These two sources can not be all of the same kind, but rather a variety of sources. These MUST be listed under the Supporting Materials section of your outline. Be sure to list your documented sources in MLA style (follow the handout I gave you). Remember to cite your source within your speech too. ("According to Dr. Kris Kringle of the St. Nicholas Medical Center, being jolly during the holidays is good for you!")
You must also have a visual aid. This MUST be listed under the
Supporting Materials section of your outline.
You MUST also have an attention getting device and a preview in your introduction plus a summary and concluding device in your conclusion. These also must be indicated on your outline.
This outline must be a full sentence, full content outline. (There are example outlines available for you to look at in the Writing Center and on the class web site.) Be sure to include EVERYTHING YOU PLAN TO SAY in your speech in your outline. Your outlines should be very detailed. It must be TYPED and you must also include copies of the titles pages of all of your sources.
Remember that you may also use six 4" x 6" notecards for your speaking outline. Your speaking outline should only contain your main ideas and any quotes or statistics you plan to use.
If these elements are not on your outline, you will lose points on your
speech grade.
