This speech makes up 20% of my grade. So please do it well.
Procedures: You are to prepare a 3:00 to 5:00 minute speech on a topic of your choosing. A detailed preparation outline, audience analysis (CAN BE FOUND IN THE BOOK WHAT THAT IS) and reference list with a minimum of three sources must be submitted.

Step 2: Begin your research trying to answer a specific question about the topic. Keep in mind that you need a minimum of 3 sources for full credit on the speech.

( I WILL MAKE THE POWERPOINT SLIDES )
A note on visual aids: You must include PowerPoint slides with this speech. While giving the speech you must show the slides. Since I will not be able to see the slides up close please send them to me separately so I can look at them while you show them.
