...FUNDAMENTALS OF SPEECH Informative Speech Goal: Upon approval of your topic plan, you will present an informative speech with an identifiable introduction, body, and conclusion at least FIVE oral citations, research, and a presentation aid. Time: 4-5 minutes Topic: Your topic should be something that you are passionate and knowledgeable about (though you will incorporate research, so you do not need to be an expert) and that your audience will find new, interesting, and relevant. Structure: Introduction: The introduction should compel the audience to listen through the use of an attention-getter and provide a preview. The preview usually includes the thesis statement and an overview of the main points. Body: Most informative speeches should contain no more than three main points, organized in a way that helps the audience make sense of the message. Once the main points and organizational pattern are set, identify what evidence supports which main point and place these subpoints in the correct location. Conclusion: All informative speeches should include a brief summary of the main points. No new information should be given to the audience in the conclusion. An effective conclusion leaves the audience thinking about the speaker’s message. Order of Arrangement: Chronological, Spatial, or Topical Outline: A typed, full-sentence, detailed outline is mandatory and should include the following sections: title, statement of specific purpose, thesis statement...

...identifies, analyzes, interprets, and draws conclusions from the facts and opinions of other people. A term paper requires a student to obtain information from a variety of sources (i.e., special subject indexes, encyclopedias and dictionaries, reference books, scholarly journals, books, and newspapers) and then place it in logically developed ideas. There are nine steps in writing a term paper, which will be illustrated with brief examples. Step 1: Select a Subject Step 2: Narrow the Subject into a Topic Step 3: State the Objective Step 4: Make a Preliminary Bibliography Step 5: Prepare a tentative Working Outline Step 6: Take Notes Step 7: Prepare a Final Outline Step 8: Write a Draft Step 10: Prepare Final Copy STEP 1: SELECT A SUBJECT To select a subject for a term paper, ask yourself the following questions: • • • • • Am I interested in the subject? Is the subject appropriate for my class? Is the subject too broad? too limited? Is the subject manageable in terms of length and deadline for completing the paper? Is the subject likely to be covered adequately in books, journals, or newspapers? your answers should be YES to most of these questions. Try to choose a subject you are interested in and will enjoy researching. In some courses, your instructor may give you a choice from a list of suggested topics. If you do not have a choice and the subject has been assigned by an instructor, be sure you fully understand the assignment. If you don’t...

...Sample APA Annotated Bibliography With Instructions APA means American Psychological Association and often refers to the style of documentation adopted by that professional group, a style that features the date of publication more prominently than other forms of documentation. See the Hodges’ Harbrace Handbook (pp. 652-679***) and the PowerPoint presentation on APA under the Research Writing Resources in the Web Resources section of the ENC 1135 on-line syllabus for details. Since annotated means enhanced or clarified with notes, an annotated bibliography is a list of sources presented with comments on content and usefulness to the research under way. The list must be presented in alphabetical order by the author’s last name or the first word of the title (for a resource that shows no author), regardless of form of the source; that is book, journal, Internet page, and CD-ROM—with author(s) or without Sources—all appear together on one list. Do not number the entries on the References list. The forms for the electronic resources appear accurately and carefully on the Learning Resources pages of the IRCC site, or you may pick up the printed “Documenting Electronic Resources APA STYLE” at the Ft. Pierce campus library and at the sites. Carefully note that the title of an APA bibliography is “References.” All items on the sample list below are pure fiction, as are all comments; they are offered to provide example of proper form. A 750-1000 word APA must...

...Annotated bibliography: It is a list of citations to books, articles and documents. In this each citation is precede by the brief descriptive and valuable paragraph. The main aim of the annotation is provide the reader the relevancy and quality sources cited. Bibliography not includes the list of sources only but also the summary, evaluation and the value of the explanation. These also are the three components that are often used in the bibliography. • The summary includes the information which tells that what data the source will be provides. • The evaluation tells that how or why the notation is useful source. • Explanation of the value tells the relevancy of the citations. Examples1: Text Spec Statement of purpose The main purpose of my topic is to understand the exact meaning of the words without irritate the persons. If you are laughing loudly so it is actually that you are laughing. This would be the stupid and pointless. There are many problems in text speak. The other disadvantage is that many people having the different acronym for different words i.e. some people take out the meaning of lol as laugh out a lot or some take out the learning on low. This situation will give the headache to user Audience There are number of people that use the short form of the words. And there are different peoples of different views. There are two kinds of audiences in my research. One is the children that make their own words. Another is the adults who also make their own...

...SPCH 1315 Informative Speech: Formal Outline and Works Cited Bibliography PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT Perhaps the best way to assure proper completion of any speech is to carefully prepare a formal outline. Outlines allow you to test the relevance and scope of your information. Outlines allow you to check the balance of your points. Learning more about your topic than you already know will not only add to your confidence when you deliver the speech, it also adds to your credibility as a speaker. Therefore you are to use a minimum of three research sources to develop this speech. The formal outline and documentation of research count as 5% of your course grade. WHAT IS A FORMAL OUTLINE? A formal outline is discussed and modeled on pages 147-148 of your text. There are five standard outline format principles that need to be followed to create it (discussed on pages 143-145). This is what you are required to make and turn-in for this assignment. Please do not confuse the formal outline with a working outline (pages 146-147) or speaking outline (148-149). BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE OUTLINE Your outline must have four sections: o Your name and a speech purpose statement o Introduction o Demonstrate how the five key functions of the speech introduction will be fulfilled o Body o Using the five standard outline principles that are explained on pages 143-145 your text, state all of the points and specific information that you will...

...predominately used in the social sciences while MLA is predominately used in the liberal arts and humanities. The guidelines provide overall formatting for content, style and references. While they have many similarities, there are also many differences. Despite their differences, the APA and MLA citation systems have the same overall function in a research paper—sources are acknowledged via in-text citations, each of which corresponds to an entry in an alphabetical list of works at the end of the paper, referred to as “Works Cited” in MLA Style and “References” in APA Style. However, the MLA Handbook also mentions some variations, such as a “Works Consulted” list, which contains sources not cited within the body of the paper, and an annotated bibliography, which includes a brief description or evaluation of each source. APA Style does not use these alternate methods The differences between the two styles become even more apparent when one is creating text citations. MLA Style includes the author’s last name and the page number, whether citing a direct quotation or not. However, APA Style text citations also include the publication date, because the timeliness of research is important in science writing, and the...

...General guide to referencing 2014 edition From the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Learning and Quality) Many students find learning the unfamiliar nature of academic writing a challenging experience. The puzzling art of referencing is no exception, with its traditions and initially obscure formatting rules, referencing can seem to be an overwhelming and annoying requirement standing between you and submitting your assignment by the due date. This guide has been written especially for you, new and returning Federation University Australia (FedUni) students, to demystify referencing and provide numerous practical examples of when and how referencing should be used in your writing at FedUni. As you study, you’ll come to understand that referencing is just a set of rules that you need to follow to adequately acknowledge the work and thinking of others in your assignments. These rules are important because they allow your teachers to decide whether you’ve demonstrated that you understand the topic at hand and show that you have completed the assignment yourself. If you ignore the requirements to reference source materials in your assignment, your teacher may decide you have committed ‘plagiarism’. This means you have failed to reference according to the rules and in doing so, not demonstrated that you have used the work of others in your work. Plagiarism is a very serious matter that can result in unpleasant consequences for your studies and career. So please take the time to understand...

...Assignment 3 Name: Mikaela Carender Assignment 3 is a structured assignment. You must complete the questions in order. This is a short capstone assignment that will take us briefly through the research process. Let’s pretend that we’re all taking an ENGL 1001 class this semester and that we are required to write a paper on a current event, issue, or controversy. As part of our research for the paper, we are required to complete an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Our instructor has informed us that we need to use 6 total sources for our annotated bibliography: * 3 must be scholarly journal articles * 3 can be a mix of popular articles, reference sources, internet sources, images, statistical sources, etc. * The information must be current, and must not have publication dates or cover dates before the year 2000 * You must cite articles in the APA style. We know that the first thing we should do as researchers is look up the topic in a reference source to gain a bit of knowledge about the topic, become familiar with the vocabulary used to write about and discuss the topic, and to start noting the cited references included in entries that will lead us to...
