Adding Substance to Your Speech

Adding Substance to Your Speech-

Your assignment here is to complete the main points in the body of your speech outline by incorporating personal perspective and outside research from quality sources. As you learned in the reading (Chapters 7 and 8) and the Resource Assessment Activity, research must be credible (whether you are using academic or non-academic materials) in order for you the speaker to be seen as credible to your audience.

You are urged to locate academic resources first, then turn to non-academic resources if necessary. If you do use non-academic materials to support your ideas, you’ll need to use this document Guidelines for Assessing Internet Research.pdf to evaluate those sources.

Remember, within the body of your speech, you’ll want to balance:

personal story, experience, and examples, along with

facts, figures, statistics, reasoning, and expert testimony (or quotes)

Section 8.2 describes all the types of support listed above. Study this section as you begin to investigate what are the best ways to convince your audience to do what you want them to do or why you want them to change their minds. This is the “heart” of persuasion. Use a variety of ways to “move your audience” or to “prove your point,” but make sure your research materials are “quality” and credible.

Again, we suggest you use the following Ohiolink databases to research:

List of Scholarly Journals: https://egcc.libguides.com/az.php (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) (Academic Search Complete is a useful database for general research. It’s first on the list.)

Use this document Persuasive Outline Form – Blueprint.doc to add your materials to the body of the speech.

Adding Oral Citations-

Remember: when you go to add your research materials into your outline, use oral citations. That means you do not need to concern yourself with using either MLA or APA citations or completing a Works Cited page or Bibliography. Review Chapter 7.3 for the correct way to cite a source inside your speech using oral citations. You will also notice details on Oral Citations here https://egcc.libguides.com/general-writing-help/oral-citationsLinks to an external site.

Assessment: There is no rubric for this week’s assignment. You can receive up to

15 pts. for three main points clearly organized and developed using your own personal perspective and experience in the speech body (that’s 5 pts. per main point)

15 pts. for including a minimum of 3 different (quality) resources (that’s 5 pts. per source)

15 pts. for correctly citing those 3 sources (that’s 5 pts. per correct oral citation)

That’s a grand total of 45 pts. for the body of the speech outline.

———————————————-

Once you’ve completed your work for this week, go ahead and copy and paste the portions of your outline you completed previously, and upload all of it to the Assignment Link.

At this point, you should have completed the following sections of your outline:

Thesis and Preview of Main Points in the Introduction

All 3 main points within the Body of the Speech (including research)

Summary of Main Points in the Conclusion

We’ll fill-in and “fine-tune” the last portions of the Introduction and Conclusion (as well as add in Transitions) during the next unit.
