Reply OO Carla Bucherati 2 days ago RE: Q2 messages There are several ways to organize a message or speech. Topical, Chronological, Spatial, Problem-solution and Causal Organization. Topical organization moves from one category to the next. It show how things are related in a way that is clear. Chronological organization shows things in past, present and future. It is related to time order. Spatial orgaizaion is related by geographics. Problem-solution organization offers a solutions to a problem after it establishes the problem. For example I dont have a degree so I can take classes. Causal organization moves from cause to effect for example use of drugs to drug addition. Reply Quote Email Author moo Charlie Mount 2 days ago RE: Q2 messages When presenting a speech, I think the most important thing is keeping the audiences attention. To do so, you must keep them entertained, while keeping the story/speech in tact. One major factor of doing so is keeping everything in order (chronological order). Keeping everything in chronological order is important because it will ensure that the audience doesn’t get lost in what the speaker is presenting. For example, if the speaker is going back in forth in time, people may get easily confused. A Hide 4 replies (1 unread) 1 month ago Qin Zhang Q3 modes of delivery o What are the 4 modes of delivery? What are the pros and cons for each? Reply OOL Carla Bucherati 2 days ago RE: Q3 modes of delivery There are four modes of delivery to a speech impromptu, manuscript, memorized, and extempraneous. Impromptu is just delievring a speech with no preparation. It includes all the technical elements of a good speech however not well thought out. I don’t feel this is the best technic because you could forget something or seemed disorganized. The pros of this are that you appear confident and speak what you are thinging. The second is manuscript. This can feel overly prepared and non genuine. This takes a very long time for prepperation and reduces eye contact because you are looking at the speech. People may not feel as engaged with this method however since you are reading you wont forget anything. Memorized delivery allows full eye contact which is very good. whats bad is if you forget something you are in trouble. It also looses the genuiness of the material. Extempraneous delivery combines preparation with a off the cuff and preperation. I think this is the best way for delivery as you prepare with an outline and use tigger words to remember what you are saying while sharing information that you know.

Reply OOL Charlie Mount 2 days ago RE: Q1 a speech If I had to present a speech and analyze my audience, the first thing I would consider is the amount of people in the audience. The first main factor is keeping in mind where you are speaking. For example, if a person is politically campaigning as a republican but they are in a democratic state, they must keep in mind their audience. They need to be careful not to be too conservative but at the same time they can’t make it seem like they are lying to the audience just to get some votes. The next major factor that a speaker must keep in mind is diversity. As I will stick with the example of a political campaigner, they must keep in mind who they are talking to. First, they must consider if the people are lower, middle, or upper class. What religion do these people practice, etc. this will impact everything that the speaker will say. Depending on what side the crowd leans, the speaker would most likely be more considerate of what the crowd believes in.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics
Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.
BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES
In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.
General Guidelines
- The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
- Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:
Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).
Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).
Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).
Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:
Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR
For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.
Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).
Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).
These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:
Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
