You will write a Manuscript Presentation which is a speech about an a tribute. (I already have the person who I want you to write about (Mohammed Ali, the boxer)) Manuscript Presentation 2-4 minutes Speech of tribute — someone of notoriety and admiration (athlete, actor, humanitarian, politician, etc.) Graded for: Speech writing — creativity Organization Content Appropriate Clarity General vocal ability (don’t speak too softly; articulate, etc.) Some eye contact with audience (you read but should look up at us on occasion)* Directions Sign-ups will take place to discern speaking order. You will type out a speech of tribute using the organization discussed in class. ALL parts of the speech must be evident (you will learn the rest during the next talk). You must follow all directions; most of your grade depends on your ability to use effective organization and detail. You can have the speech in a size where you can read it (type it) You will print and read your speech word for word Sources are not required for this presentation. Most of what you’ll find includes ‘common knowledge’ details. However, if you take anything from a published source, you will need to cite it. Tell us who said, where it came from, and then give us the information. Example: ‘According to Rotheram and Phinney in their article ‘Children’s Ethnic Socialization,’ ethnic identity is defined as ‘one’s sense of belonging to an ethnic group and the part of one’s thinking, perceptions, feelings, and behavior due to group membership.” Your main points MUST BE: Origin story/rise to success; major accomplishments; humanitarianism or legacy This presentation is not a summary of the topic’s life You don’t need to appear formal but no hats These presentations will feel somewhat repetitious in format because we’re learning basic organization at the same time. Presentations will be more unique later. Topic Selection Details Topics need to be people of notoriety and positive influence whom are worthy of a speech of tribute. Topics need to be people who are or were alive and are more current/contemporary so as not to turn the presentation into a general, informative one. Remember at NO POINT in the presentation will you talk about your personal feelings about the topic. I’m only have you choose people whom you admire because it’s easier for you to talk about them. The Most Important thing is that you follow the requirements and focus on the organization of the presentation ( Outline, requirements, and an example of the introduction organization are attached) Speech of Tribute (Manuscript Presentation) Intro Example Attention-Getter: When we think of who might embody the idea of success, there are probably a number of people who come to mind. Being a celebrated actor, musician, humanitarian, and family-figure however causes one to stand perhaps a little further apart from the rest. Purpose Statement: Today, I am here to inform you (general purpose) about the laudable attributes* of Will Smith (focused topic) so you will know more about his influence in a variety of contexts (specific purpose). Thesis Statement: Will Smith has had a significant career in music, TV and film but has also found the time to give back to others in need making him worthy of tribute. Preview of Main Points: During this presentation, I will talk about how Will Smith grew into the success he is today, his professional accomplishments, and lastly, his humanitarianism. Transition to Body: Let’s begin with how Will Smith rose to the influential person we know him to be.

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.
