I need a controversial speech presentation and the topic is ‘Are Covid 19 vaccines safe?’ And my side in the presentation will be that all the vaccines are safe. Speech 3 Instructions/Checklist – Deliberation Persuasion Speech In this project, you will be working to explore a public problem and possible solutions to it. You should choose a problem that is controversial, relevant, and/or challenging, and at least partially, if not fully, solvable. Deliberation, as we will conceive of it for this project, is less about finding the ‘right’ answer and more about learning multiple perspectives about an issue and becoming informed decision-makers. Given that this is a persuasive project, you will choose one side of an argument that you believe is the ‘right’ side, but you still need to present both sides (and tell us why your side is right). Your speech should be structured in a problem-cause-solution format. Begin by identifying the problem and its causes. Then identify a possible solution to the problem, and advocate for it. Step 1. Select your topic – Select a relevant problem that you think should be fixed or solved. Step 2. Determine your purpose – You have a few options here; to convince your audience to think a certain way, or to persuade them to do something using a call to action. – Examples of this would be ‘the drinking age should be lowered to 18’ (thinking) versus ‘sign this petition to get the drinking age lowered in North Dakota to 18′ (call to action) Step 3. Gather supporting material – This is where you will do your research and gather your sources. This speech needs at least 3 sources. (The more the better — you want to be a credible deliberator here.) – You need to validate both the problem and the solution you propose. For example, you will need to cite why the drinking age being 21 isn’t appropriate. Then, find sources to support your argument of lowering it to 18 (examples of other countries who have done it, etc.). If you are unable to find sources for both parts, change your topic or solution, it’s not a strong enough argument. Step 4. Write your outline (Intro, Body, Conclusion) — See outline structure below Step 5. Think about your time limit. – The time limit for this speech is 4-6 minutes. Include important information where necessary. Step 6. Prepare visual aid A visual aid of some kind is required — I suggest a Power Point. Use it effectively to display visual information to persuade your audience (graphs, photos, charts, etc.) Step 7. Present your speech You should be dressed appropriately on your speech day. This is part of your overall grade. You may use notecards, but each group member should be extemporaneous in your speaking. Reading from your notecard excessively will not make your argument seem very strong. Record your speech and upload to YouTube as unlisted. Post the link to Blackboard and send the link to your peer evaluation partner.

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.
