Alright, for week 2, if you see the assignments. You will see there is a speech that I need to give for my speech and communication class. See the requirement for the speach below. Also, I would like to have an INFORMATIVE SPEECH about Healthcare and its importance during these pandemic. If you look at Speech informative Outline, I have included a picture of what the outline needs to look. Week 2 Assignment Information This week we begin working on our first speech – Informative Speech. This speech will be video recorded (no audio presentations are accepted) or presented live in instructor-designated Office Hour. Your task is to prepare a 5 minute speech to inform. This information can be about your job, a hobby, important medical news that you might wish to report on, or a famous person, for example. Appropriate topics are endless, however, all topics must be RELEVANT to a general audience! Speeches that demonstrate, explain, or inform the audience about the use of weapons of ANY kind or illegal activities or substances will NOT be accepted! Please check with me if you need clarification. NB: The speech MUST be delivered EXTEMPORANEOUSLY. Speeches that are read or memorized in whole or part will be automatically disqualified. NB: Due to COVID-19, audience requirements have been waived. There are 2 parts to this assignment: A written outline (due this Sunday, but earlier submissions give you the best chance at receiving earlier feedback and having more time for speech adjustments) A video recording/live presentation (due Sunday of this Week, but can be submitted as late as Wednesday of Week 3 without any late penalties – please plan accordingly). Speeches will not be accepted for grade after the grace period. No exceptions.

Please attend or watch the recording of Keiser Live Week 2 BEFORE starting this assignment for a complete understanding of the expectations and requirements of the assignment. In an effort to help you understand this assignment, a template has been offered. Please use it to outline your speech. Remember that visual aids are not required, yet highly encouraged (for extra points). If you have visual aids, you will need to show them when presenting the speech, as well as list them in your outline. If you are using sources, please make sure your references are formatted using APA 7th edition style.

Please check your outlines for academic integrity – if your work shows any similarity issues, you are responsible for fixing these issues PRIOR to final submission.

NASTAS RSIT) Professor Reece Darham INFORMATIVE SPEECH OUTLINE TEMPLATE KEY-SENTENCE OUTLINING: A key-sentence outline is an outline that provides ONLY the most important elements of the speech. It is never a script (word-for-word) of what you are going to say in part or whole. The idea is to only write that which is the most important, so that when practicing the speech there is enough information provided to remind you of what to say, and if using the outline during the speech, enough information to easily glance down at the outline and quickly pick-up the next thing to say. NO MORE THAN ONE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT AND COMPLETE SENTENCE PER ITEM ON THE OUTLINE. INSTRUCTIONS: Please complete the following template, providing no more than ONE SENTENCE per item, by replacing the red writing with one sentence that corresponds to that item unless otherwise noted. TITLE: GENERAL PURPOSE: SPECIFIC PURPOSE: CENTRAL IDEA: Descriptive, catchy, and brief title of topic (sentence not required) To Inform “At the end of my presentation, I want my audience to …” The thesis of the speech INTRODUCTION Attention-Getter: Brief element to draw audience into the topic of the speech. Topic: Establish precise topic of speech Relevancy: Why this topic is of importance to a general audience? Self-Introduction: Introduce yourself Establish Credibility: What is your credibility on the topic and why should the audience listen to you? Preview: Preview the main points: “Say what you are going to say.” Transition Statement: Link the introduction into the first main point. BODY: Typically, you should have three main points. All main points should be independent ideas from one another, be equal in the amount of detail and importance, and should all be related logically to the topic. Main Point 1: Identify the main point topic (complete sentence not required) Sub-point l: Substantive content to support main point Sub-point 2: Substantive content to support main point 1 Transition Statement: Link the first main point smoothly to the second point.

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.
