25 Jul Nikola Tesla Discussion
This week you have a rough draft for your informative speech due. It should look like the sample attached. Please feel free to use the sample as a template. Take out that material and put in yours. DO NOT write this out like an essay or a manuscript.
Please note that it will be run through a plagiarism tool. Make sure that you are using your own words and effectively quoting outside information.
Make sure you include the following:
- Your topic
- Your specific speech purpose
- Your organizational format
- Your introduction completely written out with the parts labeled correctly.
- At least two main points with supporting material. Make sure they are written in complete sentences and are parallel in structure. Your final draft may have more main points, but you need at least two for this draft.
- Have at least two sub points for each main point.
- Your conclusion completely written out and labeled.
- Your transitions between main points completely written out.
- At least two sources cited correctly in MLA or APA format. Wikipedia does not count as a credible source. Remember that your final speech will require at least THREE qualified sources. If you need help with sources or citations try these links.

Your outline is expected to conform to the principles of outlining that are found in chapter 13.2 of your textbook. Make sure this is not written as an essay or manuscript. See the sample outline attached here. DO NOT JUST ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS 1-12.
The further along your draft is the more feedback you will have to help you as you continue to develop your presentation.
