No random blogs or uncertified websites to be used without prior permission.
Note on wikipedia- you may use the sources cited in the end, not wikipedia itself. READ ALL sources before including in your formats. I will give you a sample of the outline latter
The body
This is a 5-6 minute speech, you will teach your classmates about some process or subject that will be useful and meaningful to them. Significance of the topic and quality of sources will be important in assigning a grade. Presentational aids, outside research and an outline are required. (CLO1, CLO2, CLO3, CLO4)
5 or more sources must be cited out loud during the speech for references credit. Cite the author’s name, year of publication and name of the source itself (e.g., “According to Jill Brown in the Chicago Tribune, 2005…”). You will need a typed outline for this speech.
