Speech requirements:

•     Max of 3 minutes, minimum of 1 1/2 minutes
•     Visual aid (video, poster, pamphlets, etc) If Higgins needs to project something for you, you     MUST put the link on this spreadsheet before class. NO powerpoints.

Internal citations

EVERYTIME you use information from another source, you MUST cite it. 

If you paraphrase (put into your own words), it still must be cited. 
If you use a direct quote, must be in " " and still must be cited. 

To cite, follow these steps.

Step 1

Look at the MLA citation. Use what is listed first. List the last name of the author. If the author is an organization, list the name of the organization. If the name of the article is first, put the name of the article in " ". 

Step 2

List the page number you are referencing, if possible. This will only apply to articles that also appear in print. 

Step 3

Enclose your citation in parentheses. For example: (Smith 11). If no author name is given, you may use the title of the web page in quotation marks. For example: ("10 Ways to Fish" 11). If the web page or article is not paginated, omit this information from your citation. It is not necessary to give a paragraph number.

Step 4

Position your citation directly after the quoted or paraphrased passage. For example: One website suggests that the best way to catch a trout is to "tug the line every six to eight seconds" ("10 Ways to Fish" 11).

Rough draft due Monday at the beginning--TWO copies already printed when you come to class.

Good/Bad examples: The Crisis

The question was: Analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the structure of the speech, including whether the structure makes points clear, convincing and engaging.

I gave this a 2/15:
"It is very effective because of the use of a lot of loaded language which is very persuasive."

"Yes, it is very convincing. He uses strong words, and makes his arguments clear."

I gave this a 8/15:
"The structure of the speech is clear and easy to follow because it flows from one point to the next. This also makes the speech convincing because its points are clear and strong."

"In his speech he makes things clear with the vivid vocabulary, he made it convincing with the logical standpoint he had, and made it engaging with the emotional factor telling everyone enough is enough."

I gave these a 12/15:
"Thomas Paine used some metaphors that made his meaning clear, which was effective. He convinced people by his words about victory and defeat. That even made me want to fight, centuries later. His vivid words with strong connotations, along with various metaphors, were very effective because they left lingering visuals"

"The effectiveness of the structure is good because he uses rhetorical questions, emotional, logical and authoritative appeals, and he also uses parallelism throughout the story which made the passage clear to understand."
