You will all participate in a Communications Conference in the Week 8 discussion forum. Everyone will be presenting on a communications topic and be audience members for the presentations provided by others. Look ahead to the instructions for the Week 8 presentation!
This week, you will begin the research and planning for that presentation! Before Thursday midnight, answer the following questions:
Who is the audience and what is the purpose of your Week 8 presentation? What do you want to communicate to your audience and why?
What are THREE questions about your topic that the audience needs answered to accomplish your purpose?
What are TWO professional sources you will use for your presentation to help answer the audience questions? After evaluating the sources, what makes them appropriate for the professional purpose and audience of your presentation? How will you cite these sources in APA style on the references slide of your presentation?
What is ONE quotation or paraphrase of an opinion or statistic that you will use from your research? How will you cite the quotation or paraphrase in APA style on one of the slides of your presentation?
Before Sunday midnight, respond to at least two others. What additional question(s) do you think the audience might have about the topic? Do you agree that the sources are professional? Are there any other professional sources you would recommend? Are there any changes needed to format the citations in correct APA style?
