design a imformative speech outline about any social scientific cause going on which include every aspect of outline.Guidelines
This speech assignment has some additional requirements that were not part of your earlier speeches, including a requirement for a topic with a social science orientation, library research,a full sentence outline, visual presentation elements, and a question and answer session. Here are some guidelines on these requirements:
Topic – In this speech, you will inform your audience about an event or issue and emphasize its social dimensions. In other words, you should choose a topic that focuses on an event or issue that impacts human society and/or social relationships.
Research requirement – One of the goals of this speech is to develop your ability to research significant issues on your topic. You will conduct background library research on your topic, and use this material to in your speech. This supporting material should be specific and serve as evidence for your main points. You are required to use at least three credible articles from scholarly journals.
Generally, a “C-grade” speech uses three to four scholarly sources, a “B-grade” speech uses five to six, and an “A-grade” speech uses seven to eight.
Your research sources should include newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, and government websites (for statistics). You should include at least one source published within the past six months and two published within the past 24 months.
You will be required to submit copies of your research articles, with information used in your speech highlighted and annotated, so that your instructor can view the sources of your evidence.
Outline – For this speech, you will use one of the organizational patterns that you learned about in Chapter 9 of your textbook. This speech assignment requires you to prepare both a full sentence outline and a speaking outline. These outlines should be prepared using the principles presented in Chapter 7 of your book.
To help you develop and format your full sentence outline, you will find a Word template on Blackboard. This template is already formatted for an outline, and contains all of the required elements that should be incorporated into your speech.
You are required to use the American Psychological Association 7th edition style for formatting references in your outline. This is a different style than you may have used previously (for example, you may have learned MLA or Modern Language Association style in an English class), but it is the style that is used by the social sciences.
Your speaking outline may be on note cards or in a Word document, but must follow the guidelines presented in your textbook. Pay particular attention to the tip sheet at the end of the chapter, as this information will help you to format your speaking outline effectively. Be sure to incorporate delivery cues into your outline. If you decide to use note cards for your speech, limit the number of cards to five.
