You are now going to expand our knowledge about a topic of your choosing.

I CHOSE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MEXICAN CANDY AND HOW ITS MADE.

You are simply giving us the facts. You are not selling anything (that’s persuasion.) You explain something, and our understanding grows.

Here is a breakdown of how I will evaluate your speech:

Introduction

1. Starts with an attention-getter or hook right at the beginning. If in doubt, ask an insightful question that relates to your topic. That’s also a hook.
2. Relate topic to audience by saying how relevant it is for them to know something about this topic.
3. Tell us what your speech is about (your purpose). One sentence.
4. Tell us your main points (preview).
5. Tell us why you know something about this topic (credibility). Are you an expert? Have you researched the topic? (I CAN PROVIDE THIS PORTION)

Body

1. You should have 2-4 main points for the body of the speech.

2. Each main point should be supplemented with information that is easy to understand.

Conclusion

1. Give a signal phrase such as “In conclusion…” or “In closing…” or “As I bring this to an end…” and a clear summary of each main point.

Academic Sources

1. You are required to use 3-5 academic sources which include scholarly/peer reviewed articles, books, encyclopedias. You are allowed to use .gov, .edu, or .org sites but only after you met the academic source requirement. PLEASE FOLLOW THIS!!! YOU MUST ADD 3-5 ACADEMIC SOURCES, AND THEN YOU CAN USE other sources. I’d seriously appreciate if you can find one or two sources that have stats in it.

PLEASE HAVE THE SPEECH WRITTEN OUT IN MLA FORMAT, ALONG WITH A WORK CITING SOURCE
