The first half of your assignment is to provide a works-cited page that lists all the sources you used in
your essay for Lesson 2. You will also need to
go back over the parenthetical citations in your essay to
make sure that the sources match up with the entries on your works-cited page. The second half of your
assignment is to turn your essay into a speech. a
To prepare your speech, you must boil down your essay into an outline. Your outline can appear on
sheets of paper, note cards, or some other medium. You'll then present your information out loud to your
classmates, using visual aids to help them understand your argument and get them interested. The
visual aids can be the same ones that appeared in your essay, or you can use new ones.
Your speech should include the following elements:
An introduction that grabs the audience's attention
An outline that makes the information from the Lesson 2 essay easy for you to remember when
giving your speech
Visual aids, such as graphs and cards, that make the speech clearer and more engaging
A works-cited page that lists the sources from your essay and follows MLA guidelines
Revised parenthetical citations that match up with your works-cited page
A conclusion that leaves listeners with a lasting thought
