Assignment: Fundamentals of Oral Communication

Informative Speech- Person, Place, Event, or Invention

You will present a speech in which you choose a person, place, event or invention which you believe has had significant impact upon the world. Conduct adequate research to gather information on your topic. Research the background on the person, place, event, or invention, including history and significance, and highlight the impact on the world. Some topics may fit a combination of person, place, event, or invention. Some examples would be, Anne Frank AND WWII, Nikola Tesla AND electricity, Woodstock AND Vietnam War.

Instructions:

I. Include in oral footnotes, a minimum of five sources, preferably from at least three different types of materials (book, magazine, interview, internet, etc.). Note: Wikipedia is NOT a quality source. Please use the library databases.

II. Include at least three kinds of supporting materials: definition, description, statistics, etc.

III. Create a formal outline and works cited sheet for your presentation (use MLA or APA format).

IV. Submit this into the location provided.

V. Include visual aid to enhance the speech. PowerPoint is an option for the visual aid, but it should emphasize visual images, not text. Be sure to cite your source on the PowerPoint slide for the image.

VI. Time Frame: 6-7 minutes

VII. Delivery should be extemporaneous: You may use a key-word outline while you speak. You may write out quotes on your outline so you do not misquote someone. You may also write out your sources of information so you don't forget to cite them. Indicate in your outline where you will show your visual aid. Speaking from a manuscript rather than an outline will result in a lower grade.

VIII. Record your speech in front of 3-4 adults (show them at the start of your recording). You may use a digital camera or the video function on your cell phone.

IX. Upload your speech to YouTube. Once your video has been uploaded, copy the link and paste it into the discussion forum provided. Then, watch other classmate's videos and give honest, insightful, and respectful feedback.
