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.
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
