Our next project is to develop and deliver a persuasive oral presentation using your recent research for support (see the annotated bibliography and thesis assignments). Research is meant to probe questions that interest us, carefully study the ideas and records from those who have written before us, and add to the world's knowledge pool. Think of it as detective work, work which draws definite conclusions and makes a persuasive assertion about a question based on an already existing debate.
With conflicting sides of the argument and each article as evidence, develop your own well-reasoned persuasive speech in support of your own view to present as a five-minute oral presentation stating your topic, argument, and supporting evidence.
In addition to clear and appropriate language use, the presentation must include the following:
- Effective organization
- Effective and detailed support from the readings and your own reasoning and interpretation
Due Dates and Special Instructions (document templates shared with you in Drive):
- Outline 2/27
- Visual Aid 3/5
- MLA format (the last slide should be Works Cited)
