Keep on Researching ...

You now have five sources you can use. Some of them may be helpful, but please find other sources to use in your quest for information. I encourage you to interview someone, visit a location, experience your topic first hand, create something, get to really understand what makes your topic useful to you. This process will make a much more compelling speech.

For Tuesday, read Chapter 7 and 8 in your book. These chapters talk about gathering and using research material, so they should offer some useful advice for you in this stage of the speech writing process.

I also want you to watch this video (click here if the video below is not loading). This 19 year old is talking about what she found on her quest to discover information. I enjoyed listening to her make connections and asking unique questions. This is something we should all strive to do in our work.



Remember, we start presenting our speeches on Tuesday, Feb 22.

Have a great weekend.
