Support Material

You must have 3 from 3 different

encyclopedia, Wikipedia can not be used. This
must be turned in prior to giving your

grade.
Support Material is published
documentation that you will say word for word in your speech. The support material does not have to be in
quotation marks (quotable quotes) in the
published documentation. Anything you
say from the published documentation word for word is support material thus
facts, statistics, definitions, descriptions, testimony, examples,
compare/contrast, illustrations, and of course quotable quotes are considered
support material
Published Documentation
includes books, magazines, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and internet articles
that are copyrighted.
When giving support material
in a speech you must give credit to the source just as you would in a research
paper. You do this by giving the name of
the book, magazine or encyclopedia. You
can also cite a book by giving its author.
You cite a website by giving the website. Do not state the entire website just the main
part to the backslash. (Example
www.geocities.com)
If the material is from a
website
Anyone can put anything (as long as it is
not slanderous) on a website. If you are
getting support material from a website it must be copyrighted material in
order to count as your support material.
Copyrighted material will be noted with the symbol and a date.
We are looking for support material in
well researched articles. In order to
count as an internet source your internet article must be at least 5 paragraphs
long. A paragraph is SEVERAL sentences
grouped together. Do not go to quotes.com or some other similar search engine
to get information.
