Assignment part One: This assignment supports the following objective(s):
• Prepare persuasive, informative, or entertaining written documents and visual presentations
Assignment overview
For this assignment, develop a rough speech outline based upon your chosen field of study.
Deliverables
• A 2-page speech outline draft in Word.
• Include the proper file naming convention: GE205_wk1_assn2_jsmith_mmddyyyy
Assignment details:
Begin developing your speech outline in draft form only. In this outline, brainstorm your ideas as to the
direction you wish to take in your speech. Decide whether this speech will be informative or persuasive
and include this in the outline draft. Also, begin searching for support for your speech using LIRN and the
Internet. This is a “brainstorming” type of search. You do not need to use all of these sources in your final draft of your speech, but share at least 2 of the sources you review this week in your outline draft.
Hints: Follow the sample Outline in your course Resources as a way to begin developing your individual
speech. Also, review the Speech/Presentation Rubric this week to get an idea of what will be critiqued
when you finalize your speech video presentation. Remember that talking about what you know and are
passionate about, makes the speech easier to write, as well as present. Most importantly, your final
speech due in Week 5 will only be shared with your instructor.

Assignment details:
Last week, you began searching for resources to help support your speech topic. While you may have
found many sources that you think would work in your speech last week, this week, you finalize your
choices of source materials and summarize, paraphrase, or quote the materials. The resources you find
this week will be the resources you cite in your final written speech document and in your video
presentation. In your 2-page deliverable this week, summarize, paraphrase, or quote your sources on
page 1 and list the references on page 2 in proper APA Style. Use no less than two sources in your speech that help to emphasize a point, support a statement, or provide further information on your chosen career field.
