You are also strongly encouraged to use the speech tutors to practice your speech prior to your classroom presentation. If you do not take advantage of this opportunity your speech grade will be lowered by five points. Your delivery should be in an extemporaneous style. That is, your speech should be practiced but not memorized and it certainly should not be read. You likely have a style guide from a previous course, such as English 1.
Style guides are also available at the bookstore.
These requirements extend to Internet resources. Karla Tonella of the University of Iowa has also composed a page that provides links on a number of the leading citation styles. We will more specifically discuss the requirements and parameters for each speech in class. You will also be given an evaluation form for each speech which will help further clarify the criteria that will be used for grading. This is a value-oriented speech which makes the actual topic an almost secondary consideration.
