Task 8

Welcome to the task! You are quickly approaching the end of the term!

This week we will focus on inspiration and passion within an informative or persuasive speech.

Research a few more important speeches. Listen to and research the impact these speeches had on the nation or public they were addressed to. How did these speeches change people? How can you change people through your own speaking?

Choose a topic that is meaningful to you and that you believe will be meaningful or helpful to someone else. As you think about that topic, plan to prepare a 5-7 minute presentation on that topic.

Create a file folder for this week titled with your name and Task 8.

Place the following items in the file folder:

  • PowerPoint presentation that you will use in this week’s lesson (please leave the PowerPoint blank at this time)
  • All images that you will use in your PowerPoint.
  • An APA formatted outline that contains

– the introduction to your presentation
– information relevant to your topic, including research to support it
– the conclusion to your presentation

Now, zip the file and upload it to Moodle for use in the Lesson portion of this week’s module.
