Purpose: As we learned, the two researched speeches require you to locate, create an APA citation, and verbally cite your sources in your speech at least 5 times. This assignment is designed to help you develop that skill as well as assess your abilities to support your main ideas (SLO # 3).
There are 4 Tasks to This Assignment:
Task 1: Locate sources – Your first task is to complete significant research to locate at least 2 reliable sources that may provide examples, testimonies, statistics, analogies, definitions, stories/narratives, facts, etc. Recall, this will take some time and that you should not just simply Google your topic or settle for the first thing you find. We discussed several “Helpful Tips” to locate valuable and reliable sources. You have access to the Mission College LibraryLinks to an external site. to use OneSearch, Gale Biography, EBSCOhost, among other databasesLinks to an external site.! If you’re having difficulty finding information for your topic, visit the library (on campus or locally) and ask to speak to the Reference Librarian-they are experts and can point you in the right direction.
Task 2: Evaluate Source – Once you have located your 2 sources, it is time to ensure that what you found is reliable. In class I introduced and gave you a tool to critically evaluate your sources called the DAPPR Test. I would like you to use the DAPPR test to evaluate each of your sources. In your evaluation, you should come to a score between 0 and 15. Please briefly explain how you came to this score.

Task 3: APA Referencing – Now that you know the reliability behind your sources, it is time to create references for these sources using APA format. Recall, I explained useful tools (e.g., Excelsior CollegeLinks to an external site. and APA Style OrganizationLinks to an external site.) to help you create your source references. Please do not use an automatic generator to do this. It may seem like a good idea, but a lot of the times they are inaccurate.
Task 4: Verbal Citations – Finally, now that you have created your accurate APA citation, it is time convert each formal APA citation into TWO different verbal source citations that you could use in your speech. Remember that verbal source citations typically come before the evidence they provide, so imagine that you are getting your audience ready to hear some evidence (a story, a statistic, a quotation, etc.) from the source. Typically, a verbal citation includes any of the following: author name, credentials, title of work, title of publication, date of work/publication/study, and/or qualifying statement (conveys expertise of source). Recall, what you include in your verbal citation will depend on what you think must be included to demonstrate the credibility of the source and what is available from the source.
