At the end of your outline, you should put a complete Bibliography citing the sources used in the speech using MLA format,
NO encyclopedia WEBSITES!

Go to www.ted.com and view a speech on a topic of which you are interested and answer the following questions;
Was the speaker effective in communicating their message?
How did they get their audience’s attention at the start of the speech?
How did they inform their audience what the speech would be about?
How did the speaker conclude their speech?
Do you plan on incorporating any of the speaker’s techniques in your own speeches?
Cite speech using either MLA or APA style. If you have a hard copy of the Flat World book, then cite using page numbers. If you use a digital copy, then cite using chapter and section numbers.

Current Event/Persuasive Speech
You will give a 5-7 minute speech on any topic that is happening currently.  Your speech topic can deal with issues happening locally, state, national, or international issues. Your topic must be controversial.  One definition of controversy is a dispute, argument, or debate, especially one concerning a matter about which there is strong disagreement and especially one carried on in the public or in the press.  Therefore, I do not want to hear speeches about why drinking and driving is bad or why we should recycle.  These topics are important but not controversial.  The point of the assignment is to persuade the audience to either act in a certain way or believe something that you believe in.  Therefore, you should pick something that you feel passionate about and want to talk about.  You are expected to have at least 5 sources.  To receive credit for this speech, you must turn in a full-sentence outline.
