Deception in interpersonal relationships

Think about what you are interested in learning about, what may be handy for the audience to learn more about, and what you want for the audience.
Apply the concept, model, term or technique to something like a career, a specific situation, a general guideline, or just explain it thoroughly.
The speech should be between 4-6 minutes. Aim for five. Work on the parts of your speech in increments (main point 1, introduction, main point 2) separately, so that you know how you are doing on time.
You will need to submit a full-sentence outline. The full sentence outline is EVERYTHING you intend to say, how you intend to say it. It may take as much time to write as a term paper, so give yourself the time.
You will need to find at least three sources (one of which must be an academic journal article), use at least one visual aid (it can be a powerpoint, a short video of less than 20-seconds, a picture, etc.) You can use more than one visual aid, of course, but make sure you can effectively use them. You can have more sources if you like.
You will need to say at least three sources thoroughly out loud. If you dont know the author (or organization responsible for the publication), the date, or how the author is credbile, then you shouldnt use the source.
See the 50 pt. Speech Evaluation sheet for more. The 100 pt. Evaluation sheet is similar and will be used to grade the second presentation of the same speech.

English 110 Project 2: Problems in Public Affairs
3rd person, 3-4 pages, 3 sources minimum, MLA Documentation
For the second project in English 110, think about the different ways that the Public Affairs theme affects a few particular issues you care about. The theme is a broad idea that helps us to focus differently on common and uncommon issues. Different themes give us a different angle for our examination of a particular topic, like different camera angles for an instant replay in a sporting event.
This second project is an exploratory writing. An exploratory writing is a neutral, objective overview of a topic. Different than an argumentative essay, an exploratory essay simply provides information from different angles without taking a particular side. Using your research, you should be able to build a fairly comprehensive desrption of the various opinions surrounding a topic. This assignment lets you explore two potential topics for Project 4, the longer researched argument.
For Project 2, you should identify two issues that you might be interested to work on this semester. For each issue, you should
Find at least one scholarly article for each topic. (You should have three in total.)
Identify the issue and its context. (This can involve giving history, defining terms, and providing any other useful information for understanding the issue.) I would recommend a paragraph of context.
Identify the various arguments involved in the issue. This is like identifying the different instant replay camera angles. What are all the positions or concerns (not just for or against)? Give equal time to all sides, and do not take a side. Use research to back up the different positions. I would recommend at least one paragraph per argument.
Discuss how the Public Affairs theme of self-governance affects the issue and why this issue is relevant today. This should be a brief paragraph.
Document your sources in an MLA Works Cited page. Cite in text as needed. On the Works Cited page, for each source, include the following information (like an Annotated Bibliography):
o Who is the author?
o Why is the author credible? (as opposed to biased)
o Where was the article published?
o Is the publication credible? Or is it a biased source (e.g. MSN, Slate, FoxNews)
This is still not a traditional essay, so you dont need to write an introduction to the whole project of two issues, nor do you have to transition between the issues; however, within each of the two sections it should be clear what it is that youre discussing.
