Why is public speaking important?

• Speaking in public is often cited as the number one fear of people. The Book of Lists places the fear of death in fifth place while public speaking ranks first. Jerry Seinfeld said, "That would mean at a funeral, people are five times more likely to want to be in the casket than giving the eulogy."

But why is it important?• Recall moments in your life and/or moments from movies/TV

where a person had to speak publicly. Think of at least five different circumstances that demand public speaking.

The Entire Process- In a Nutshell

Find information (research in library) Organize information (double entry notes) Organize it more (outline)

Researching in the Media Center or Lab

Tomorrow, you’ll have the entire period to

look up information on the topic of your

choice. Today, we’ll go through the many steps

it takes to get quality information.

Reliable Sources- You might be thinking to yourself:

why do research in the media center when I have the internet???

- Good question.- Well, some sources aren’t reliable.- Reliable source: any source that

comes from a reputable source (journal, database, book, etc.).

- What’s not a reliable source?- Any random website- Wikipedia.com- Anything from Google.com,

Yahoo.com- notice the .com

Where can I get information?- Source #1- Library books- Look up your topic on the

library catalog.- Ask a librarian! They are

bundles of knowledge!

- Source #2- Research databases

- On the media center webpage, go to “Research Databases.”

- You have to log-in using your username and ID#

- Then, you can use any of the databases there!

What steps do I need to take to get the right information?

- Step #1- Do some basic research on your topic

- Look up your topic on the internet (this is okay ONLY this time) to find out basic information on the topic.

- Step #2- Find reliable sources on your topic

- Look up your topic on the library or research databases.

- Read articles or books about your topic.- Step #3- Write down important

information- This is where you decide on what to do.- What do you find to be important?

The above are the best databases.

What steps do I need to take to get the right information?

- Step #3- Write down important information- ***Read the source first! The WHOLE thing! You must know if it’s a

good source.- Once you know it’s a good source, write down the source name on

the sheet Mr. Klein gives you.

- Step #4- Pick the topics you want to cover- Write those down on the sheet and fill in the information needed

along with the source it came from.

What are the two best sources for research?

Wednesday, October 30th 2013-Double Entry Notes

Homework: - Independent reading projects due Friday.- Double entry notes due Monday.

Step 1: Create an informal outline• Purpose: this will guide you in what information to

choose from your sources.• Note: make sure your main topics can be broken into

subtopics!

I. Topic 1:- Possible subtopics:II. Topic 2: - Possible subtopics:III. Topic 3:- Possible subtopics:

Step 2: Double Entry Notes• Purpose: to select particular quotes from your sources which can be

used in your speech/outline.• Note: your informal outline will guide you in what to choose.• It doesn’t matter how many quotes you get from each source…

“The findings, reported in the Journal of Neuroscience, Psychology,

and Economics, don't reflect short-term fogginess after a time

change, as the test is offered seven times a year” (Pavlus 10).

This would help to dispel any doubts about the

previous point and could be used to acknowledge

and disprove the opposing argument to the above

point.

Let’s break this down in to parts…

Part 1: THE CITATIONCreate the Citation- gives credit to the source. Like “credits” in a movie.-Check out the “ MLA Works Cited Format” handout.

“The findings, reported in the Journal of Neuroscience,

Psychology, and Economics, don't reflect short-term fogginess

after a time change, as the test is offered seven times a year”

(Pavlus 10).

This would help to dispel any doubts about the

previous point and could be used to

acknowledge and disprove the opposing

argument to the above point.

Here are a few tricks for citing sources (because it can get complicated)

1) Go to Fremd’s Media Center Citation Guide.

- This has every single possibility for citations.

2) Go to Fremd’s Media Center Citation Guide and copy the citation type you need.

- Paste into word doc.- Substitute your information.

OR

3) Use the citation on the database.

Here are a few tricks for citing sources (because it can get complicated)

4. Find the actual citation on the database

a. Copy and paste it onto your sheet.

Same as above…you may have to scroll down to find the MLA citation. It must be the MLA citation!

Why do this right on the Double-Entry notes?

If you do this right NOW (when you complete your double entry notes), your life will be about 100 times easier when you create your Works Cited page. We’ll

talk about that in a second.

Note: Make sure you put the citation for the source ABOVE only the boxes its

quotes are in.

It should look like this…

Let’s break this down into steps…

Part 2: INTERNAL CITATIONa.Read the source. Find a quote and provide the Internal Citation- relates back to works cited (has all of the citations).b.On the right hand side, explain how the quote will help you.c.For example: This quote will support my second main idea of the history of the topic.d.Typically, you use the last name of the author, but there are special instances. Ask Mr. Klein when that happens.e.OR, look on the Media Center citation guide. The internal citations are to the right.f.Another great place to look for citations and internal citations- OWL at Purdue

“The findings, reported in the Journal of Neuroscience,

previous point and could be used to

acknowledge and disprove the opposing

argument to the above point.

Punctuating Titles- Notes• Titles are typically punctuated with either italics or quotes

• BIG items are punctuated with italics

• SMALL items are punctuated with quotes

• General rule: If it can be broken into smaller pieces, then italicize it.If it is a part of a larger work (or can be), put quotes around it.

Pizza Pie Think of punctuating titles like a pizza pie.

BIG items are the entire pie.

SMALL items are like the pieces of pie or the smaller items that make up the whole thing.

There ARE exceptions:1. Artwork- BIG- italics2. Speech- SMALL- quotes

Grade the “bad” example- Using the rubric included in your packet, go through the

outline and grade it.- Look through it section by section!- You should be able to justify your points for each part of

the rubric.Here are the groups:1- Jason, Michael, and Kelly2- Hayley, Mariah, and Jared3- Kelsey, Brad, and Connor M.4- Issy, Tina, and Katie5- Jovany, Sheridan, and Joey6- Kayla, Billy, and Adam7- Connor S., Alex L., and Karis8- Ethan, Sean, and Sophia9- Amanda, Paul, and Alex K.10- Tom, Wendy, and Brittany

Outlines• Essentially, this IS your speech!• Heading• MUST be full sentences. Just like

a paper.• Times New Roman• 12 pt.• SINGLE SPACED• Format- Roman numerals,

capital letters, numbers, and lower-case letters. (See the example.)

• MUST BE TYPED!• Must include a works cited page!

I. Transition with first main point (Complete sentence)

A. Sub point supporting 1st main point.

1. “evidence” (internal citation 33).

a. Explain quote

B. Second subpoint supporting 1st main point

1. “evidence” (internal citation 33).

a. Explain quoteNote:

Why make an outline when you could just write a paper?

-An outline is broken into parts.

-Compartmentalize the information.

Look at the “good” example. Go through your notes like a checklist and see how the

outline should be formatted.

Taking your double entry notes and creating an outlineYou should do this tomorrow before you start typing.

1- Create a “skeleton” outline with your main ideas and sub-points. This is similar to your informal outline, but could be different now that you’ve looked into your resources.

2- Identify where all of your quotes will fit into your outline. Number those quotes. You’ll see why you do this in the next step.

3- Put those numbers in your skeleton outline.

Outlines- Introductions• Attention Getter:• Ask a question (Have you ever

wondered…?)• Give a quote (According to…”• Give a stat (The U.S. Consensus

states…)• Tell a story (Once, there was this…)• Provide a bold statement (Rats are a

great pet.)• Significance to the audience:• Why is this topic important to your

audience?• Thesis• For all of you: To inform the audience

about the park.

Preview:-This is where you clearly state your three main ideas.-A speech is unlike a paper, you MUST be very clear about your main ideas because your audience needs to remember them!

Outlines- Main Ideas• Topic Sentence with transition:• Clearly state the idea!• Provide a transition fitting the order of

the main idea.• Example: Moving on from the history

of sharks, we can now discuss their main features.

Transitions for 1st topic:- To begin with- First of all- The first idea…

Transitions for the remaining ideas:- Furthermore- Continuing on…- Additionally

Outlines- Main Ideas• Sub Point of Main Idea:

• Must be in SUPPORT of main idea.• MAIN IDEA- Amazing nature• SUB POINT- Hot springs

Present a quote:• According to…• In a recent article…• USA today saysNOTE: You need to tell us the source anytime

you use an exact quote and the first time you present a source. But, after that, you don’t need to present the source unless it’s an exact quote.

Cite the quote:- (Last name page #)- No comma!- “Blahblahblah” (Klein 45).

Explain quote:- Why is it important?- What does it show about the topic?

A few things about quotes and using sources…• You should use at least 1 quote per subtopic.• Anything that is NOT common knowledge must be cited

(dates, stats, facts, etc.).• You do NOT have to provide a direct quote every single time. • You CAN paraphrase a quote so that you aren’t constantly

saying, “According to…” and “In a recent article…”

• If you have questions about this, ask Mr. Klein!

Outlines- Conclusion

Reverse of your introduction. Do NOT repeat, rephrase!

Make sure to end with something that will cause your audience to remember the information you’ve just presented!

Works Cited Page• Everyone look at the example!• The LAST page of your outline.• Contains all of the sources you used in your outline.• All sources should be put in alphabetical order by first entry.• Provide a hanging indent• Make sure to double check the punctuation for the citations.• Basically, take the citations you made for the Double-Entry

notes and put them on here.

Grade the “bad” example• If you were a member of Mr. Davison’s team, what would you

do to his outline to help his cause?

• Into which areas could he focus his enthusiasm to better the speech?

• What changes would you make to his outline? Order of ideas? Why?

the rubric.Here are the groups:1- Andy, Lauren, and Dylan2- Bryana, Addison, and Anna3- Jenna, Nicole, and Robert4- Oly, Cesar, and Soojin5- Troy, Mike, and Eric6- Annie, Alyssa, and Matt7- Shayan, Tom, and Becca8- Nick, Sueun, Deven, and DeAndre

Grade the “bad” example• If you were a member of Mr. Davison’s team, what would you

do to his outline to help his cause?

• Into which areas could he focus his enthusiasm to better the speech?

• What changes would you make to his outline? Order of ideas? Why?

November 18th, 2012- Outlines to note cards- Visual Aids- Work on what you need

to work on!

Homework:- Get outlines done if you

haven’t!- Work on notecards- Work on visual aids

What is Mr. Klein doing wrong while using his

visual aid?

Tips for Presenting Visual Aids• Practice. Integrate into your speech.

• Make sure everything works!

• Don’t stand in front of it!

• Stand to the side!

• Point to the visual aide when referring to it.

• Do not distribute materials during your speech. If you have prepared handouts, distribute before or after you speak.

• Do not overload your visual aid with information. Avoid having all text.

• Your visual aid should cover only main points and sub-topics. YOU fill in the rest.

Good or Bad?History •This is the Chicago Bears’ 93rd season in the NFL.•They were founded in Decatur, Illinois in 1919, but moved to Chicago in 1921.•They are one of the original founding teams of the NFL.
