Chapter 7 Review

222

“It is not a fact until you prove it to the audience.”

From the story about Katie, Mandeep, and Sherri’s activism against police officers shooting crows on their local courthouse building, it’s clear that providing evidence for the claims in your speech can help make your presentation more convincing and make you more credible as a speaker. To create your research plan, take the following steps: inventory your research needs, find the sources you need, and be sure to keep track of your sources. To evaluate a source’s credibility, consider the author’s expertise, objectivity, and observational capacity, as well as the source’s recency. When conducting library research, vary your focus among books, periodicals, newspapers, reference works, and government documents. Although many students use the Internet for research, there are both advantages and disadvantages to this, and you need to carefully evaluate the credibility of online sources. You also can research your topic by interviewing experts. When you’ve gathered your research, be sure to present evidence in claim-source-support order, cite your sources completely, and use direct quotes or accurate paraphrases every time you use evidence in your speech.

LaunchPad for Speak Up offers videos and encourages self-assessment through adaptive quizzing. Look for the check icon and play icon throughout the chapter for adaptive quizzing and online video activities.

    Go to the Wikipedia entry for a subject you might like to discuss in a speech. Identify claims that are made without any supporting footnote or citation. How can you determine whether the author of these comments is credible? Next, identify claims that are supported by a footnote or citation. What would you need to do to determine whether the sources for these claims are credible?
