\u00a0\u00a0Below I copy and pasted my directions and then the actual homework assignment for my public speaking class,<\/p>\n

Directions<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Think about a speech that you would like to present on a topic of your choice. You can use the same speech topic that you selected in Unit 1 or choose a new one.<\/li>\n
  2. The speech can be for any context and any length. See the list of example speech occasions and purposes for inspiration.<\/li>\n
  3. Download and answer each question in the the Unit 2 Touchstone Template based on the speech you are thinking of: Touchstone_2_Template.doc<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Consider your audience, purpose, and thesis and complete Part 1 of the template.<\/li>\n
  5. Utilize your program resources, the internet or a local library to find three credible sources that are relevant to your speech and complete Part 2 of the template.<\/li>\n
  6. Read through your sources to identify five pieces of evidence that support your thesis and complete Part 3 of the template. Be sure to use at least three different types of sources (example, statistic, analogy, definition, visual, story, testimony).<\/li>\n
  7. Review the rubric to ensure that you understand how you will be evaluated. Ask a Sophia learning coach if you have any questions.<\/li>\n
  8. Review the checklist and requirements to ensure that your Touchstone is complete.<\/li>\n
  9. Submit your completed Unit 2 Touchstone Template on Sophia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    NOTE: Units 3 and 4 both require a persuasive speech topic. If you select a persuasive topic in this unit, you will have the opportunity to build and improve on the same speech in the next two units.<\/em><\/p>\n
