Assignment:
Prepare a 4- 5-minute one-point argumentative speech present. ation on a topic related to the IT profession or of interest to IT Professionals. For example you might argue that an IT student should take a public speaking class.
Choose 3 good reasons for your argument (see examples below) Note that you will lose points if your 3 good reasons and 3 types of supporting materials are the same. The 3 good reasons, are just those, your own reasons for arguing this point
Use 3 types of supporting materials to support your argument and 3 reasons in the speech. Again, the 3 types of supporting materials are not the same as the 3 good reasons for arguing this point. List the specific type of supporting material you plan to use such as "statistic", "personal experience" to identify the material, as well as the actual citation.
Create a 5-slide, Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, with one slide for each of the three types of supporting materials to accompany your presentation, an introduction slide and a conclusion slide. If you quote sources or statistics, please provide a slide with references and refer to the source in your speech. This presentation requires research and skillful handling of the effective use of language and supporting material
