Must Have Done In 7 Hours No Latepick One From The List Attachme

Must have done in 7 hours...... no late pick one from the list attachment and after selecting one from the list attachment do the following: By now you have chosen your topic. It is time to find resources that we can use to gather information on our W's(who what when why). We will use this information to help us decide what our 3 main points we will want to share with the audience about the chosen festival. From there, we will continue to use these resources to fill in those main points of our speeches in a later assignment. INSTRUCTIONS Please find 3 resources that you could use to write your speech.

Remember that you can use a book, newspaper article, magazine article or journal article to find your materials. To promote scholarly research, websites (including Wikipedia, .edu's, .gov's and .org's) are not allowed. This does not mean that you are not able to use the internet to conduct your research. Often times, students confuse and interchange the words internet and website; but they are entirely separate concepts. What this means, is that the internet is the medium you use to access the books, newspapers, magazines or journal articles; the internet, however, is not your source.

The book et al is your source. Let's look at a metaphor to further drive the point home. Metaphor Comparison A website is like a...."building", if you will off the roads of the internet. Just like our college library is a building or in this metaphor, a "website" that has books, et al inside of it , but the library is not the source--the books, et al still are. The 405 highway, or to complete the metaphor--the "internet" is just the road that gets me to the "website" to get my source (book, et al.) If there are no books, et al in the "library", i.e., website, I cannot use that as my source.

APA REFERENCE PAGE You will use American Psychological Association(APA) documentation style to format your References page. There are many websites and sources available on the internet that provide guidance on how to write it, as well as offer fields to enter the information of your source and have them populate the format for you. Feel free to use though tools available to you. This is NOT the same as MLA. IMPORTANT: This is NOT your FINAL list of sources; it may change as you begin writing your presentation.

SUBMISSION Provide 3 main points (subpoints are not needed for this assignment) that you can use to share information about your selected festival (Tip: Do your research first; then think Journalistic W's) Provide your 3 sources (magazine, newspaper, journal articles, or books), in an APA References EXAMPLE FORMULA for the ASSIGNMENT A.

Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires selecting a festival from a provided list, researching three credible resources—such as books, newspaper articles, magazine articles, or journal articles—using scholarly sources only, and then developing three main points to inform an audience about the festival. The purpose is to gather factual information to support effective communication of the festival's key aspects by focusing on the journalistic W's: who, what, when, where, and why.

Initially, students must choose one festival from the list. Once a topic is selected, the next step involves sourcing three resources that provide factual, scholarly, and reliable information about the festival. Students are cautioned to exclude websites like Wikipedia, .edu, .gov, and .org pages as primary sources, emphasizing instead the use of books, newspapers, magazines, and peer-reviewed journal articles. The distinction between the internet as a medium and individual sources is underscored: the internet facilitates access to these sources but is not a source itself.

The assignment emphasizes proper APA formatting for the references. Tools and guides are available to assist students in citing their sources accurately, and the final list of sources may evolve as the research progresses. The three main points should be clear, focused, and relevant to the festival, aiding in creating a structured speech that communicates essential information confidently. The main points should be succinct, avoiding subpoints for this particular task.

To submit, students must present the three main points and cite three appropriate sources in APA style. For example:

  • Main Point 1: Historical background of the festival
  • Main Point 2: Key events or attractions during the festival
  • Main Point 3: Cultural significance and community impact

Following this structure ensures a coherent foundation for subsequent speech development, grounded in credible research and proper academic citation.
