Read/review the following resources for this activity: Minimum of 8 scholarly resources (These are from the Week 4 Annotated Bibliography. Conduct additional research as needed.)
You will work on a research project for the duration of this course that you will deliver as a presentation. Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course: Week Task Week 3 Topic Selection Week 5 Annotated Bibliography Week 6 Script ( this what you need to do for this ass) Week 8 Presentation
The next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number.
Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips: Address all requirements for the content. Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording. Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge).
Note: When you get to the recording phase - you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide. Looking Ahead Practice reading their script now so that you will be ready to record by Week 8. You may use PowerPoint or another method (mp4 file) approved by your instructor.
Writing Requirements (APA format) Length: minimum of 3 pages (not including title page or references page) 1-inch margins Double spaced 12-point Times New Roman font Title page References page (minimum of 8 scholarly sources)

Title: Developing an Effective Research Presentation Script
Introduction: Crafting a compelling research presentation requires meticulous planning and organization. In this paper, we will explore the essential steps to develop an effective script for a PowerPoint presentation, including resource selection, content organization, and citation integration, aligned with APA standards.
Choosing Resources and Conducting Research
The foundation of any credible presentation is the use of scholarly sources. As outlined in the assignment, a minimum of eight scholarly resources is required, drawn from the Week 4 Annotated Bibliography, with the possibility of additional research. Academic databases such as JSTOR, PubMed, and Google Scholar are invaluable for sourcing peer-reviewed articles that lend authority to the presentation. Prioritizing recent publications, ideally within the last five years, ensures the relevance and currency of information.
Structuring the Presentation and Developing the Script
Effective presentation structure entails creating 5-8 content slides, excluding the title, conclusion, and references slides. Each slide should deliver focused information, balanced to prevent information overload. If necessary, complex topics should be broken into multiple slides to enhance clarity. The script should mirror the slide content, providing thorough narration that emphasizes key points and integrates citations naturally. Including slide numbers as headings in the script facilitates synchronization during recording.
Citation Integration and Recording
Integrating citations within the script is crucial for academic integrity. Paraphrased ideas and direct quotes should be accompanied by APA-formatted in-text citations. When recording narration, speakers should read out these citations aloud, ensuring the verbal presentation aligns with the written references. The references slide, however, does not need to be read aloud, but all sources must be listed in APA format at the end of the presentation.
Writing and Formatting Requirements
The script should span a minimum of three pages, formatted in APA style with 1-inch margins, double spacing, and 12-point Times New Roman font. This document serves as the detailed guide for narration, so clarity, coherence, and adherence to curriculum standards are essential. Proper referencing and citation not only support the credibility of the presentation but also exemplify academic integrity.
Conclusion
Developing an effective script for a research presentation involves thorough resource gathering, careful structuring, and precise citation. By planning ahead and practicing reading the script, students can ensure a polished and professional final product suitable for recording and peer assessment.
