This Assignment Challenges You To Report To Your Classmates

This assignment challenges you to report to your classmates via a writ

This assignment requires you to prepare a written Discussion Board Forum post that outlines the components of both your Informative and Persuasive speeches. Specifically, you will present the anticipated topic, general purpose statement, specific purpose statement, and thesis statement for each speech. Additionally, you must identify and explain three expert sources for your Informative Speech and four expert sources for your Persuasive Speech, including how each source qualifies as an expert. You are also expected to provide constructive feedback to at least three classmates on their reports.

Paper For Above instruction

Begin by detailing the components of your Informative Speech. State the topic clearly, followed by your general purpose statement—which defines the overarching goal of informing your audience. Then, specify your particular purpose statement, clarifying exactly what you intend to inform your audience about. Finally, articulate your thesis statement, summarizing the main idea or argument of your speech. After outlining these elements for the Informative Speech, identify three expert sources you plan to consult. For each source, include the author's name and the title of the work, and justify why each source qualifies as an expert—such as their credentials, experience, or publication relevance.

Next, repeat this process for your Persuasive Speech. Clearly state the topic, general purpose statement (e.g., to persuade), specific purpose statement, and thesis statement. Then, identify four expert sources that will support your position. For each source, provide the name and title, and explain why it qualifies as an authority relevant to your persuasive topic. Remember, citing these sources now does not mean you are committed to using them in your final speech; they are preliminary research aids to guide your preparation.

Throughout your post, follow the outline provided (attached) to ensure clarity and completeness. Your goal is to prepare a comprehensive report that not only plans your speeches but also demonstrates your understanding of selecting credible, expert sources for effective communication.
