Citing your sources out loud in the body of the speech, as well
as writing your sources correctly in the body of your outline
will be very important for this speech. Please make sure you
cite your sources in both ways, in addition to your "Works
Cited" (otherwise known as "Bibliography" or "References.")
Some people think all they need to do is have a Works Cited
entry at the end of the speech, but that's not all.
You must say your sources out loud in the body of your verbally
delivered speech, and you must write them as you plan to say
them out loud in your outline. You won't be saying them/writing
them like they are written as works cited entries. For help on
how to write them, watch the tutorial on citing your sources,
look at the example outlines, and click on the attached link:
https://rdc.libguides.com/apa
If you have any questions whatsoever about how to cite out
loud, on your outline, and completing the works cited entries,
please email your instructor after reading this
document/viewing the mentioned videos.

Speech Instructions
NOTE: These are the instructions for the entire speech. For this
week, you are ONLY claiming the country you wish to present
on and locating three research sources, not delivering the
speech.
In 5-6 minutes, you should INFORM the audience about the
culture of a country, other than the USA. You must do
RESEARCH for this speech, utilizing the library's website
provided below and known as the "LibGuide." Find at least
three academic sources (you may have more than 3) using the

7. libguide provided here.
NOTE: The primary function of this speech is to explore what it
would be like to be immersed in another culture, or what you
might need to know to live there. Please do not confuse this
speech with a book report, highlighting mainly historical
information or lists of demographic facts. The majority of your
research should focus on the ways of thinking, being, and life in
this culture.
REMEMBER: A good informative speech creates information
hunger (makes you want to know more!) Don't create a list of
facts. Engage your audience with interesting information!
In your speech, you will cover these areas for the three main
points of your speech
Point 1
About this Country Examples of information that would go in
this point--Geographic location and capital city, Country’s
economic status (major world power, developed country or
developing country), Population demographics (including major
ethnic and racial groups), Political structure (including name of
president or leader), Major languages spoken, Transportation
systems (how do most people travel?), Entry requirements (Visa
or vaccinations required), Currency used and exchange rate for
the US, etc. CURRENT EVENTS would be a great feature for

8. this main body point as well.
Point 2
Cultural Aspects Examples--What is the country famous for in
terms of art, architecture, dances, etc. What are the most
popular places to visit and why? Culinary traditions (any
famous dishes or dining habits to note) or major religions, or
RECENT CULTURAL EVENTS would be great additions to this
main body point.
Point 3
Unique Communication Behaviors Examples: Nonverbal
communication (gestures, body language, eye contact patterns,
use of space), Family structure (extended families living under
one roof, polygyny, etc.), Is this country monochronistic or
polychronistic? Individualistic or collectivistic? Have high or
low power distance? What are their communication preferences:
direct or indirect? (Hint: Review Chapter 3 for this main body
point!)
You may leave some of these items out or add in other
interesting information that you find. Your speech should have
an introduction, be ordered logically and include transitions
between main points, utilize diverse and interesting supporting
material (see p. 366 of your text), have two verbal citations, a
conclusion, a formal outline with two internal references and
MLA formatted works cited entries. Your research sources must

9. come from the libguide provided here. You should deliver the
speech extemporaneously using only speaking notes. You
should not read your speech from your outline to your audience.
See page 355 of your text for advice on creating speaking notes.
NOTE: When recording, make sure you are in a quiet location
with good lighting. You should test your equipment and arrange
your speech space so that your entire body is in the camera's
view (head to toe) and that your facial expressions can be seen
clearly and your voice heard clearly on the recording. You must
show your audience at the beginning and end of the speech,
without turning off your recording device. Please dress for a
formal, college presentation. If your recording does not meet
expectations, you may lose points or be asked to do it again,
possibly for a late grade. See the video on Recording your
Speech and Audience for more help.

10. After your topic is approved, begin writing your outline using
the Informative Speech Outline Template attached here. Review
the information in "Speech Tutorials" for assistance with the
Introduction, Transitions, Body Point formatting, and
Conclusion. Particularly pay attention to the tutorial about
researching your speech and citing your sources! This is a
formal outline, so you should have complete sentences
throughout the outline.
IMPORTANT: You must highlight/underline/bold your written
internal citations in your outline.
Download the linked template document and fill out the spaces
for your outline. You do not have to stick exactly to the
numbers and letters provided. It's just set up so that you don't
have to start an outline from scratch. You are required to use
this and will submit it with your speech! If you are delivering
on campus, you must give your outline to the instructor before
beginning your speech.
Note: You may use note cards or a key word outline, but you
cannot use your formal outline to read from during your speech.
And, remember that you cannot read your speech outline from
your cellphone. No exceptions.
