Today, you received an invitation from the president of the school board asking you to deliver an informative speech at Everytown High School. Because students at Everytown High School are currently studying Global Warming, the president of the school board would like for you to address this topic as well.
Review the sources listed below and choose the one you would use in your informative speech. Explain why the source is a good choice.
- Option A: A book entitled The Guide to Global Warming (published in 2015)
- Option B: A pre-recorded interview with an employee at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center
- Option C: A documentary film explaining Global Warming
Answer preview
interesting. I would not only use this source to derive information, but I would also present it in front of my audience using a projector so that they would relate with my speech. Documentaries are useful visual aids for learning since what students see is what they remember (Beebe, et al., 2009). One thing I understand about students is that they get bored quickly if their learning only involves reading and writing. However, my source would capture their attention and help more engaged with the speech. Still, using the documentary would be useful because I would select a short film that fits the duration given to speak to the students. On another note, the documentary would also help me to remember some notes from my previous research, and it would also keep me from going off the topic.
