Give a speech that takes a clear stand about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Instead of just giving information about the memorial, your speech must present an argument about a controversy related to the memorial. Is it a proper memorial for veterans? Was the architect qualified to design the memorial? These are just two examples: You decide which controversy to explore. Your speech must include a claim, introduction, body, and conclusion, but the speech doesn't have to be written out word for word like an essay. Instead, you should use an outline to help you keep track of what you are going to say. Make sure your outline gives you enough information that you always know what to say when you're presenting, but not so much information that you get confused or lost.
Finally, remember to respond to at least one counterclaim and to support your own arguments with evidence. You want to make it clear that you've considered many different perspectives.
Your speech should include the following elements:
A claim that takes a clear stand on a controversy related to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
A rebuttal to at least one counterclaim, which you'll include in your speech's body
An introduction that grabs the audience's attention, presents your claim, and previews all the topics you'll cover in the body of the speech
Body paragraphs that present your main points in support of your claim, and evidence that supports your main points
A conclusion that reminds the audience of your most important arguments and leaves a lasting impression
Direct quotes from sources that you find through research

Adapt the speech you delivered in lesson 2 to an audience of professionals, teachers, and parents. the audience expects a more formal delivery. your listeners also expect you to use media such as images and audio to make your speech more convincing and easier to understand. your assignment should include the following elements: -at least four sources to back up your ideas -media elements to illustrate your ideas -changes to both the style and content of the speech to make it more appropriate to the audience -citations that follow mla guidelines as you revise your presentation, research and cite at least four sources. at least two of these sources must provide supporting evidence, such as charts and graphs or quotes from newspapers or other credible sources. the other two sources can provide material to grab the audience's attention — for example, photos that your audience visualize what you're talking about or music that sets the mood. you can also create original images, but these will not count as sources. here are some types of media that you may use to either show evidence or move the audience: quotes tables, charts, and graphs images video audio (including music) mix up the types of media you use so that no medium is used more than twice. take care that all your sources contribute to your speech in an obvious way. they should either back up what you're saying or make your ideas easier for your audience to understand logically or emotionally. avoid visual aids that are off topic or confusing. ask yourself these questions as you revise: am i still fulfilling the requirements of the speech i gave in lesson 2? is my speech still about a theme in franklin roosevelt's four freedoms speech? do i connect that theme to my own life and to a current issue? are my sources credible and relevant? will they convince an audience of parents, teachers, and professionals? do my media elements enhance my speech? do they set the mood, explain something difficult, or offer convincing proof? do i avoid media elements that are more distracting than ? did i cite my sources according to mla guidelines? did i check my works-cited page against sample works-cited pages to make sure it's correct?
