- Oral (Verbal/Vocal) Citations: (Two are required) A Verbal Citation is a statement that you speak in order to provide attribution for information you use in your speech—that means you tell your audience where your research is coming from. You attribute your sources in order to add credibility to your presentation and to avoid plagiarism. See the document Tips for Verbal (Vocal/Oral) Citations (found in the Speaking Assignments tab–the Orange Sheet from class). You must create two “very best” quality Verbal Citations for this speech. You are required to write your Oral Citation in YOUR speaking outline so that you are sure you state the citation correctly.
- Internal References:(Two are required)An Internal Reference is brief restatement of a Verbal Citation made by simply stating the name of the article/ book/ website/ interview + the author/association/ organization as you cite a new piece of information from a source you have already verbally cited. Internal references are written in your outline with parentheses ( ) around the source.In other words, once you have used a Verbal Citation, you use an Internal Reference to indicate that you citing new information from the previously stated citation. This means if you state additional information from a source that you have already verbally cited, you simply use an Internal Reference in your outline to indicate the repeated source.
