PART 2. Below, you will identify a minimum of five potential sources per speech. At least three of these sources must be scholarly (which means they come from academic journals through Grantham’s library databases); two additional sources can come from reputable online sources. You must cite these sources in proper APA.
For help with APA citations, you can visit the OWL at Purdue online resource guide or the Grantham University library resources.

PART 3. Copy and paste your APA citations from above; then, write out source citations as you would say them in a speech. Remember, though we use APA citation style for written citations (such as in an outline or a research paper), we must convey that information orally. Please review this week’s materials for suggestions and requirements when citing orally. Then, below, write out (as if you were developing a script) those citations if they were to appear in a speech. Please do not use the exact same format for each oral citation; it is important to vary up your language.
| Informative Speech Sources | APA Citation | Oral Citation (What you would say if citing this source in a speech) |
| Example | Wagner, P. E. (2017). Bulking up (identities): A communication framework for male fitness identity. Communication Quarterly, 65, 580-602. Doi: 10.1080/01463373.2017.1321027 | “According to Wagner in a 2017 article titled “Bulking up identities: A communication framework for male fitness identity,” fitness and masculinity are intricately related to each other” |
