                You have three options in how you can present your final project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                As a Paper<\/strong>

                \noptions, your speech should be creative, interesting, and demonstrate

                    \nbe a statement, not a question, and should begin with your own ideas and
                    \nyour own words.<\/li>\n
                  • After identifying your topic, use quotations or paraphrase
                    \nfrom your sources to help illustrate the point you are making (be sure
                    \nto identify the author(s) and source(s)).<\/li>\n
                  • After you have given support, spend a sentence or two explaining how the example(s) support the section topic.<\/li>\n

                    \nyour methods, (how the data was collected or generated and analyzed),
                    \nand your results should be included in the body of your project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                  • Conclusion:<\/strong><\/li>\n
                  • \n
                    \n
                    • Restate your thesis. This means that you say about the same thing as you did in your thesis, but you say it differently. <\/li>\n
                    • After stating your thesis, restate the topics from each of
                      \nyour body sections and emphasize what is important for your
                      \naudience\/readers to remember.<\/li>\n
                    • End your conclusion with a call to action that illustrates
                      \nwhat your audience\/readers should do with the information you presented.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      Please note:<\/strong> You will have the
                      \nopportunity to revise and perfect this project, but you should do your
                      \nbest to make each step as complete as possible so you can receive more
                      \nrelevant and constructive feedback from your instructor and your peers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
