Speech151 Introduction to Speech

This guide will help you locate, evaluate, and cite credible sources for your three speeches: Demonstration, Informative, and Persuasive.

Demonstration Speech

Information NeedFind sources to support what you're demonstrating in your speech.

The internet is the best search tool for your Demonstration speech. If you want to demonstrate how to throw a football, consider YouTube videos from football pros or articles from NFL.com. 

  • Instead of specific keywords, phrase your search as a question. For example, "how do you throw a football?"
  • Cross search Google images, news, or videos.
  • What does an expert look like for what you're demonstrating? Consider "everyday experts" like a high school football coach who makes social media videos for his players.
