1.Write down three informative speech topics you are interested in:

1.

2.

3.

2. Explore the Library databases (ONLINE) in order to find research for each of your potential informative topics. Begin with EBSCOhost Database (later you may utilize other databases. I like to start with Ebscohost because it covers a variety of topics and usually has full text articles).

*You must use EBSCOhost for this assignment—later you may get sources from other places as long as they are credible and scholarly.

How to access EBSCOhost Database:

1. Go to the Hayden Library Link: http://libguides.citruscollege.edu/library (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

4. Click “Continue”

5. Type your topic of interest

-if you get too many articles, narrow search terms

3. Find a research article that relates to each of your topics. Read the article and provide a brief (paragraph) summary of the article and the article citation information (below)
