Example: In our recent survey that we conducted in this class, we found that 90 percent of you all felt that domestic violence is a cruel act. While the other 10 percent of you all were really unsure about your feelings on domestic violence.
The most likely sources of secondary research include books, newspapers, periodicals, government publications, blogs and reference works such as encyclopedias, almanacs, books of quotations, atlases and individual search engines(Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Search)
In your speech, alert the audience to the source of any ideas not your own:
Speech Excerpt Indicating a paraphrase:As reported in the August 8th, 2005, edition of Newsweek, Executive Chef Jorge of the New York City public schools claimed that until recently, virtually every piece of chicken that was served was breaded or glazed; students
drank whole rather than skim milk, and ate white rather than whole-wheat bread.
Example of a direct quote:
“The nation’s emergency rooms have been stretched thin for at least a decade or more.”
(New York Times Editorial Quotation)
