Speech Review 02: Instructions & Grading Rubric

Read all instructions and grading rubric carefully before writing your Speech Review. You are responsible for having read and understood these documents.

You will make your own speech selection for Speech Review 02. You will submit a 2-full page review of the speech. The paper must be written in strict, current Turabian format, include a title and reference page, and utilize and cite appropriate sources in sufficient quantity to justify your position and/or conclusions. You must also adhere to the standards of academic writing. Submit your chosen speech document or video link to the instructor along with your review.
