Info Research/Topic Analysis Assignment For both your informative and persuasive speech, type out two topics each that you think you might be interested in speaking about. Write a list of three questions or phrases for each topic you might use to do an internet and database search to research that topic. Then copy and paste three weblinks that catch your eye from those searches. You must also answer these questions regarding your topics: 1. What was the general and specific purposes of your speech?

2. How did you decide the topic for your speech? 3. How does this topic benefit the audience and society in general? 4.

What alternative points of view did you find in your research and what made you accept the point of view that you presented in your speech. Please remember to check the off-limits speech topic list before you choose a topic. Also remember, you cannot submit your informative or persuasive outlines until you get full credit for each of these assignments. See the sample that’s on eCampus under the assignment link. B.

Informative Outline Upload your informative outline, works cited, here in PDF or Microsoft Word format. Before you do, make sure: 1. You've gone over the outline infographic and samples; 2. You have a proper introduction and conclusion (Topic/thesis, review of main points, clincher) 3. Your sources are IN your outline and Works Cited at the end; C.

Informative speech visual aid For both your informative and persuasive speech, you must submit a Powerpoint presentation for your visual aids. It should contain at least the following: 1. An opening slide; a. An attention getting slide which contains either a picture or whatever the first sentence of your speech is b. A note to yourself describing what’s on the first slide and why it’s there.

For example, “First slide contains a picture of a stack of money because my speech is about the national deficit.†2. A middle slide; a. A bullet point for each of the main points you have b. A photograph or graphic that you got from one of the school’s database c. A note to yourself describing what’s on the 2nd slide.

For example, “My second slide contains the main points of the body of my speech and a political cartoon about the national deficit.†2. A conclusion slide: a. Your closing sentence (clincher) and the words “The End.†This is the last slide you’ll show the audience. b. A note to yourself describing what’s on the 2nd slide. For example, “My second slide contains the main points of the body of my speech and a political cartoon about the national deficit.†4.

A work cited section in MLA format that includes all sources and graphics or photographs. You will not show this slide to the audience. You must have at least one source from one of the school databases. D. Informative Speech Self Assessment One of the best ways to learn public speaking, other than actually doing it, is to analyze what factors contributed to the strengths and weaknesses of your speech.

For this assessment, you will watch the video of your informative speech and assess your speech by writing a five-paragraph essay, typed and double-spaced in which you will identify your strengths and weaknesses and make recommendations for improvement. Incorporate the following elements into your essay: A header (MLA style) is required. (example… Singer Michael Jackson: Youth, Career and Death) 1. Introduction: Identify the general and specific purposes of your speech and summarize your topic with a thesis. (example… The purpose of my speech is to inform my audience about the late pop singer Michael Jackson. I covered his youth, his career with the Jackson 5 and as a solo artist, and his death in 2009.) 2.

Body: How did you open with impact? (example is a statistic) 1. What did you say to connect your topic with your audience? (example is asking a question and letting audience answer it) 2. Was your thesis stated clearly? (Yes or no and explain why yes or why no) 3. Did you present the main points in a clear, concise manner? (Yes, I did or No, I forgot to state them) 4. Were transitions used between main points? (Yes, I did one-word, phrase, sentence or question and answer transitions; or no, I forgot and the instructor gave me a zero for this part) 5.

Did you provide ample support for main points? (Yes, here is where you list the sources used and recorded in NoodleTools) 6. Did you restate your main points in the conclusion? (Yes or no) 7. How did you close with impact? (I provided another statistic or surprising fact) 3. Body: Using the rubric, identify your strengths. These are 5’s circled on your informative speech critique sheet.

If you have no 5’s, 4’s are strengths. If you have both, mention only the 5’s. 4. Body: Using the rubric, identify your weaknesses. These are any and all 0’s, 1’s and 2’s on your critique sheet.

If your lowest point is a 3, that would be a weakness. 5. Conclusion: State how effective you believe your speech was and how you will address weaknesses. 1. (example… I believe my speech effectively explored the life of Michael Jackson. I earned a grade of 88.

The instructor must have agreed it was effective. I could have done a better job on my posture, on my opener and my closer and will work on those weaknesses.) 2 IMG-5485.jpg IMG-5486.jpg IMG-5487.jpg IMG-5488.jpg IMG-5489.jpg IMG-5490.jpg IMG-5491.jpg IMG-5492.jpg IMG-5493.jpg IMG-5494.jpg IMG-5495.jpg IMG-5566.jpg IMG-5567.jpg IMG-5568.jpg IMG-5569.jpg IMG-5570.jpg IMG-5571.jpg IMG-5572.jpg IMG-5573.jpg IMG-5574.jpg IMG-5575.jpg IMG-5536.jpg IMG-5537.jpg IMG-5538.jpg IMG-5539.jpg IMG-5540.jpg IMG-5541.jpg IMG-5542.jpg IMG-5543.jpg IMG-5544.jpg IMG-5545.jpg IMG-5556.jpg IMG-5557.jpg IMG-5558.jpg IMG-5559.jpg IMG-5560.jpg IMG-5561.jpg IMG-5562.jpg IMG-5563.jpg IMG-5564.jpg IMG-5565.jpg IMG-5516.jpg IMG-5517.jpg IMG-5518.jpg IMG-5519.jpg IMG-5520.jpg IMG-5521.jpg IMG-5522.jpg IMG-5523.jpg IMG-5524.jpg IMG-5525.jpg IMG-5546.jpg IMG-5547.jpg IMG-5548.jpg IMG-5549.jpg IMG-5550.jpg IMG-5551.jpg IMG-5552.jpg IMG-5553.jpg IMG-5554.jpg IMG-5555.jpg IMG-5506.jpg IMG-5507.jpg IMG-5508.jpg IMG-5509.jpg IMG-5510.jpg IMG-5511.jpg IMG-5512.jpg IMG-5513.jpg IMG-5514.jpg IMG-5515.jpg IMG--WA0010.jpg IMG--WA0008.jpg IMG--WA0012.jpg IMG--WA0011.jpg IMG--WA0013.jpg IMG--WA0012.jpg IMG--WA0009.jpg

Understanding Wonder Woman: An Informative Perspective

Introduction

If I were to mention names such as Blue Beetle or Animal Man, many of you might not recognize them. However, when I say Wonder Woman, most will immediately picture a powerful female superhero who has been an icon in popular culture for nearly 75 years. This informative speech will provide a comprehensive overview of Wonder Woman, focusing on three key areas: William Moulton Marston, her origin story, and her evolution in comic books.

I. William Moulton Marston

A. His Family
William Moulton Marston, born in 1893, hailed from a family that valued education and empowerment. His mother, a suffragist, profoundly influenced his ideals regarding women's rights and the importance of female empowerment (Northrup, 2014).
B. The Lie Detector
Marston was a pioneering psychologist known for inventing the polygraph, or lie detector, which reflected his interests in human psychology and interpersonal dynamics. The lie detector's principles demonstrated that emotions often dictate human interactions, aligning with his vision for Wonder Woman as an emblem of strength and compassion (Northrup, 2014).
C. Why She Was Created
Wonder Woman was introduced to the world in 1941 during a time when women's roles in society were strictly defined. The character was a direct response to the burgeoning feminist movement and was intended to symbolize female empowerment and independence. Marston's aim was not only to create an entertaining comic book character but to inspire young women to embrace their strength, intellect, and contributions to society (Kistler, 2013).

II. Her Origin Story

A. Paradise Island
Wonder Woman, known as Diana, is depicted as a princess of the Amazons and grows up on the idyllic Paradise Island. The setting plays a vital role in her character development, as it lays the foundation for her values of love, justice, and equality—a stark contrast to the patriarchal world outside. Paradise Island symbolizes a matriarchal society where women reign supreme and serve as guardians of peace (Leslie, 2017).
B. Steve Trevor
Steve Trevor, a World War II pilot, lands on Paradise Island, leading to the introduction of Diana to the wider world. Their relationship symbolizes the integration of male and female energies and reflects the balance of characteristics often deemed 'masculine' and 'feminine' (Kistler, 2013). Wonder Woman's decision to leave her home and fight alongside Trevor marks her transition from a sheltered existence to a warrior determined to champion peace.
C. Bullets and Bracelets
One of Wonder Woman's most iconic traits is her magical bracelets, which can deflect bullets. This symbolically represents her ability to withstand the struggles faced by women, both in her fictional universe and in real-world societies. Her weapons, like the Lasso of Truth, further reinforce her ideals of honesty, justice, and empowerment (Wonder Woman, n.d.).

III. Wonder Woman in the Comics

A. Amazons Attack
Over the years, Wonder Woman’s character has been subjected to various changes and challenges. In the “Amazons Attack” storyline, the Amazons retaliate against humanity, prompting readers to grapple with themes of vengeance and peace. The story reflects ongoing societal debates about violence and justice, especially regarding gender dynamics (Dixon, 2013).
B. Infinite Crisis
The "Infinite Crisis" event serves as a defining moment in Wonder Woman's evolution, as she grapples with the consequences of her actions. This storyline explores the moral dilemmas superheroes face and highlights the complexities of right versus wrong, showing that even heroes are flawed and must contend with their choices (Kistler, 2013).
C. New 52 Wonder Woman
In 2011, DC Comics relaunched Wonder Woman within its "New 52" initiative, introducing a grittier interpretation of her story. This version reinstated her as a daughter of Zeus, providing a connection to the gods while exploring themes of identity, legacy, and the burdens of heritage. This revitalization reflects contemporary audiences' preferences for deeper character development and narrative complexity (Leslie, 2017).

Conclusion

Today, I have shared with you the legacy of Wonder Woman through Marston’s profound vision, her compelling origin story, and her transformative role in comic book history. Wonder Woman represents more than just a superhero; she embodies the strength, compassion, and resilience women around the world aspire to. As we reflect on her evolution, one can only hope that creators and audiences alike continue to take her journey seriously—perhaps someday our beloved Amazonian warrior will trade her traditional attire for something more contemporary, breaking all barriers in becoming a true symbol of modern femininity.
