Assignment Guidelines: For your informative speech presentation, you will conduct formal research on a topic that is related to social movements and the Latinx community. The general purpose of this research-based informative presentation is to increase your listener’s knowledge and deepen their understanding of a specific event, issue, concept or phenomena. You must present new information in a clear, organized and analytical fashion (PGPS, Ch.22). For this presentation, you will create a 5-6 minute video presentation, and upload the video onto Sharestream. You may choose to incorporate a visual aid or presentation software by using a video editing program. After deciding on a topic, you will develop a focused research question that will direct the path of your research (PSM, Ch.25). As you conduct research, you will search for a total of 5 sources of information. First, you will use library resources to search for 3 academic articles that are directly relevant to your research question. Then you will search for 2 non-academic sources (i.e. interviews, documentaries, web sites, blogs or other authoritative texts found in mainstream or popular media). Keep in mind that the quality of your outline and presentation largely depend on the quality of your research. Plan on devoting at least 4 hours to the research process in order to investigate and critically evaluate potential sources (PGPS, Ch 9). After deciding on your final 5 sources, thoroughly review each source and determine the specific information that will be incorporated in your presentation. Any quote, fact, statistic, image and/or idea that is taken from a source and included in your speech presentation must be cited orally (PGPS, Ch.10). Using notecards is highly recommended. Finally, in addition to your video presentation, you will create an Annotated Bibliography (see below).
Research Question and Preliminary Bibliography, due Wednesday 3/25
Informative Speech Outline (5 pts), due Wednesday 4/8
Annotated Bibliography (10pts), due Wednesday 4/8
Informative Speech Presentation (15 pts), due on Tuesday 4/14 or Tuesday 4/21
Annotated Bibliography
In addition to providing the basis for your informative speech presentation, research project will culminate in an Annotated Bibliography. Your Annotated Bibliography must include 5 sources- 3 of which must academic articles or scholarly texts. Use MLA style 8th edition to format your Annotated Bibliography. For each source, include one paragraph of summary and one paragraph of evaluation/relevance.
Student Sample (Research Question: Are media representations of immigrant populations in European countries similar to those in the U.S.?)
Fargues, Philippe. “Arab Migration to Europe: Trends and Policies.” International Migration
Review V38. N4 (2006): 1348–1371. Print.
In “Arab Migration to Europe: Trends and Policies,” Philippe Fargues explores the issues surrounding immigration between the two political and economic regions of Europe and the Middle East. Fargues explains the details of the Barcelona Process, a deal made by the Mediterranean European countries and the North African and Middle Eastern countries which border the sea. The countries within the European Union have progressively raised the strictness of their immigration policies while remaining within the boundaries of the Barcelona process. The article uses several graphs and data tables to show the current population of Arab immigrants within Europe (as of 2003) and the progressive movement of the Arab population throughout the rest of Europe, including countries not within the European Union. Studies done with several Middle Eastern countries show that a large portion of young Arabs are willing to emigrate. For example, in Egypt over twenty five percent of people 18-25 are intending to migrate to a European country. Fargues also includes several examples showing how immigrants strengthen European economies.
Overall, this article demonstrates the contradiction in stricter European immigration policies and the actual increase of Arab migration to European countries. Fargues serves as the Director of the Migration Policy Centre in Florence, Italy. He is definitely an appropriate figure for speaking on Arab migration and has done many talks and interviews throughout Europe. His essay is fairly objective and doesn’t show much sign of bias using a large amount of statistics and graphs to prove his points about an anticipated increase in immigration, which in fact did take place after his study was published. As only a single chapter from a larger book that was published later, this article is very specific and looks mainly at Arab youth and their motivation to migrate to European countries and how these migrants are needed to bolster the European economy. This article helped me determine the actual demand for immigrant workers in a more modern setting. This information contrasted sharply to the reaction of the public in Europe where a large majority of people believe that immigrants are actually stealing jobs. In the end, this article helped me to understand how harmful misrepresentations of the impact of immigrations on national economies are, in fact, a global phenomenon.
