View this Thread in Original format

Hey What's up guys?


Im doing my 2nd speech on Monday on pros and cons in The War In Iraq. The speech is suppose to be 6 minutes long and it consists of a Intro, Body and Conclusion. I'am suppose to have 2 issues and 12 sources that are relevent to the issues. This what I've got so far on my outline:

I: Intro
A. Attention Getter: Could be a Quote, a rithorical/open question, a statistic
B: Specific Purpose: To Inform
C: Proposition: I haven't came up with a good proposition yet

II:Body
A:Issue #1: Did America have the right to assume that Iraq had weapons of mass destructions, as well as have connections with Al-Qaeda?

B:Here I have to list 6 sources that show the pros and cons of this issue. So, 3 Affirmitive to the issue(#1) and 3 Opponents.

C:Issue #2:Should we pull out the troops in Iraq?

D:Same thing as above; 6 sources that show pro and cons to the issues

II:Conclusion
A: restate the body subpoints
B: close up by mentioning the attention getter or by answering its question



So yeh basically the only problem im having is finding a proper proposition, it can't be in a form of a question it can only be in a straight forward statement. And if any of you have good articles or websites that show good pro/cons, please share. I really want to do good on this speech it's worth 15% of my grade!

I don't want to be mean, but you have to find your own sources.

I suggest you search peer-reviewed journals, and newsgroups. Also, you school should have a library, use that. Mine (uni. of phoenix) has an online library with hundreds of thousands of journals, peer-reviews, etc. I'm sure yours has some kind of research aide too.

I do have plenty of sources. It's just that I want really dramatical sources, I need my speech to be on top, and there is nothing wrong with asking people for help. it's the american way :tongue2
