Works Cited Checklist (READ! READ! READ!)

Your Works Cited page, due with your speech, should meet all of the following criteria:

- Four or more reputable sources  (book, journal, periodical, interview, e.g.; these can be accessed
   electronically)
- 12 point Times New Roman font
- Double spaced throughout entire document (Do not press the "Enter" key more than once on the
   page.)
- Title: "Works Cited" (center on page)
- One inch margins
- The first line of each entry should start at the left margin. If an entry is longer than one line, which
    many will be, the second and subsequent lines should begin 1/2 inch to the right of the left margin
    (or one "Tab" over).
- Entries should be listed in alphabetical order (based on the first letter of each entry).
- Your Works Cited should be on its own page, not at the end of your outline. You will hand it in with
   your outline.
- See the "Sample Works Cited Page" post from 10/7/14 to view an example Works Cited.

VISUAL AID TIPS

•Prepare

     –Make sure your visual aid does not look sloppy or rushed.

•Relevance

     –Make sure your visual aid enhances the speech and doesn't distract from it.

•Practice

     –Make sure you know when to use your visual aids in your speech.

•Simplicity/ Clarity

     –Make your visual aids simple, clear, and to-the-point.

•Size

     –Make sure your visual aids are large enough for the audience to see.

•Font/Type

     –Select a font that’s easy to read. (Don’t get fancy; it’s distracting.)

      –Use as few words as possible; you don’t want your audience reading a paragraph!
