Create an elevator speech

For this assignment, you will create a podcast which is a 2-minute , about the focus of your research. First, please consider your professors feedback from your Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 assignments. Next, revise your Problem Statement to reflect that feedback and your own conclusions from reflecting on your work.

Using your revised Problem Statement, please draft a 2-minute elevator speech. Based on typical speaking speed, that will be between 250-300 words. You do not need to submit a formal written version of your speech, but you will likely benefit from writing it out to prepare for your podcast recording. Be sure your speech answers the following questions:

• What is the topic of your research?
• What is the problem, issue, or question that you are asking and addressing in your research?
• Why is that problem interesting and important? (i.e., So what?)
• How does your work connect with a broader disciplinary conversation about this topic/problem in your field, and what does it add to that conversation

Please upload your recording to the assignment dropbox.

Expectations

Length: This assignment must be 2 minutes

References: The speech should be based on your Problem Statement (minimum 10 scholarly sources), but there is no need to cite or include references in this informal assignment.
