Research Paper

Below are the instructions for the paper.

The research paper is a project in which you will articulate your knowledge of communication in relation to a specific topic that you will decide upon from among choices offered below.

Topics to choose from:

1) The implications of new definitions/forms of communication in contemporary life.

2) An extinct, or nearly extinct, form of communication.

3) Intercultural issues in communication.

Assignment: Write a 4- 5 page paper, double-spaced and formatted according to the APA conventions. The paper must include a References page with at least four entries; two of the entries can be interviews, and at least one must be a non-cyber source. The paper will refer to each of the sources in the text. The References page is one of the 4 -5 pages.

Guidelines: Pick one of the suggested topics and narrow the focus: make a specific, original point as your central idea/thesis about the topic. Support that central idea/thesis with observations and research, devoting one paragraph to each point that supports your central idea/thesis. Include a concluding paragraph that reiterates your central idea and summarizes your main developing points. Make sure that your essay is clearly written and that you edit it for grammar.

***I also have to do a 4-6 minute long speech on this paper. The speech cannot be just reading the paper directly. It must be directed at a specific audience (specified at the beginning) and must give the thesis and support for it. I would very much appreciate it if you could help me configure/summarize the paper to write the speech as well. (Closer to 4 minutes than 6 would be best for me)

Thank you!
