To find articles for your persuasive speeches, you will need to access the library's databases. If you don't have recent experience with our library's databases, then I suggest first watching this introductory video.
The next video shows you how to search Issues & Controversies, which is the database in which you will find the articles that you need for your persuasive speeches.
The next video shows you how to search Opposing Viewpoints, which is the database in which you will find the articles that you need for your persuasive speeches.
The next video shows you how to search CQ Researcher, which is the database in which you will find the articles that you need for your persuasive speeches.
Most of the library's resources, including news articles, journal articles, videos, ebooks, and print books, can be searched through this single search portal. This video shows you how to use it.
This is our video that introduces APA documentation. I urge you to watch the entire video carefully before starting to write your paper or annotated bibliography. It is much easier to cite correctly as you go along, rather than try to fix your documentation after you have written your paper.
This is our complete APA guide, which goes into more detail about citing sources and formatting correctly.
It includes our sample paper. When you're writing a paper, you can model the formatting of your paper after this one.
If you are unsure how to set up the formatting in Microsoft Word so that it fits the requirements for APA formatting, you could instead download this blank Word document that has the formatting already set up for you.
