How do you orally footnote and why is it important to your speech? Give an example of a satisfactory oral footnote and compare it to an inadequate one

What will be an ideal response?


To acknowledge your sources and to take credit for the research you have done, you will need to provide "oral footnotes" for ideas and supporting materials in your speech that are not your own. Doing so accomplishes two goals. First, clear source citations enhance the credibility of what you say by demonstrating that experts and data support your position. Second, clear source citations help interested listeners find published sources that they might wish to read or study.
