You need to collect information from at least five different database collections using the Park Online Library Databases (http://www.park.edu/library/databases.html).

In addition, you need at least three different types of supporting materials as identified in Chapter 8 of the textbook: brief examples, extended examples, dictionary definition, expert definition, etymological definition, functional definition, expert testimony, lay testimony, statistics, narratives, literal analogies, or figurative analogies.

The information you collect must:

• be relevant to your topic;
• be specific (only something you would quote, paraphrase, or summarize in your speech, not an entire article for example);
• be purposeful as a specific type of supporting material.
