You are expected to use scholarly (peer reviewed) sources in your research. These include academic journals and books. In particular, find a scholarly article that helps you use the advance method of rhetorical criticism that you have selected in developing your analysis of the speech you have chosen. Use at least 2 scholarly sources in preparing this assignment. Newspapers, available online, can provide supplemental information, particularly with recent speeches that you will analyze, but only use newspaper articles that were written around the time of the speech; articles written much later tend to be historical appreciations. Many government and non-government agencies no longer publish official reports on paper, but their documents are available online as primary sources. Other webpages, especially social media, blogs, and news aggregators, lack the editorial review oversight that makes published information reliable, useful, and acceptable. Wikipedia can help you orient your academic search, but it is not a scholarly source.
