Below, you’ll see an example of how I would like you to complete the annotated citation page for the Speech 2 & 3 Proposal assignments. All citations should be in APA format and adhere strictly to APA style guidelines. You should annotate each of your chosen sources. The annotated citation page will be worth 10 of the 20 available points for the proposal assignment. For each source, write a short paragraph that illustrates the credibility and applicability of the source as it relates to your topic, speech goals, and your audience. 150-200 words per annotation will suffice.
Wisconsin Department of Transportation (2009, June 30). Seat belt law. Retrieved from http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/safety/vehicle/seatbelt/law.htm
Wisconsin’s Department of Transportation (DOT) website offers specific information about Wisconsin’s seat belt laws and how they are enforced. Of particular note, the seat belt law in Wisconsin is a primary enforcement law which means that police officers can stop a car and issue a ticket for not wearing a seat belt as they would other routine traffic violations. The webpage indicates that primary enforcement seat belt laws have been proven to increase seat belt usage in several states.
This source is an important addition to my speech because it partially supports my claim that seat belt regulation leads to higher rates of seat belt usage, thus lowering injury and fatality in accidents. The DOT is a credible, primary source that my audience can trust as an objective voice of authority on Wisconsin’s rules of the road. I am hoping that this source will demonstrate the necessity of seat belt regulation as I persuade them to use their seat belts more regularly.
