Describe the steps you would need to take to develop a research plan. Outline how you will enact a research plan for your speech

What will be an ideal response?

Start early and gather more information than you think you'll need. Think carefully about your
topic and where you should go to find the best information to help you create your speech.
Prepare a preliminary list of references. Be selective about materials that will enhance your own
knowledge and clarify information for your listeners. Look for the best information you can find
to support your own views. Be sure you understand your instructor's specifications for the
number and types of supporting materials required. Take good notes and keep complete
information on the sources. Say "enough is enough."
