1. To demonstrate an understanding of the correct way to create an outline and speaker's notes, find a brief article on the Internet on the subject of fairness and accuracy in the news media. Reduce the article to an outline, and then reduce the outline to brief speaker's notes.

Possible Strategy: To find articles, use keywords in Yahoo! News Full Coverage (fullcoverage.yahoo.com/fc/).

2. Create a topic outline on "weather topics," with major headings and subheadings.

Possible Strategy: To find raw material, go the Librarians' Index to the Internet (lii.org/). Click on "Science, Technology & Computers" and then "Weather."
