Tomia, You found some sources that may be credible, but you do not relate them to supporting materials you list or show how they will relate to your American business audience. You will also need a greater variety of support types to provide a balance of appeals to pathos, logos, and ethos to motivate your audience with this speech. My best advice for you is to make another attempt, using credible sources and supports more relevant to your business. Kindly, Professor Davis	*Overall Score:* *46/75*

�Hi again, Tomia.

�What kind of company is this intended for?

�Your thesis should be the most important single sentence in the speech. Design it to align with what you know about the audience and what you want to accomplish in this setting. Your statement seems rather abstract to me, not specific to the occasion.

�It does not seem to be written for an American business audience.

�This link is to an Abstract, not a full-text article.

�“We explored the effect of transformational leadership and trust in leaders on knowledge collecting and knowledge donating, the 2 components of knowledge sharing, with data from 368 employees at 63 Chinese firms.” Again, not intended for an American business audience.

�All your sources appear to contain highly technical research studies that are not credibly written for American companies or of relevant depth for your audience and thesis statement.

�From which of the above sources does this support come? Always cite your sources to the audience. It will enhance your credibility and that of your message.

�Is it an example, a statistic, an analogy, a definition, a visual, a story, or a testimony?

�From where? All the supports should come from one of three credible, relevant sources you listed above. That is how we know the supports are credible and relevant, too.

�Whose testimony? Is it credible?

�We look for 5 citations of directly relevant pieces of supporting evidence to back up the claims you make in your speech. All supports need citations either verbally in the speech or visually.

Supports should relevant and vary in the support types listed in the template sufficiently to provide a balance of appeals to pathos, logos, and ethos.

�What did you learn about finding credible sources with supporting materials relevant to your audience purpose and thesis?
