  1. This is a very elaborate and clear outline of what you are going to be doing for your project. One important thing to remember is to cite your source at the point in your speech where you are going to be referencing its content. Otherwise, good job!

  2. Very good details and organization. It definitely looks like you got it down! Reminds me to find a reference for mine as well. I went ahead I read through your reference as well and "man, those are some hot wheels.", definitely supports your sexist claims.
