Sources
Use at least 3 outside sources of information (6 for maximum credit) for the visual aids speech. Cite these sources orally in your speech, where you use them in the body of the speech. You may use written sources (e.g., books, magazines, newspapers), credible online sources, and personal interviews.

Organization
The introduction to the visual aids speech should gain attention, orient the audience by stating the topic, offer a reason for listening, and preview the body of the speech.
The body of the visual aids speech must contain 2-5 main points using patterns of organization covered in the textbook; other patterns of organization must have prior approval by the instructor. Each main point must be well supported by 2-5 1st-order sub-points (what the textbook calls subpoints) designed to illustrate the main points (examples, illustrations, facts, quotations, etc.) Don’t overload the audience with information. Move from simple to complex ideas. Move from familiar to unfamiliar ideas. Define your terms.
The conclusion of the visual aids speech should restate or summarize the main points and communicate a sense of finality (verbally or nonverbally indicate that you have finished talking). You may end the speech with a story or quotation.

Transitions between major sections of the visual aids speech (introduction, body, conclusion) and the main points should be carefully planned and used while delivering the speech. Use transitions to move the audiences attention from section to section and from main point to main point in the body of the speech.

Ecological Models in Environmental Health Applying Social Cognitive Theory to Environmental Health

/in /by

The Ecological Model in health education focuses attention on the individual as well as the social environmental factors as the targets for any interventions. This model shows how influences on all different levels interrelate, and add to a health problem. Health is influenced on multiple levels.

For this Discussion, consider the problem of global water scarcity, and explore how different levels of influence may contribute to the problem and interact with each other.

With these thoughts in mind:
Post a description of the environmental problem of water scarcity. Then, based on the core principles of the Ecological Model, explain how the multiple levels of influence contribute to the problem and interact with each other. Finally, describe a basic environmental health intervention and explain how it might be applied at each level of influence.
