Answer 1

ok ur intro is just introducing what u will be talking about. try to make ur topic sentence (ur first sentence) really interesting to grab attention. can also be a question. narrowing down ur topic just means dont talk about how u like this and this about barack obama but u like this about john mccain. just talk about one subject and one subject only. restate ur postition on the election.  

Answer 2

I hope it is not DUE tomorrow. That is a seriously detailed outline. You should be able to find responses to a number of the bullets on Wikipedia. Remember to CITE all your references, do not plagiarize! Write the responses in your own words.

Answer 3

You have a wonderful outline.  Start with selecting the topic of the presidential elections.  Assuming you are speaking about the US presidential elections:  maybe election night coverage?

pick one station, talk about their style

How close were elections?

Take one step at a time.  Pick a topic, then go from there..
