When I did project 2 of the Entertaining Speaker, which is titled something like "Resources for Entertainment", I really liked the speech I came up with and got good feedback from the audience. I'd like to try this speech at the humourous speech contests.
But, as may be guessed from the project title, it draws heavily on others' materials. Originally I was going to mostly draw from a non-fiction book on structural physics that I found very funny (yes, seriously) but in the end that book only supplied the middle third and the speech became one on civil engineering disasters (none in which anyone actually got killed), with me drawing stories from several other real-world cases for the first and third points. The speech also relies on some slides for punchlines to jokes, along with some other scene-setting slides, none of which are my own photos, and I structured the whole speech around a software engineering joke.
Can this possibly meet the originality requirements? Any advice on possible tweaks to be sure?
