LCTA Task
Introduction
The WGU Writing, Research and Presentation LCTA performance task is one of the
assessments that you are required to pass to satisfy the requirements of the Language and
Communication domain for your degree. This performance task will allow you to demonstrate
that you have mastered competencies in the use of standard English as it is used for written
and spoken expression. To review the individual competencies, visit www.wgu.edu or contact
your mentor for further information.
The Writing, Research and Presentation LCTA performance task consists of twelve
separate tasks that you will submit as a product to be graded by an independent third party.
To complete this performance task successfully you need to carefully follow directions and
complete all items with minimal mechanical or grammatical errors.
After review and approval by your instructor, you will submit each task to
TaskStream for grading by an independent third party. Instructions for submitting each
task are found within TaskStream. If you need help with TaskStream, contact them at
(800) 311-5656 or help@taskstream.com , or ask your mentor.
You will receive either a complete or incomplete grade on each task. Note: a rubric for
each task can be found at the end of the description for that task in TaskStream.

Task 1: Topic Definition
The first step in the writing process is to choose a topic. It is important to choose a topic that is
interesting to you, either personally or professionally, and will allow you to write a 5- to 8-page paper as
well as give an oral presentation. When choosing a topic, keep in mind that one of your sources will be
either an interview or a survey that you conduct as part of your research.
A good way to start looking for a topic is to think about issues, events, or subjects that generally interest
you or have recently caught your attention. If there are several topics you would like to explore before
making a decision, it might be helpful to briefly review them using a search engine on the Internet.
After choosing a topic that will interest you and a prospective reader, you will need to formulate a
researchable question to guide the focus of your research. This "guiding question" should encompass a
topic specific or focused enough to be appropriately addressed in a 5- to 8-page paper. Your guiding
question should take you in one of two directions: presenting what you have learned about your topic or
taking a stand on a controversial issue.
Once you have chosen a topic, contact your mentor to confirm that the topic and guiding question are
appropriate for this performance task.
Directions: Answer the following questions regarding your research paper topic.
1. What is the topic of your paper? Why did you choose this topic?
(Insert your response here)
2. How did you narrow your topic to fit the scope of this paper?
(Insert your response here)
3. What do you already know about this topic?
(Insert your response here)
4. What is your guiding question for this topic?
(Insert your response here)
5. What other questions do you hope to answer by investigating this topic?
(Insert your response here)
LCTA Version Revised 7/1/2005
LCTA for STUDENT NAME
Task 2: Audience Analysis for Paper
The audience of a paper is the intended or potential reader or readers, the person or a group of
people who will benefit from reading your paper and/or be able to take possible action on it. For most
writers, this is the most important consideration in planning, writing, and reviewing a document. You
should adapt your writing to meet the needs, interests, and background of your audience.
After defining your audience, consider what information your audience will be interested in and
what your audience needs to understand about your topic. This analysis forms the foundation for what
will be included in your paper.
Directions: Answer the following questions regarding your audience.
1. Who are the members of your audience? What type of readers are they (e.g., technicians,
executives, nonspecialists, students who share your interest, etc.)?
(Insert your response here)
2. How much and what type of knowledge, experience, or training do you expect your audience to
have about your topic?
(Insert your response here)
3. What ideas need to be defined in order for your audience to understand your topic?
(Insert your response here)
4. What technical points, jargon, or vocabulary will you need to explain so that your audience can
follow the points in your paper?
(Insert your response here)
5. What do you want your audience to remember or do after reading your paper?
(Insert your response here)

Task 3: Research Process Exhibit
Preliminary reading and researching in a library serves several purposes: it gives you an
overview of the subject, provides a beginning set of bibliography sources, restricts or narrows the topic,
and suggests the availability of sufficient source materials. This preliminary research should include
sources from a variety of formats to give you a broad range of information regarding your topic.
These sources should be relevant and current.
WGU has an extensive online library for your convenience. To access the library, login to the
student portal, and click on the Resources tab. Click on the Library link. You will find full-text
databases, interlibrary loan, document delivery, and electronic reserves (e-reserves) in the WGU online
library. If you need assistance you can contact the WGU librarian via email at wgulibrary@wgu.edu.
You should be able to find everything you need in the WGU library, but if you want to look elsewhere,
you are free to do so. Whatever the sources of your information, be sure they are relevant and reliable.
Note: At least two of your sources must be from the WGU library.
Directions: Fill in the appropriate information regarding your preliminary research.
1. Write a paragraph, describing your general approach or strategy for researching your topic. Include
why you selected a particular library or Internet sources
(Insert your response here)
2. List in APA format at least two relevant and reliable sources you found using the WGU online
library.
(Insert response here)
3. List in APA format at least 10 relevant and reliable sources drawn from at least 3 of the following
categories:





Task 4: Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography is the citation for a research source, including books, articles,
documents, etc. The citation is followed by a brief (usually about 50 words or 5 – 6 sentences)
descriptive and evaluative paragraph called the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform
the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Steps for Creating the Annotated Bibliography
1. Locate and record citations for research that may contain useful information and ideas on your
topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that best develop
your topic.
2. Choose at least 7 sources to include in your annotated bibliography.
3. Cite the source of the research using APA (American Psychological Association) style.
4. Following the citation, write a concise annotation (5-6 sentences) that:
a. summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article,
b. describes what is valuable or useful from this source for your topic, and
c. evaluates the authority or background of the author.
d. You might also consider who the intended audience for the source is and/or how this source
compares or contrasts with other sources in your research.
5. After the annotation, give the correct parenthetical citation as it will be used if you cite this
source in your paper. e.g. (Ullyatt, 2005).
Example of a book citation, annotation, and parenthetical citation:
Hirsch, E. (1988). Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know. New York: Random House.
E. D. Hirsch, Jr.’s Cultural Literacy is a landmark book which describes why there is a need for
Americans to at least have heard of the same ideas. He suggests that we don’t all need to understand every
detail of every idea, but that educated people should have at least heard of many of the same ideas and be able
to relate to them in some way in order for us all to be able to communicate effectively. His book also includes
a long list of ideas with which we should have some passing familiarity. This book is valuable because it
establishes knowledge and facts that can be implemented in classrooms to help students to enter a literate
society. E. D. Hirsch, Jr. is well known as the major editor of the Core Knowledge series books which are an
expansion on Cultural Literacy to help parents and educators know what should be taught at a specific grade
level (Hirsch, 1988).
Directions: Annotate at least 7 of your sources by giving the correct APA citation, a concise annotation,
and the parenthetical citation.

Task 5: Primary Research Exhibit
In this task you will develop and utilize an interview or a survey to gather information about your
topic.
Researchers use primary research methods to gather current information and search for
solutions to current problems. Primary research is information gained from an unpublished source such
as manuscripts, photographs, maps, artifacts, audio and video recordings, oral histories, surveys, and
interviews. In contrast, secondary materials synthesize and interpret primary materials.
Interview
An interview is conducted with a single person who has some specialized knowledge of your
topic. The questions you ask can, and often should, be followed up with other questions that allow the
interviewee to give you detailed answers to the questions you’re asking. Interviews are appropriate for
topics that are specialized where the broad opinion of many others would not result in anything other
than giving you opinions. Use open-ended questions so that the interviewee will give detailed answers.
Follow up with additional questions, where necessary, to ensure your understanding of the answers.
When conducting interviews, permission must be obtained for the interviewees name to appear on your
written submission.
Survey
A survey is designed to gather information from many people, usually for the purpose of
comparing their answers and finding information that can be generalized to a specific population.
Surveys are appropriate when you want to learn how a broad cross-section of people thinks about a
topic.
Your survey needs to be carefully constructed in order to give you useable results. The
questions need to be unbiased and worded so that everyone you ask will be able to answer the
question clearly. Most questions should have answer options, rather than being open-ended. This
allows you to group answers together for better understanding.
Surveys must include demographic information. The results are nearly meaningless if you know
nothing about the group of respondents. Depending on the purpose of your survey, this might include:
age, education level, number of children, location, etc. It can be any number of factors that will help
you to categorize the respondents.
Interview or Survey? Use your topic and the needs of your topic to determine whether you'll conduct
a personal interview or conduct a survey. Your interview or survey should ask questions that will
help you understand and support your thesis statement.
A. You will collect and report demographic information for interviewee or survey participants.
B. You will identify information you hope to gain during the interview or from the survey.
C. Using question construction guidelines, you will develop at least 10 questions for an interview
or a survey to gather information about your research topic.
D. You will conduct the interview or the survey.
E. You will include the results of the interview or survey as part of this task.

Task 6: Thesis Statement
To give your paper direction and organization, you will need to create a thesis statement and an outline.
The purpose of the outline is to organize your ideas about the topic on paper. An outline is like a road
map for your paper; it shows the main locations (your main points) and smaller cities (the points inside
your main points). Your paper will follow the map you create by moving from point to point with your
writing and research. Before traveling from point to point, you need to know where you're going.
Therefore, the first item to develop is the thesis statement.
The thesis statement is a single sentence in your text that contains the focus of your paper and tells the
reader the main point you will discuss regarding your topic. All the information you present in your
paper should be included in order to elaborate on this main point. Your thesis statement tells the reader
the paper's purpose and goal. Your thesis statement will need to be developed by evidence from your
research. A thesis statement is an introduction to a subject, not the subject itself. The body of the essay
presents organized information that will help the reader learn about your topic.
For example, if your topic is alternative fuel sources and you choose to write an informative paper, your
thesis might be, "Consumers are decreasing their consumption of fossil fuels by changing the way they
use energy sources." However, if you choose to write a persuasive paper, your thesis might be,
"Increasing demands on a limited supply of fossil fuels indicate that government and private industry
must combine resources to develop alternative sources of energy."
Directions: Write a single-sentence thesis statement that introduces your topic. Include a note
indicating whether you intend to write an informative or a persuasive paper.
(Insert your thesis statement and note here.)
LCTA Version Revised 7/1/2005
LCTA for STUDENT NAME
11
Task 7: Research Paper Organization
You will need to approach the organization of your paper very logically so your ideas are
presented in a way that is easily and clearly understood. After developing your thesis statement,
carefully review it before writing your outline. Your thesis statement provides the direction and
destination and your outline states the plan for getting there. Each main point in your outline should
support your thesis statement. Each sub-point should support the main point and thus support the
thesis statement.
Create an outline for your paper that shows the brief contents of each of the following:
I.
II.
III.
Introduction (including your thesis statement)
Body of the paper with main points and supporting details (showing the relationship of the
supporting information to the thesis statement)
Conclusion
(Insert your outline here.)
Note: You may want to submit this outline (Task 7) to TaskStream for approval before
completing your research paper (Task 8). Making sure you have produced a successful outline
as described in the attached rubric may save you the trouble of having to redo both the outline
and the final research paper.
LCTA Version Revised 7/1/2005
LCTA for STUDENT NAME
12
Task 8: The Research Paper
Writing your research paper is a matter of filling in the blanks if you have found good research,
developed a good thesis statement, and developed a good outline. The blanks are filled in with
evidence that develops your thesis statement and demonstrates how the evidence supports your thesis
statement.
Your paper should have a clear point (as presented by your thesis statement) which is supported by
interesting, thought-provoking details and well-synthesized research. The research, coming from a
variety of sources, should draw a specific conclusion (as presented by your thesis statement) and
contribute to the depth of the paper.
Your writing style and tone should be formal and use standard English. Use an academic voice that
presents the research and conclusions without speaking directly to the reader.
Your paper must follow APA style for formatting and citation. This means acknowledging the sources of
quotations and paraphrasing through appropriate in-text citation. (Any sources cited in the body of the
paper must be included in the reference list at the end of the paper, and any sources included in the
reference list must have an in-text citation in the body of the paper.)
Save your draft, a final copy, and the explanation of your revisions as separate word processing
documents (*.rtf files). Then submit them as attachments to this task.
Directions:
1. Write and submit a research paper.
Using the audience analysis, research, insights you have gathered, and the outline and thesis
statement you have drafted, write an essay in APA format which includes:
- a title page
- an introduction (generally one paragraph) that introduces your topic and includes your thesis
statement
- body paragraphs (generally 5 - 6 pages) using relevant research (cited with in-text citations in APA
format) that supports your thesis statement
- a conclusion (generally one paragraph) that concludes the specific points of your essay and restates
your thesis statement
- a list of the references you cited in your paper (in APA format)
Save your paper as an *.rtf (Rich Text Format) file and submit it as an attachment to this task.
2. Provide a copy of an earlier draft with an explanation of revisions:
Submit at least one earlier draft that shows revisions you have made. Save this version as an *.rtf (Rich
Text Format) file named "DRAFT" and submit it as an attachment to this task. Include an explanation
(maximum of one page) of revisions you made to the earlier draft and how the final draft is an
improvement over the earlier draft. Also describe the strengths and weaknesses of your writing.
3. If you have seen a writing tutor, have the tutor fill out the writing tutor form included in this
task in TaskStream.

Note: When using outside sources to support ideas and elements in a paper, the submission MUST
include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or
paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or
paraphrased in the text of the paper. Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can
be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from outside sources, even if cited correctly. Here are some
helpful APA resources:

Task 9: Presentation Audience Analysis
Knowing your audience is the first and most crucial step in giving a presentation. You cannot speak
effectively to people without first understanding their perspective. For this task, analyze the audience
who might best benefit from your presentation.
Directions: Answer the following questions for the audience who will listen to your oral presentation.
1. Name and describe your audience. Provide as much detail as possible.
(Insert your response here)
2. How much does the audience know about your topic?
(Insert your response here)
3. What attitudes toward your topic can be observed from the audience? How does this affect your
presentation?
(Insert your response here)
4. What do you want audience members to know, believe, or do as a result of your presentation?
(Insert your response here)
5. What demeanor, approach, and level of formality does the audience usually expect from those
giving oral presentations?
(Insert your response here)
6. Name a different audience to whom you could present:

Task 10: Presentation Outline
The goal of a speaking outline is to help you remember what you want to say. You will want to include
information that will help you maintain the flow and direction of your presentation. It is not the same as
your research paper outline because it will need to include more detail to prompt you to important
points. It should contain key words or phrases to refresh your memory as well as essential statistics
and quotations that you do not want to risk forgetting. Remember that if your notes are too detailed, you
will have difficulty maintaining eye contact with your audience, so you should make your outline as brief
as possible to prevent yourself from reading rather than presenting to your audience. You should also
give yourself cues for delivering the presentation—when to speak more softly or more slowly, when to
pause, etc. Keep in mind that your presentation should be about 6 minutes long.
Directions: Write a presentation outline. Include 3-4 main points with supporting details, examples or
facts, and memory cues. Use either a Roman numeral or Arabic number system.
Type your presentation outline into a word processing program and save it as an *.rtf (Rich Text
Format) file. Then submit it as an attachment to this task.
Note: You may want to submit this outline (Task 10) for approval before completing your videotaped
presentation (Task 12). Making sure you have produced a successful outline may save you the trouble
of having to redo both the outline and the videotaped presentation.
LCTA Version Revised 7/1/2005

Task 11: Visual Aids
Visual aids can be very helpful to you as a speaker. Your audience will find your message more
interesting, grasp it more easily, and retain it longer when it is presented visually as well as verbally.
Possible visual aids include handouts, posters (must be readable on video), PowerPoint slides (with
projection system), transparencies or slides, or flipcharts. There are numerous items that you could
include as your visual aid: charts, graphs, maps, drawings, photographs, videos, real objects, or
models.
Visual Aid Guidelines
 Visual aids must be relevant to the presentation.
 Visual aids should be simple and easy to understand. They should not contain too much text or
too many pictures or drawings. If the visual aid is too cluttered, it will not fulfill its purpose of
making your presentation more understandable.
 Visual aids such as posters, PowerPoint slides, transparencies, and flipcharts must be big
enough to be easily seen by your entire audience. Please note that PowerPoint presentations
will not show up on video unless you use a projection system.
Directions: Create and submit a copy of the visual aid(s) you used for your presentation and answer the
following questions.
1. Name and describe the visual aid you used. How does this visual aid relate to and support the
main point(s) of your presentation?
(Insert your response here)
2. Why did you decide to use this visual aid? Explain the strengths and weaknesses of this visual aid
compared to at least one other visual aid that you considered.
(Insert your response here)
3. How will you incorporate the visual aid into your presentation?
(Insert your response here)
4. Provide a citation for the source of the contents of your visual aid.

Task 12: Five- to Seven-Minute Video-Taped Presentation
As a reminder, creating the videotaped presentation is done independent of this class. The presentation
should be sent directly to WGU. Contact your mentor if you have any questions about the presentation.
Read the important information in TaskStream concerning camera resolution, and size and
format of the video files acceptable for submission to TaskStream.
Here are some suggestions for making your presentation as professional as possible.
Presentation Guidelines:
 Use a head and shoulders shot of yourself for most of the video. Avoid wide shots or
zooming in too much.
 Use a tripod if possible to keep the camera steady.
 Avoid distracting backgrounds.
Sound/Audio:
 Make sure you are close enough to the microphone to be heard clearly.
 Speak in clear, natural tones.
 Film inside when possible to avoid background noises from cars, wind, airplanes, etc.
 When filming inside, avoid background noises from children, animals, television, etc.
Lighting Guidelines:
 Avoid lighting from behind you from windows, lamps, or sun. Backlighting makes it
difficult to see you.
 If lights must be turned off or down to see overheads or a PowerPoint presentation,
focus the remaining light on you.
Presenter Guidelines:
 Dress appropriately in solid colors. Avoid black, white, or red because the camera does
not like bright colors or patterns.
 Smile and try to relax.
 Rehearse your presentation several times so you are more confident.
 Stand up straight and do not tilt your head. Use a podium if necessary.
 Look at your audience and the camera while you are speaking; do not read your
presentation.
Visual Aid Guidelines:
 Unless you have a projection system, it is difficult for the camera to successfully film a
PowerPoint presentation on a computer monitor. The screen rolls and the text and
graphics are too small to be seen.
 Avoid using chalkboards or whiteboards. Prepare all visual aids in advance.
 Make sure to hold visual aids still so the camera can get a good shot.

1. Record your presentation in front of at least one person. (This observer must complete the
“observer form” In TaskStream. Members of the audience—or this single observer—must also ask
at least two questions, to which you must respond at some point during your presentation.) As a
part of your presentation, you should:
a. Present a clear introduction to your topic.
b. Develop 3 - 4 main points.
c. Exhibit confidence, credibility, and topic knowledge.
d. Use your outline as a reference (rather than a script) to help you present each point and its
supporting details without reading too much of the presentation
e. Speak clearly, using standard English, and demonstrate respect for your audience in your
mannerisms and gestures.
f. Demonstrate respect for the audience by tactfully presenting your information.
g. Bring the presentation to a clear conclusion with a few closing remarks.
h. Respond to at least two questions posed by your audience at some point in the
presentation.
i. Complete your presentation within 5-7 minutes.
2. Submit a video recording of your presentation. Videos CANNOT BE LARGER THAN 20 MB to
be viewable by grader. File sizes of finished videos will probably need to be minimized. Please
consult the camera's manual to learn how to change the resolution settings to produce the smallest
file sizes possible. If no manual is available, contact a camera vendor or photo shop for assistance.
Consulting the manufacturer's website may be helpful as well.
Note: If you do not have a digital video camera, commercial digitizing services (for copying VHS
tapes onto DVDs) are available for a fee in the photo departments of national retailers such as WalMart, ShopKo, and in various camera/photo shops nationwide. You might also want to check with
the media center at a public library or university in your area. If your location prohibits access to
these service providers, you can contact:
