The outline is an important part of speech development. You will be required to submit an outline with your speech (informative and persuasive) as part of the speech grade.

The final outline contains ALL information you include in the speech.

From an extemporaneous standpoint, you are not reading from the outline, but through practice and preparation, the content will be very similar to what you actually say in the speech..

This week you will be writing a "preparation outline." This outline include a visual framework and required information IN COMPLETE SENTENCES. I encourage you to write as much as possible so I may review it and provide you with feedback. One area that I do not expect you to have fully developed is the sub-points. This is where the support material of your speech is located.

Below you will see a place for sub-points with the word "optional" next to it. This means that you do not have to include sub-points. All other information is required.

Using the following visual framework, provide information related to the required element of the speech. Do not delete any of the template that is in bold below. Doing so will result in lost points.

   A. Gaining attention – please specifically describe the attention gaining device you plan to use in the speech. If it's a quote or speech or question, tell me what it is.

   B. Specific Purpose Statement – Be sure to word it correctly, per your textbook.

   C. Credibility – explain how you will establish your credibility

   D. Preview Statement – you will need to provide the one-sentence preview statement. You can also include information you plan to use to establish your central theme.
