Your outline format should follow this guideline but with specific details. DO NOT write out a full manuscript or paper for your speech. However, do take this opportunity to organize your research and provide me with the references from which you are receiving your information. Your speech will need to last from 3-5 minutes which means your outline should be about 1 page to 1.5 pages long depending on how concise your data is.
The structure of your outline is as follows:
I. Introduction
A. Attention Device
B. Statement of topic and it’s significance
C. THESIS STATEMENT: Your thesis statement must include your topic and the three keywords you will use to describe each of your main points.
II. Main Point A (INCLUDE A KEYWORD HERE)
Reference for your Supporting Facts: “According to Author’s last name, publication, date … .” (THIS PHRASE WILL OCCUR EACH TIME YOU INCLUDE INFORMATION FROM A NEW SOURCE)
A. Supporting Fact
B. Supporting Fact
C. Supporting Fact (THE NUMBER IF SUPPORTING FACTS YOU HAVE SHOULD MATCH THE NUMBER ON YOUR RESEARCH ORGANIZER)
TRANSITION STATEMENT: What are you going to say to get from point A to Point B:
III. B. Main Point B (INCLUDE A KEYWORD HERE)
Reference for your Supporting Facts: “According to … .” (IF YOU ARE RETURNING TO A SOURCE PREVIOUSLY CITED USE ONLY AUTHOR’S LAST NAME)
A. Supporting Fact
B. Supporting Fact
C. Supporting Fact
TRANSITION STATEMENT: How are you going to get from point B to Point C.
IV. Main Point C (INCLUDE YOUR KEYWORD C HERE)
Reference for your Supporting Facts: “According to … .”
A. Supporting Fact
B. Supporting Fact
C. Supporting Fact
TRANSITION STATEMENT: How are you going to get from Point C to your Conclusion
V. Conclusion
A. REPEAT YOUR THESIS
B. Restate your topic importance (OPTIONAL)
C. Revisit your attention Device. In other words, if you opened with a question, answer it. If you began with a quote, repeat it. If you opened with a joke, mention the joke or punchline again. Revisiting your opening is how your audience knows that you are finished.
