A preparation outline is required for your persuasive speech. Refer to chapter 11 in The Art of Public Speaking for an example and a complete description on the use and development of a preparation outline.
- Your typed, complete preparation outline should:
-
- Include your topic, general purpose statement, specific purpose statement, and central ideas statement.
- Demonstrate the logical structure and organization of your speech.
- Be broken down into the three main sections of your speech: introduction, body, and conclusion.
- Indicate how you plan to transition from one section to the next. You must include a complete bibliography with your outline.
- Please refer to pp. 203-205 and 304-306 of the textbook for a good sample preparation outline. You should use this example as a template when creating and submitting your own outline.
For the overall structure, be sure to incorporate the following:
- A clear and logical organizational pattern throughout
- Effective, smooth transition sentences between sections
- The introduction should include:
-
- A creative and effective “attention-getter” or hook
- A statement relating the topic to yourself and your audience
- The overarching idea of your speech and a preview of your main points
- The body of the speech should be broken into logical main points that support the overall theme, topic, and purpose. This speech should effectively persuade your audience to follow a certain opinion or action. Use your evidence wisely (examples, statistics, testimony, and stories), cite all sources, and utilize vivid language
- Be sure to review and highlight the main points in your conclusion
