If your speech requires documentation, hand in your Works Cited along with your outline. Late outlines and documentation will lose two points per week or portion of a week. Feel free to make changes and marginal notes. The outline does not have to be neat, but it should be easily legible. Follow the guidelines below.
Introduction includes attention getter, thesis, and preview.
Body includes two, three, or four main points that support thesis. Main points in body follow logical order. Roman numerals, letters, and arabic numbers are combined with indentation to identify main and subordinate levels. Ideas are carefully divided into major elements and subordinate items. Every subdivision contains at least two items.
