Education Speech Communication Week 4 Assignment

Activity 2: Speech Outline

Context: Outlines are important to help you both prepare and deliver a speech.

Outlines:

· Organize your ideas;

· Presents your material in a logical form;

· Show the relationships among ideas in your writing;

· Help you construct an ordered overview of your speech;

· Groups ideas into main points.

When you clearly outline exactly what points you would like to convey in each section of your speech, it will be much easier to envision. You can ensure you do not skip anything crucial and that your speech follows a logical sequence and order of information.

The following YouTube video on  Making an Outline provides additional information on the importance of outlining:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCujEU6xZS0  ( Transcript )

Write a preparation and a speaking outline for the clip that you select. Each outline will feature an introduction, body and conclusion much like the template on page 148 of your text. This assignment should be around 2 pages in length.

A  preparation outline is the full sentence outline used to construct and organize all of the components in your speech. This is your actual speech. This outline is used to both practice your speech and to construct your speaking outline. For your preparation outline be sure to include all of the speech components, including the introduction, main points, conclusion, and transition sentences. You will also need to include a title, and your general purpose, specific purpose, central idea, and preview. This is a full sentence outline, not a manuscript.

A  speaking outline is the outline used to remind the speaker of the parts of a speech during delivery. In essence, it is used to jog the speaker's memory during delivery. This is often written on an index card or notecard because they're small and convenient to carry while delivering your speech. This outline can be different for each speaker, since the words that jog a person's memory will be different from person to person.
